Self-proclaimed chairman of Jatiya Party Kazi Zafar Ahmed on Saturday announced that his party is going to join the BNP-led 18-party alliance.
“We’ll join the 18-party alliance today, turning it into a 19-party one,” he told a press conference at his Gulshan residence.
Zafar said the decision of joining the alliance was taken at his party’s central working committee’s extended meeting in the afternoon.
The former Prime Minister claimed that he is the real Jatiya Party chairman and described HM Ershad as a villain and his wife, Raushan Ershad, as the leader of the pro-Awami League JP followers.
Replying to a question, Zafar said the fall of the current regime is imminent. “No one believes this government and parliament will last for long.”
Jatiya Party chairman HM Ershad sacked Zafar from his party on November 29 as he made derogatory remarks against the former military ruler following his decision to join the 10th parliamentary elections and the election-time cabinet.
Later, Zafar said he reconstituted the Jatiya Party committee by removing its chief HM Ershad and claimed he is the chairman of the new committee while Ghulam Moshi its secretary general.
