Jatiya Party Chairman HM Ershad yesterday said his party's lawmakers would step down from the cabinet soon. He said not getting the due respect as the opposition has prompted the party to take the decision. The former president made the comments while replying to questions of reporters at his house 'Palli Nibash' here. Opposition Leader Raushan Ershad, wife of the JP chief, has also agreed on the
issue, he claimed. Raushan also informed US Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs Nisha Desai Biswal about the decision during the latter's recent visit to the country, he said. Ershad, the special envoy to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, also strongly criticised the primary terminal examinations' question “leaks”. “Where are the children being taken to? Towards what the country is heading? This has become a matter of concern for the people,” he said. Advertisement The JP chief said the country experiences an economic downturn. The country would face crisis if there was no increase in the foreign investments. Chhatra League, the student body of the ruling Awami League, and Jubo League, the youth front of the AL, are engaged in factional clashes. Teachers are being killed. However, the government is not seen taking any steps in this regard, he alleged. Stating the people are not living in peace, Ershad said people are in the extreme level of insecurity. That is why they want a change. They do not want AL or BNP in power anymore.
