Party (Japan) Chairman Hussein Muhammad Ershad said, "We will soon resign from the cabinet. Because of the ministry we have faced criticism. The image of our party has been tarnished by the people of the country.
He said this while talking to journalists at Rangpur Circuit House at Rangpur from Dhaka on a three-day visit.
Ershad said, "We are in the opposition. We have also been given three ministers. It is not right to take this ministry. After taking the ministry, we had to recite our criticisms to the countrymen. We have lost our reputation to the people of the country. So do not want such a minister. Soon we decided to resign from the cabinet.
