Sunday, 10 August 2008
Commerce and Education Adviser Hossain Zillur Saturday said that the release of former Prime Minister and BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia was at the final stage, reports UNB.
"I can tell you her release is at the final stage," he told journalists after a function in the city.
Zillur who is one of the government negotiators with political parties said, "We are very much concerned about this matter and we hope the events will proceed faster after her release."
Khaleda Zia was arrested on September 3 last year in connection with GATCO graft case. Later, several other cases were filed against her.
Zillur and other Advisers have been telling for some time that Khaleda Zia would be released but no tangible movement was in sight.
Awami League (AL) president and ex-Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was released on interim bail on June 11 to facilitate her treatment in the United States (USA).
In reply to a question, the adviser said the caretaker government would sit for the second round of dialogue with the AL to discuss issues concerning the general elections slated for December.
"We will continue our endeavours through formal and informal dialogues to reach logical conclusions," Zillur said.
