BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Sunday hoped that the High Court will deliver the ‘right’ order in the bail petition filed by the party Chairperson Khaleda Zia demonstrating the independence of judiciary.
“We believe the judiciary will protect its independence by delivering the true verdict as per the case merit as Khaleda Zia has been kept in jail unlawfully,” he said this at a human-chain programme in front of the Jatiya Press Club in the morning.
Jatiyatabadi Sramik Dal arranged the programme demanding the release its Chairperson and protesting the soaring prices of daily essentials.
The BNP leader further said, “We have gone to the Supreme Court and the High Court repeatedly for Khaleda’s bail to release her. But, she has been deprived of that right. So, we believe people are not getting justice.”
“She (Khaleda) was convicted as per the country’s constitution. “The bail is her right, but she has been deprived of that right,” he said. Fakhrul bemoaned that the government is going to celebrate the ‘Mujib Year’ amid festivity and spending huge money keeping Khaleda Zia in jail and implicating 35 lakhs people in ‘false’ cases.
He condemned the police attack on a procession of BNP, led by its Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi, in the city’s Mirpur area on Saturday. “Taking out processions and holding rallies are our rights. We’ve established such country that we’re not allowed to hold rallies.”
