UNB, Dhaka :
BNP on Wednesday termed ‘inhuman and vindictive’ Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s recent comment that Khaleda Zia is ‘faking illness’ in jail to avoid appearance in court.
Speaking at a press conference at the party’s Nayapaltan central office, BNP senior joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi also alleged that the Election Commission (EC) is ignoring BNP’s demand for deployment of army in three city polls only to manipulate the results in
favour of the government.
“At the Awami League executive committee meeting, the Prime Minister said Khaleda Zia is faking her illness. Her comment is inhuman which exposes her extreme political vengeance,” he said.
The BNP leader said, the jail authorities on Tuesday said it is not possible to produce her before the court as she is seriously ill.
“Government physicians and our leaders’ personal ones are also saying Khaleda Zia is sick. So, how does Sheikh Hasina mock with our leader’s illness,” he said.
