BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia told a court here on Thursday that filing of ‘false’ graft cases is part of a conspiracy to make her ineligible in the next general election.
She came up with the remarks while placing her self-defence statement before the special court at
Bakshibazar in the capital in Zia Orphanage and Zia Charitable Trust corruption cases.
She alleged that the cases were filed in order to prevent her from doing politics, and to make her ineligible for the general election.
“Many ministers and ruling party men made various comments in media about me before the end of trial. Even a minister said I’ll be sent to Kashimpur jail. Isn’t it contempt of court?”
“I’m, therefore, in doubt weather I would get justice from the court,” said the BNP chief adding, “It’s their ulterior motive to annihilate me and my family from politics in a planned manner.”
The BNP chief, however, said she still expects justice from the court. “I hope the court will ensure justice as per law rising above any influence. I’m repeatedly focusing on justice as people and we’re in a serious doubt whether the justice will be ensured for me.”
