He claims Raushon is making ‘fabricated comments’, oblivious of the party Constitution and is misusing her position with the support of some ‘opportunist’ leaders.

The former military dictator said this while talking to reporters at the Rangpur Circuit House on Monday.

Taking exception to Raushon’s claim that there was no ‘democracy’ in the JP, Ershad said, “It’s because Article 39 of the party Constitution was passed in the council that 39 people including Anisul Islam Mahmud and she become Presidium members.”

“They should know this.”

Condemning the killing of Rajshahi University professor AFM Rezaul Karim Siddiquee, Ershad said there had been a spurt in such incidents because of the ‘culture of impunity’.

He claimed that a group was orchestrating one killing after another in the country to malign the government.

Such killings would have been stopped, he said, had the perpetrators been tracked down and given exemplary punishment.
