Court Correspondent :
BNP Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia is very sick and her physicians are not giving her proper treatment, Secretary General of BNP Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said on Tuesday.
“She (Khaleda) told me she is very sick,” Fakhrul told reporters after Tuesday’s hearing in Niko graft case and said that, “She vomited before appearing in the court yesterday (Tuesday).”
“She could not hold her head straight during the hearing. She said, her whole body was aching,” said Fakhrul, who was beside Khaleda Zia during the hearing.
He expressed concern that physicians of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) are not giving her proper treatment and drew the government’s attention to the matter.
Khaleda Zia was taken to the makeshift court inside Old Dhaka Central Jail in
a wheelchair around 12:40 pm for hearing on charge framing in the Niko graft case.
During the hearing, Fakhrul sat beside Khaleda Zia in a chair and was seen talking to his leader several times.
Apart from Fakhrul, Khaleda Zia also spoke to lawyers AZ Mohammad Ali and Masud Ahmed Talukder after the session of the court ended.
The court granted a time petition which was filed for BNP Standing Committee Member Moudud Ahmed, an accused in the case, as he was not present.
However, it rejected a petition which was filed by the defence for getting the certified copies of the case.
Judge Sheikh Hafizur Rahman of the Special Judge Court-9 said, the court has already given an order in this regard that the defence had mistaken in the application.
Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) Public Prosecutor Mosharraf Hossain Kajol accused the defence of delaying the hearing citing lack of documents. “The defence can participate in the hearing on charge framing with the documents they have.”
Later, the court fixed April 1 for the next hearing on charge framing in the Niko graft case.
