Bangladesh people want change, says Ershad

Claiming that the country sees no peace and order whenever Awami League and BNP come to power, Jatiya Party chairman HM Ershad on Tuesday said people now want a change.

"And Jatiya Party can bring that change. The country sees peace and order whenever our party is in power," he said while addressing a rally arranged by Mathbaria upazila unit of his party at Shaheed Mostafa field in the upazila of Pirojpur.

Ershad said his party kept its head high although its many leaders, including him, were put behind the bars to destroy it. "Many had thought that Jatiya Party couldn't make a turnaround."

He also alleged that although Awami League came to power with the support of his party, Jatiya Party got nothing in return.
