He made the remarks at a press conference at the BNP’s central office at Nayapaltan in capital.
Rizvi Ahmed said that, the party Chairperson was now in jail for political vengeance and the government was trying to kill her in jail.
In reply to a remark made by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, Rizvi said, Ziaur Rahman and Khaleda Zia are the ‘real patriots’ of Bangladesh and
claimed that Zia took the state power at a crucial time and freed Bangladesh from the stigma of ‘bottomless basket’.
The BNP leader said, “Khaleda Zia is still struggling to restore democracy, freedom of speech and establish people’s rights. She never fled the country being frightened by dictators.”
He alleged that the government had destroyed people’s democratic rights, human rights, constitutional rights, voting rights and the spirit of the War of Liberation.
Mentioning that Khaleda was in a very serious condition in jail, he demanded her unconditional release immediately so that she could take proper treatment.
