Khaleda Zia’s release in govt’s hand: Moudud
Senior BNP leader Moudud Ahmed yesterday said their party chairperson Khaleda Zia will never be freed from jail without the "will" of the government, as the judiciary is now not 'independent'.
"Us lawyers are trying to free Khaleda Zia through legal process. But after the Pirojpur court incident, no one should have minimum doubt that she'll never be released on bail without the government's will," he said while speaking in a discussion at the Dhaka Reporters' Unity.
Swadhinta Forum, a pro-BNP platform, arranged the programme demanding Khaleda Zia's release.
In his speech, Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal (JSD-Rob) President ASM Abdur Rob said the government has annihilated the judiciary to hang on to power.
He said by taking action against the Pirojpur judge, the government sent out a message to other judges of facing the same fate if they go against it.
