A Dhaka court has set September 13 for hearing on charge framing in two cases, one for observing fake birthday on National Mourning Day and another for stigmatising the War of Liberation, lodged against BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia, reports BSS.
Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Asaduzzaman Noor reset the date on Wednesday, allowing a time plea of the defence.
Journalist Gazi Jahirul Islam lodged the fake birthday case against Khaleda on August 30, 2016.
According to the complainant, Khaleda from 1996 was celebrating her fake birthday on August 15, the day when Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was martyred along with most of his family members.
