UNB, Dhaka :
Accusing the government of accelerating the trial process of Zia Charitable Trust and Zia Orphanage Trust graft cases filed against Khaleda Zia with an evil motive, BNP on Tuesday feared that its chairperson is unlikely to get justice in the two cases.
The party also threatened that it will take to the streets over the issue alongside its demand for holding a fresh election under a non-party administration if the ‘false and politically motivated’ cases are not withdrawn immediately.
“The two cases were filed to belittle our leader Khaleda Zia and keep her away from politics. We demand the government immediately withdraw the cases. We’ll go on a movement on this specific issue if good sense doesn’t prevail upon the government to drop the cases,” said BNP acting secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir.
Addressing a press conference at BNP’s Nayapaltan central office, he further said, “There’s no doubt that the cases were filed with a political and heinous motive. So, we alongside legal battle will continue our movement on the streets. People will give a befitting reply to the government’s all plots when people’s democratic and basic rights will be established and a congenial atmosphere ensured for fair trial.”
Fakhrul claimed that the allegations brought against Khaleda in the two cases are baseless, false and fabricated. “Khaleda Zia would have been relieved of the cases with honour had there been
justice in the country. The way the trial processes of the two cases are being conducted our hope for getting justice is fading fast.”
He said, their chairperson is carrying out the legal battle as a law-abiding citizen despite knowing that there is hardly any chance to get justice. “The chances for getting justice and remedy in the apex court are also shrinking gradually. We’re getting disappointed over the role of the court.”
The BNP leader alleged that the government got desperate to complete the trial of the two cases quickly violating all the rules, regulations and norms of the judiciary. “The two cases were shifted to a special court. We think it’s a part of the government’s conspiracy.”
