GM Quader likely to float new party

Jatiya Party presidium is set to meet on November 5 at Diploma Engineers' Institution where a decision about joining the alliance will be taken, party sources said.

"If the meeting decides to join the alliance, I will immediately quit Jatiya Party and form a new party," said Quader, a lawmaker of now dissolved parliament and brother of Ershad.

He admitted that he did not receive invitation for the presidium meeting. "I don't know anything about the meeting nor do I have contact with the party chairman," Quader told UNB.
