Jatiyo Party Chairman and newly-elected member of parliament from Rangpur-3 constituency GM Quader on Wednesday said his party was on the opposition bench in the last parliament and wants to play the same role again.

"The feeling of coming to the parliament is always good," he said while talking to reporters after taking oath as a newly-elected MP.

Replying to a query, GM Quader said, "I don't know exactly what the rule is. But we were on the opposition bench, and we want to play the same role again. We belong to a public welfare-oriented party and we want to do what is good for the people."

Responding to a question about winning fewer seats in the parliament by the party this time, he said things do not remain the same all the time.

"This election was not the right election. In some cases it was good. But in most cases, our activists have been harassed in various ways and polling booths were captured," the Jatiyo Party leader said.

GM Quader also said the election did not reflect his party's popularity or its base with the people.

The Jatiyo Party secured only 11 seats in the general elections held on 7 January compared to 23 bagged in the 2018 election
