The government didn’t contact the BNP regarding its chief Khaleda Zia, said BNP Joint Secretary General AM Mahbub Uddin Khokon.
“The government is saying many things regarding her parole but other than that they have neither contacted us [BNP], nor her family,” he said while speaking to the media on Sunday (Aug 4) at the Supreme Court.
He said that the government has kept her imprisoned on purpose due to political reasons.
“I myself worked for the parole of Khaleda Zia and her two sons Arafat Rahman and Tarique Rahman during the one/eleven [care taker government],” he said.
“She is extremely ill but the government hasn’t contacted us regarding parole,” he added.
A three-time prime minister Khaleda is already serving a 10 year time for her involvement in the in the Zia Orphanage Trust graft case and seven year term for embezzling donations made to Zia Charitable Trust.
