Jatiya Party [JP] chief HM Ershad said on Saturday there was no democracy in the country. ‘Democracy has been absent in the country since 1990,’ the former dictator and now special envoy to prime minister Sheikh Hasina observed while talking to journalists Saturday morning at his Rangpur residence’ Palli Nibash’ Ershad said ‘democratic culture’ had been put to rest in the country after the end of his rule. None of the oppositions could play their role in any parliament since 1990, he said. ‘The country has to go through violence, bloodshed and killing in the name of politics. No democratic government has been established.’ He said JP made an attempt to end the ongoing political stand-off in the country by calling for a dialogue with all concerned.
