Khaleda being deprived of due treatment: Fakhrul

Accusing Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina of making 'discourteous' remarks about ailing opposition leader Khaleda Zia, BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Wednesday said the government is depriving her of the treatment she deserves, reports UNB.
"It's unfortunate for the nation that such an unelected illegal prime minister is there in the office. She (PM) does not even have the minimum political etiquette. We can't even imagine the statements she made on Tuesday about Begum Khaleda Zia. It's totally devoid of political etiquette," he said.
Speaking at a doa mahfil, the BNP leader also said the prime minister has been making such comments against her arch-rival Khaleda out of political vengeance. "She is always zealous of our leader Khaleda Zia and she can't tolerate her."
The doa mahfil was held at the party's central office at Naya Palton arranged by Jatiyatabadi Jubo Dal seeking divine blessings for the speedy recovery of Khaleda and the organisation's general secretary Abdul Monayem Munna.
Earlier on Tuesday, Hasina alleged that BNP is staging a drama over sending Khaleda abroad for treatment.
She also said Khaleda goes to the hospital wearing makeup and well -dressed. "On the other hand, her doctor reports that her condition is very bad and her liver has been seriously damaged. "Everyone knows what (drink/food) causes the liver to rot quickly." Fakhrul said the country's people do not like such indecent and indecorous comments about Khaleda.
Recalling Khaleda's long struggle and sacrifices for democracy, the BNP leader said she restored democracy by ousting the autocratic ruler in 1990.
