Khaleda has no way to get release sans legal procedures: Quader

Awami League (AL) general secretary Obaidul Quader said on Monday BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia has no other way to get release from jail without facing the court procedures, reports BSS.

He came up with the remark while talking to reporters after attending a function at a city hotel.

Referring to BNP leaders' allegation that the government has a strategy to confine Khaleda to jail until the next parliamentary polls, Quader said the government has not sent Khaleda to jail. She (Khaleda) has been imprisoned by the court verdict in the Orphanage Trust graft case, he added.

About Khaleda's treatment, the minister said physicians of medical board are providing all-out treatment to Khaleda and there is no negligence in this regard.

He alleged that BNP leaders are doing politics over the matter.
