Khaleda Zia Mukti Parishad formed

---

Pro-Delwar BNP leader Major (retd) Akhteruzzaman said Saturday that he had been nominated convener of 'Khaleda Zia Mukti Parishad' (Committee on Khaleda Zia's Freedom).
The group will work to get party chief Khaleda Zia out of jail, Akhteruzzaman told the bdnews24.com.
The former lawmaker said his colleagues suspected that the government was working to implement a 'Minus Khaleda' state of affairs.
He said the group would do everything that the law permitted to get Khaleda out of prison. The organisation will also form committees at ward, union, upazila and district levels.
Akhteruzzaman said the group would announce a 14-point manifesto at a press conference today (Sunday).
He said that the group's prime objective was to keep grassroots level party leaders and activists united on the issue of freeing Khaleda Zia from her incarceration.
Akhteruzzaman added that the organisation's activities would come to a close once Khaleda was released.
"We will run an 11-point programme to free our leader. We will work to our objective by peaceful means."
