Leader of the Opposition in parliament Raushon Ershad on Saturday bemoaned that none from the Jatiya Party inquired about her condition during her long stay at a hospital in Thailand.

Speaking at a views exchange meeting with party leaders and activists at a hotel in Bangladesh capital Dhaka, she also said that Jatiya Party had been in a mess following the death of its founder and her husband HM Ershad.

‘I had been under treatment for over long six months at a hospital in Thailand. No one from the party inquired about me. But I inquired about all,’ the opposition leader said.

She, however, said that two, who were expelled from the party, tried to know her health condition and arranged different prayer sessions at mosques and other worship places seeking her recovery.

Raushon, also the chief patron of the Jatiya Party, said that Jatiya Party could have been in a different position had HM Ershad remained alive.

She said that it was necessary to bring back those who have been left out of the Jatiya Party or left the party at different times. ‘Otherwise, we will fall far behind.’

Besides, the Jatiya Party leader said that the new generation needed to be inducted into the party to make it as stronger as Awami League and BNP. ‘Or else, we won’t be able to survive in politics.’

She also said that the organizational strength of the Jatiya Party will have to be enhanced with the united efforts of all its leaders and activists.

Raushon said that she could not hold back her tears seeing so many people there at the airport to greet her as she returned home.

On June 27, Raushon returned home from Bangkok, the capital city of Thailand, after nearly seven and a half months of stay there for medical treatment.

She also joined the Parliament session on Thursday.

Her son Rahgir Al Mahi Saad Ershad, a JP lawmaker from Rangpur-3, said that his mother was now fine, but very weak.

‘She has problems in her legs and still can’t walk properly. It may take time for her to gain back her strength. She needs more physiotherapy,’ he said.

Saad said that Raushon would also go to Bangkok for follow-up treatment on July 4.

On November 5, 2022, Raushon was flown to Thailand by an air ambulance as her health condition turned critical.

Earlier, Raushon Ershad, 78, underwent treatment at the Combined Military Hospital as she fell ill seriously due to old age complications.
