Relatives meet the BNP Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia in jail on Tuesday.
Khaleda Zia’s elder sister Selima Islam, nephews Ovik Iskander and Dr. Muhammad Mamun, niece Baby Islam and Tarique Rahman’s wife Dr. Jubaida Rahman’s elder sister Shahina Zaman Khan met her. The relatives went to the BNP chief’s cell in the old central jail on the Nazimuddin Road at 4:30pm and stayed with her around for one hour.
The relatives met her in such a time when the party expressed serious anxiety about the party chief’s health condition.
But the relatives have not said anything to the journalists after coming out of the jail.
The party leaders and the relatives could not meet Khaleda Zia as she was too sick to walk to meet them.
The relatives met her yesterday after two weeks. Some of her relatives met the former Prime Minister in jail on April 14.
