BNP to act if govt ignores Khaleda's notice
Tuesday, 28 April 2009
The BNP said Monday it would take further legal action if the government does not reply to the notice issued by the party chief Khaleda Zia over her vacating Dhaka Cantonment house, reports bdnews24.com.
Law Minister Shafiq Ahmed told reporters just hours before that the government would not respond to the notice, and the law would take its own course if Khaleda does not vacate the house within the given deadline.
Khaleda responded on April 23 to the government's notice to vacate her residence with a legal notice of her own. Khaleda's lawyer Mahbubuddin Khokan sent the notice through courier service and registered post giving the government five days to withdraw its notice.
The directorate of military lands and cantonments had earlier served a notice on Khaleda on April 20, asking the opposition leader to leave the Moinul Road mansion within 15 days.
BNP leader Moudud Ahmed said they would go ahead with the issue after the party makes a decision in case of a no response from the relevant authorities.
He added that the BNP would also press on with street protests.
