Mirza Fakhrul said, “The government is working with BAKSHAL concept to be sure that no opposition party exists.”
Chairperson Khaleda Zia has been kept in jail by the government out of its political vengeance. “She’s not getting bail, though she deserves it.”
Fakhrul said that Khaleda had been repeatedly refused bail although she deserved it. As such the BNP has designed programmes to build contacts with the people for her release.
Khaleda Zia was sent to jail after a special court convicted her in Zia Orphanage Trust graft case on February 8, 2018.
She has been receiving treatment at BSMMU since April 1.
