I distrust Ershad and his party for two reasons:
- I think he was involved in removing Zia
- his 7% vote bloc helped AL come to power in last election
I am not sure about this as I do not have all information first hand, its just a hunch looking at the broad picture. All I can say is that we need to remove pro-Indians from politics, by using ballot box.
In any case, he is in his 80's and this election is probably going to be his last. Once he is gone, his party will also be gone.
Unlike pro-Indians who believe in political killings and removal of opponents from the face of the earth, I urge all pro-Bangladesh people to believe in democracy and fight with ballot box and never engage in political killings. Once the pro-Bangladesh crowd can adopt this policy and start practicing it, the public will then decide who is better for their future, killers or people who believe in democracy.
