Ershad, Hasina in meeting


A 15-member delegation of Jatiya Party headed by its Chairman HM Ershad started a meeting with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina this evening.
The JP leaders are expected to seek clarification about her proposal for forming an all-party election-time government.
The meeting began around 7:45pm at the prime minister’s official residence Gono Bhaban, Ziauddin Ahmed Bablu, political secretary to the JP chairman, told The Daily Star.
Bablu, also a presidium member of the JP, a key component in the ruling Awami League-led grand alliance, said the latest political situation, prime minister’s address to the nation, next general election and polls-time government issues to dominate the talks.
JP earlier on Saturday termed the premier’s much-talked-about proposal “unclear and vague”.
In a televised speech to the nation, Sheikh Hasina on Friday urged the main opposition BNP to nominate its lawmakers for inclusion in the all-party election-time government and interim cabinet.
She, however, did not specify the number of cabinet members, its area of work or who would head the cabinet. It was also not clear when the interim cabinet would be formed.
