Parole for BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia is not on the table, said Standing Committee member Barrister Jamiruddin Sircar.
“We are not considering parole as an option,” said Sircar at a press conference at BNP's Naya Paltan office on Saturday (May 18).
Sircar also alleged that the government is posing ill motives and so, shifting the court at Keraniganj prison.
The party’s Standing Committee member Mirza Abbas also echoed the same and added, “Khaleda Zia’s release is in the hand of the government. If our demand for the release doesn’t meet, we will lodge strictier movement.”
“Khaleda Zia’s health condition has deteriorated. As a part of conspiracy, the ruling party is shifting Khaleda to the Keraniganj prison. She is being physically and mentally tortured and pushed towards the dire consequences,” said BNP Standing Committee member Barrister Moudud Ahmed.
BNP Vice Chairman Dr Zahid Hossain, said: "Khaleda Zia is suffering from high blood sugar levels, measuring from 14 to 16 mmol/L, and she is taking the insulin though it is not under control.”
“She has a sore tongue, which is not healing for this high blood sugar. Moreover, her left shoulder and elbow joint have become insensitive," added Hossain.
