Ershad likely to return home tonight

Jatiya Party chairman HM Ershad is expected to return from Singapore to Dhaka tonight following his two-week treatment, says JP presidium member SM Faysal Chisti.

From the Shahjalal International Airport Ershad would go directly to his Baridhara residence, Chisti said.

‘Following his two-week treatment in Singapore, he [Ershad] is now physically alright and expected to start campaigning for Dhaka 17 constituency tomorrow,’ Ershad Chisti said.

JP leaders earlier had confirmed that Ershad would return to Dhaka on 20 and then December 22 and lastly on December 24.

The deposed military dictator is participating for Dhaka 17 and Rangpur 3 constituencies though he was allotted seat only in Rangpur from the ruling party Awami League. 

In Dhaka 17, Ershad will have to participate in triangular contest with AL nominated Dhallywood hero Akbar Hossain Pathan Farooque and Jatyiya Oikya Front nominated and Bangladesh Jaitya Party president Andaleeve Rahman.  

Before leaving for Singapore on December 10, Ershad took treatment at the Combined Military Hospital for about a month.
