Politics of hartal can't bring any good: Ershad

Jatiya Party Chairman HM Ershad in a statement yesterday expressed deep concern over political parties' plan to call a hartal protesting fuel price hike.

'Politics of destruction and hartal can't bring any good for country's people. Hartal for a day causes huge damage to the economy,' Ershad said.

He reminded all concerned that currently degree examinations as well as admission tests of different schools are going on and a hartal will affect the examinees.

Ershad suggested programmes including meetings, processions, human chain or roundtable discussion, instead of calling hartal, which will not cause any sufferings to the people.
