BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Monday said that it is up to their party chairperson Khaleda Zia and her family whether she will apply for parole or not.
“We didn’t have any conversation with her (Khaleda) over parole as it’s not an issue of our party. It’s a matter completely related to Khaleda Zia and her family. So, we didn’t talk to her over the matter,” he said.
Fakrul came up with the remark while replying questions by journalists at the BNP founder Ziaur Rahman’s grave premises.
Earlier, BNP secretary general together with the leaders of the newly formed convening committee of Jatiyatabadi Ulema Dal placed wreaths at Zia’s grave paying homage to him.
Fakhrul along with two other party leaders on Sunday met Khaleda at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU).
After meeting, Fakhrul told reporters that their chairperson’s health condition has not improved that much at BSMMU over the last two weeks as she still cannot properly eat and bend her legs. “There’s no improvement in her left hand as she can’t work with it, and she has been going through such a situation.”
He said it is imperative to ensure proper treatment to their chairperson by the doctors of specialised hospitals as per her choice.
The BNP chairperson has been in jail since a special court convicted her in Zia Orphanage Trust graft case on February 8 last year.
Khaleda was shifted to BSMMU from Old Dhaka Central Jail on April 1 for her better medical treatment.
