BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Friday warned the government of facing a strong movement in case of failure to free its ailing Chairperson Khaleda Zia and other innocent prisoners immediately.
“We’ve taken a vow to intensify our movement to free our leader Khaleda Zia and our all other arrested leaders and activists. We’ll surely be able to wage the movement,” Mirza Alamgir said.
He made the remarks while talking to reporters after placing a wreath at
BNP founder Ziaur Rahman’s grave. Party Joint Secretary General Habibun Nabi Khan Sohel, who was recently released from jail, was with him.
He urged the government to free Khaleda Zia and all other innocent prisoners immediately withdrawing the false cases filed against them to avert the street agitation.
Describing the current Parliament as illegal, the BNP Secretary General called upon the government to hold a fresh election under a neutral government to have a new Parliament with people’s mandate. “Or else, the country’s people will never forgive you.”
Mirza Alamgir alleged that though their Chairperson Khaleda Zia is seriously ill, she is not getting necessary treatment at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU).
“She has been kept in jail unfairly for over 18 months in false cases. She is now seriously sick, but doesn’t get proper treatment.”
On February 8, 2018, BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia was sent to jail as she was convicted in Zia Orphanage Trust graft case. She was convicted in Zia Charitable Trust graft case also.
She has been undergoing treatment at the BSMMU since April 1 this year.
