Jatiya Party Chief Patron and Leader of the Opposition in Parliament Raushan Ershad has declared herself party chairperson.

The news decision was announced in a press release on Tuesday.

Raushan took charge of this post as per the advice and decision of the party’s senior leaders and to bring pace in the party’s activities, according to the Jatiya Party press release.

Raushan will perform her duties as chairman till the next council, it also said.

Jatiya Party insiders said four co-chairmen–Ruhul Amin Hawlader, and lawmakers Kazi Firoz Rashid, Salma Islam and Abu Hossain Babla–wrote to Raushan last December expressing their lack of confidence in GM Quader and saying he was ineligible to perform the role of chairman.

However, JP secretary general Mujibul Haque Chunnu told Daily Sun they do not know about it.

‘She can’t be declared as the party chairman,” he said.

Jatiya Party chairman GM Quader is now in Delhi visit.
