Staff Reporter :
BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Friday accused the government of hatching conspiracy to kill Khaleda Zia in jail.
“The government is out to kill our party chief Khaleda Zia detaining her illegally in fabricated cases even after she secured bail in many cases. The government knows that their political existence will be in crisis if she (Khaleda) is freed,” he said this at press conference at the party’s Nayapaltan central office.
The BNP leader said Khaleda Zia’s family members met her in jail on Thursday and they said that her left hand and foot have become numb and she is having difficulty in moving.
In these circumstances, the party demanded her better treatment at any specialised private hospital.
The BNP secretary general said that they had stated about one specialised hospital for Khaleda’s proper treatment, though there were many other specialised hospitals in the country.
“Khaleda Zia and the party did not want her treatment at the government hospital as the incumbent government cannot be trusted,” Fakhrul said.
BNP standing committee members Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain, Abdul Moyeen Khan, Nazrul Islam Khan and Amir Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury, vice chairman Nitai Roy Chowdhury, Khaleda Zia’s adviser Ataur Rahman Dhali, senior joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi, organising secretary Syed Emran Saleh Prince and publicity affairs secretary Shahiduddin Chowdhury Annie, among others, were present.
Meanwhile, lawyers of Khaleda Zia have demanded her admission to any hospital within 24 hours because of her serious illness.
They expressed the urgency after meeting Khaleda Zia in the jail on Friday evening.
BNP Standing Committee member Barrister Jamiruddin Sircar, Khaleda Zia’s lawyer AJ Mohammad Ali, Abdur Rezzak Khan and Zainul Abedin were in the team.
The lawyers said that Khaleda Zia was seriously ill, her emergency treatment is urgently needed.
Advocate Zainul Abedin, after coming out from the prison, said, “Khaleda Zia can not move her left hand and foot, her foot has swollen, she has problem in eyes. So, she needs necessary emergency medical treatment in such a condition.”
