BNP has no scope for doing politics over Khaleda's illness: Hanif

KUSHTIA, Sept 10 (BSS): Awami League (AL) joint general secretary Mahbubul Alam Hanif said on Monday there is no scope for BNP to do politics over the illness of Khaleda Zia.

He made the comments while talking to journalists before joining a seminar at Kushtia municipality auditorium.

Hanif said treatment of Khaleda, who is a prisoner, will be held as per the jail code.

The AL leader said on the basis of petition of BNP leaders, the home minister asked the authorities concerned to provide all-out treatment to the party chairperson. So there is now no scope of doing politics over Khaleda'a illness, he added.

Hanif said because of BNP's political bankruptcy, they are politicising Khaleda's physical illness.

Later, the AL joint general secretary attended a seminar chaired by Islamic University, Kushtia pro-vice chancellor Prof Shahinur Rahman.

Islamic University vice-chancellor Prof Dr Md Harun-Ur-Rashid Askari attended it as the chief discussant.
