According to NationMaster.com Encyclopedia, the Jatiya Party (National Party),
was founded by the military dictator Hossain Mohammad Ershad. Today the party is split into three factions, Jatiya Party (Ershad), Jatiya Party (Naziur) and Jatiya Party (Manju). Currently the Jatiya Party (Ershad) is the fourth largest party in Parliament (2005).
The United News of Bangladesh Limited reported that in April 2005, the Jatiya Party (Naziur) held a party meeting at the White Palace in Dhanmondi (6 Apr. 2005). However, references to a Dhanmondi branch of either of the three factions of the Jatiya Party could not be found among the sources consulted by the Research Directorate.
This Response was prepared after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the Research Directorate within time constraints. This Response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim for refugee protection. Please find below the list of additional sources consulted in researching this Information Request.
