Jatiya Party [JP] chairman H M Ershad on Saturday [21 September] expressed his resentment at US 'interference' in Bangladesh's national elections and said that Bangladeshis were educated enough to deal with domestic politics and polls. 'I had only suspended the constitution,' Ershad said at the 35th founding anniversary of Bangladesh Gram Dactar Samity (village doctors' association) at Mahanagar Natyamancha in the capital.

But his widow, Khaleda, who now leads her husband's political organization, has been unable to build a strong political alternative for Bangladeshi voters. She is under constant challenge from another political heir with a largely personal following, Sheik Hasina Wazed, the daughter of Bangladesh's first government leader, Sheik Mujibur Rahman, and head of his Awami League. Sheik Mujib was killed in 1975. Sheik Hasina, Mrs. Zia and other opposition leaders, whose main political activities are calling general strikes and holding rallies to denounce the Government, are being encouraged by President [H. M. Ershad] to agree to take part in a new round of parliamentary elections. The major opposition parties resisted similar entreaties before the last elections in 1986, but there is a genuine chance that one or both major parties will take part this time.
