BSS, Narail :
A Narail court yesterday dismissed a bail plea for BNP Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia in a case lodged for making derogatory remarks about the number of Freedom Fighters and defaming Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
“Senior judicial magistrate Nayan Boral passed the order after holding hearing on the matter,” counsel for the complainant advocate Abdus Salam Khan told BSS. A leader of the local Awami League and Freedom Fighter’s son Raihan Faruki Imam filed the case against the BNP chief on December 24, 2015, as she made the derogatory remarks at a rally on December 21 in Dhaka. Another defamation suit was filed against her over the same remarks in Narail on December 29, 2015.
