A Dhaka court has set July 21 for indictment hearing for two cases, one for observing fake birthday on National Mourning Day and another for stigmatising the War of Liberation, filed against BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia, reports BSS.
Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Asaduzzaman Noor reset the date on Thursday, allowing a time plea of the defence.
Khaleda Zia's counsel Advocate Masud Ahmed Talukder filed the time plea, saying his client could not appear before the court due to illness.
Journalist Gazi Jahirul Islam lodged the fake birthday case against Khaleda
on August 30, 2016.
Jananetri Parishad President AB Siddiqui filed another case on November 3, 2016, against Khaleda Zia and her late husband Ziaur Rahman for stigmatising the War of Liberation by rehabilitating anti-Liberation War elements.
