Khaleda Zia`s daughter-in-law Sharmila Rahman and granddaughter Zahia Rahman are seen at the entrance of the old jailhouse on Dhaka`s Nazimuddin Road.Relatives of BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia have met her at the prison on Saturday.
Her sister Selima Islam, deceased son Arafat Rahman Coco’s wife Sharmila Rahman, granddaughter Zahia Rahman were among the five relatives who met her at the old jailhouse on Nazimuddin Road.
A three-time prime minister Khaleda is serving a five-year prison term since Feb 8, when a Dhaka court convicted her of embezzling foreign donations made to the Zia Orphanage Trust.
The BNP, however, describes the charges against the party chief as a politically motivated attempt to shut her out of the upcoming national election.
