Khaleda won't get justice, fears Nazrul

BNP senior leader Nazrul Islam Khan yesterday voiced doubts that the party's Chairperson Khaleda Zia will not get justice in the Zia Charitable Trust graft case, as the verdict was written "before completion of the trial process".

“Khaleda Zia has been in jail in a fabricated case. The verdict in another case will be given on October 29. Why will it be pronounced on October 29 since the judgement was written long ago?” he said.

Speaking at a discussion, the BNP leader said the judge who acquitted Tarique Rahman had said he was given a written verdict, while former chief justice SK Sinha narrated how pressure was created on him to change his verdict. “After knowing these things, it's a kind of stupidity to expect justice.”

Doctors' Association of Bangladesh (DAB) arranged the programme at Jatiya Press Club, marking the 11th death anniversary of its former president Prof MA Hadi.
