Jatiya Party, a key component of the ruling Awami League-led 14-party alliance, will not join the alliance-sponsored grand rally in the city slated for March 14.
JP Chairman HM Ershad disclosed this to reporters in Feni on Tuesday, Bangla daily Prothom Alo reports.
Ershad is leading a JP long march, which started from Dhaka Monday morning, to Feni river to protest sharing of water of the river with India.
The long march reached Dumghat bridge on Dhaka-Chittagong highway Tuesday morning.
“The Jatiya Party is not taking part in the grand alliance’s programme,” the former dictator said replying to a query.
During a wayside rally at Gozaria bus stand in Munshiganj Monday morning, he blasted the advisers to the prime minister for their “pro-Indian attitude”, reports UNB.
“Are they the people of Bangladesh or India? They don't speak in favour of Bangladesh, rather speak for India. Where do they come from? We don't need such advisers,” Ershad said.
Ershad alleged that a conspiracy was on to turn Noakhali region into a desert. “All, irrespective of opinion and party affiliation, should resist it.”
The same day, the JP chief said Feni is a river of Bangladesh. “The origin and mainstream of the river is in our land. So, we will not share the water of the river.”
Though, he alleged that India has been withdrawing water from the river with pumps, he did not pay visit at the site on Tuesday, said the Prothom Alo report.
When asked, he replied: “The site is quite far from here.
