In yet another dramatic development, Opposition Chief Whip Mashiur Rahman Ranga has sought to withdraw the letter the JP Parliamentary Party sent to the Speaker for removal of Raushan Ershad as the leader of the opposition.
Ranga, who has recently been relieved of all Jatiya Party posts for "breaching the party discipline", yesterday submitted a letter to Speaker Shirin Sharmin Chaudhury at her Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban office in this regard.
He told The Daily Star, "I have informed the Speaker that I want to withdraw the letter of JP Parliamentary Party because the way it was sent was not right."
Raushan's Political Secretary Golam Moshi was with Ranga when he met the Speaker.
Asked, Ranga said, "The Speaker told me she will decide after considering the legal aspects and going through the party's charter."
The Daily Star has obtained a copy of the letter.
In the letter, Ranga said he convened a JP Parliamentary Party meeting on September 1 on instructions of Chairman GM Quader. Removing the opposition leader was not on the agenda of the meeting. Read More...
