		Ershad resigned as Army Chief of Staff and retired from military service in preparation for the presidential elections scheduled for October.
		Although Ershad's government claimed a turnout of more than 50%, opposition leaders and much of the foreign press estimated a far lower percentage and alleged voting irregularities.
		However, opposition to Ershad's rule began to regain momentum, escalating by the end of 1990 in frequent general strikes, increased campus protests, public rallies, and a general disintegration of law and order.

	Politicians and their 'Utopian' ideas!
		General [Retd] Hussain Mohammed Ershad, the army general-turned-politician, whose stories of autocratic rule for long nine years still make rounds in the corridors of society with lot of interest, has indeed come up with a queer idea recently which I would unhesitatingly call anything but 'utopian', to say the least.
		General Ershad's idea, not entirely a new or original one by any means as I have already mentioned above, consists of dividing the country into eight provinces with the five existing divisions and addition of greater Rangpur [his home district], Comilla and greater Mymensingh [his 'shoshurbari' or in-law's home district] along with the others.
		General Ershad and his cohorts may therefore seriously think of a different game-plan instead of confusing the countrymen with their absurd theories of creating eight provinces.

		Hussain Mohammed Ershad Like his predecessors, Ershad dissolved parliament, declared martial law, assumed the position of CMLA, suspended the constitution, and banned political activity.
		Ershad reaffirmed Bangladesh's moderate, nonaligned foreign policy and said he aimed to cleanse the country of corruption, revitalize the economy through increased private sector activity, decentralize and streamline the bureaucracy, reform the legal system, and lay the foundation for a return to democratic institutions.
		The Ershad government has sought to increase industrial growth by removing barriers to private sector participation in economic development, providing incentives to domestic and foreign private investors, and denationalizing public sector industrial units and banks.

	GN Online: Ershad surrenders to serve jail term
		Former Bangladesh President Hussain Mohammed Ershad yesterday turned himself in to begin a five-year jail term at Dhaka Central Jail for corruption as violence erupted, fuelled by angry supporters from Ershad's Jatiya Party who clashed with riot police around Dhaka Central Jail.
		Ershad, who went to jail after he stepped down from power in the face of mass upsurge on December 6, 1990, was convicted in a number of corruption cases filed between 1990-93.
		In 1993 the trial court had sentenced Ershad to seven years in prison for illegally possessing 3,150 square metres of state-owned land in a business district of the capital while he was the country's military dictator.

	Love affair could cost Ershad his party
		Hussain Mohammed Ershad, who is out on bail, is faced with a revolt by party members and massive media pressure to end a 14-year relationship with a married woman that caused his wife of 40 years to walk out last month.
		Ershad had obviously not anticipated public disapproval of his plan to marry Zeenat, the wife of a former party associate, now an Opposition member.
		The triumvirate though is not budging from a four-point demand for resolving the present party crisis: Ershad's resignation as party chairman, immediate convening of the JP council, resignation of secretary general Manju from the Cabinet and an assurance from Ershad that he will not talk about his affairs.

		Key to this change in policy was the denationalization of about half of the public sector's jute looms, one-third of its cotton textile looms, a number of other industrial units, and several banks.

		Ali focuses on one aspect of Hussain's passion, the grief of his sister Zainab, to widen the dimensions of his own feelings of grief for his mother.

		Frankly speaking, of late, I have tried my best to figure out as to why General Ershad is so keen and serious these days propagating his latest theory of ‘Eight Provinces’, but have miserably failed to come up with a satisfactory answer so far.
		Ershad are all devoid of reasoning and logic.
		As a matter of fact, there will be more scope for corruption with more people loitering around for ‘loaves and fishes’ in villages and small towns and more government offices springing up to function as the breeding ground of unabated corruption in absence of a close and watchful eyes of the metropolis.

		Bangladesh may be scoring a first in recorded human history by swearing in a woman prime minister and inducting another woman as the leader of the opposition.
		Although both of these women had the courage to challenge a military ruler, Gen. Mohammed Ershad, and launch successful political campaigns, a word of caution needs to be added about their respective electoral victories, and what they reveal about the nascent democratic process in Bangladesh.
		In the same vein, it would be a mistake to concentrate on Ershad's transgressions, rather than dealing with the pressing economic questions which necessitated the change in the first place.
