Ershad not happy with EC

Jatiya Party Chairman HM Ershad yesterday said his party would not participate in the next parliamentary polls under the present election commission, as it had lost all credibility.
Ershad, a key leader in the ruling grand alliance, added that they all had to get rid of the present “unsuccessful” government.
“The election commission is wilfully giving up its powers one after another. We cannot trust such a commission. Jatiya Party does not want to participate in any election under this EC,” he told a post-Eid reunion in the capital.
The reunion was organised by Praktan Jatiya Chhatra Samaj at the Emanuel Convention Centre.
“We wanted to have a strong election commission that would work independently, not following the government's instructions. But we have lost such a commission as it has become controversial,” the JP chairman said.
Ershad criticised Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's recent comment that she would not budge an inch on holding the elections in line with the constitution.
