Jatiya Party Presidium member Khaled Akhtar, Ershad’s younger brother Hossain Morshed and Morshed’s wife Rokhsana Khan Morshed are accompanying the Jatiya Party chief on the trip. Jatiya Party activists brought Ershad to the ground floor of his home in a wheelchair. According to various media reports, Ershad had been ‘unable to recognise anyone’ before his departure for Singapore. Ershad had previously travelled to Singapore on Dec 10 because of complications in his blood haemoglobin level. The Jatiya Party chief allegedly stepped down from the race for the Dhaka-17 seat due to his illness.
