Dr Kamal wants Khaleda to be freed before Eid

Ganoforum President Dr Kamal Hossain and its general secretary Reza Kibria on Sunday demanded the release of BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia and other political prisoners before the Eid-ul-Fitr, reports UNB.

In a message on the occasion of Eid, they said they demand that former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia and all other political prisoners be freed before the festival.

The Ganoforum leaders also urged the government to withdraw all the 'false' cases and stop repression by police so that all can celebrate the Eid with their family members.

They greeted the country's people on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr.

"The people of all communities in the country enjoy the Eid with their limited ability. This is our tradition and it'll remain in the future as well," the Gonoforum leaders said.

Eid-ul-Fitr, the biggest religious festival of the Muslims, will be celebrated in the country either on June 5 or June 6 subject to Shawwal moon sighting.
