Expelled Jatiya Party leader Kazi Zafar Ahmed has urged Chairman Hussein Muhammad Ershad, also Special Envoy of the Prime Minister, to retire from politics conceding his ‘failure’.
“He is now near about 90. I would tell him ‘Mr Ershad, it’s enough. I’ve become free from you; now the nation wants to be freed from you. You should retire from politics by accepting your failure’,” Zafar said.
The Chairman of the newest breakaway faction of the party was speaking at a discussion at the National Press Club.
He described Ershad as a villain who had perfected the art of political summersaults.
Zafar, the former Secretary General of the Jatiya Party, felt that politics would be transparent and vibrant if the former military ruler retired.
“I don’t know in which battlefield the so-called army chief had fought,” Zafar, who had been in Ershad’s party for over two decades since the last quarter of 1980s, said.
He was apparently referring to newspaper reports that quoted Ershad having said that he was a successful army chief.
“His objective is to gain advantage out of disturbances. After the parliamentary election, he has been talking irrelevantly to fish in muddy waters.
“I would like to tell him, ‘That’s enough. It’s time you stepped down,” the former Prime Minister of Ershad’s cabinet said.

I agree. Ershad should step down and spend the rest of his useless life in jail. That would be a good reward for the “so called Army chief”.
