Govt prolonging Khaleda's stay in jail: Fakhrul
The government is using different strategies to prevent BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia from getting bail, alleged party Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir yesterday.
Talking to reporters at the party's Nayapaltan office in the capital, he said the government is trying to keep Khaleda away from the next election by prolonging her imprisonment.
On February 8, a Dhaka court jailed Khaleda for five years in the Zia Charitable Trust graft case.
“Khaleda was supposed to get bail on the very day of the judgment. There is no reason why she did not get bail,” he added.
Referring to the meeting with Gono Forum President Dr Kamal Hossain, Fakhrul said, “He compassionately heard BNP's plea and expressed dissatisfaction over the lower court verdict in such a case. “...he assured us of providing legal assistance after studying the text of the verdict,” he added.
