A court in the city on Wednesday set December 20 for holding a hearing on charge framing in two cases, one for observing fake birthday on National Mourning Day and another for stigmatizing the War of Liberation, lodged against BNP chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia, reports UNB.
Wednesday was fixed for holding the indictment hearings in the two cases, but Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Sultan Sohagh Uddin reset the date, allowing a time plea of the defence.
Journalist Gazi Jahirul Islam lodged the fake birthday case against Khaleda on August 30, 2016.
The complainant also submitted copies of different newspaper reports on Khaleda's birthday, copies of her passport, marriage certificate and mark sheets, which indicates August 15 is not her birthday in anyway.
