BNP wants Khaleda\\\'s accounts reopened

BNP has urged the government to allow Khaleda Zia to operate her bank accounts. The BNP chief’s eight bank accounts were frozen by the National Board of Revenue (NBR) at the end of 2007, during the last caretaker regime. “Begum Khaleda Zia was arrested on false charges when the illegal government snatched power in 2007,” BNP Standing Committee member Nazrul Islam Khan said on Tuesday. “They froze all her accounts. This goes against the basic rights of a citizen.” Khan told a media briefing at the party’s Naya Paltan headquarters. He claimed that the BNP chairperson is a victim of Bangladesh’s vengeful politics, according to bdnews24.com.
