Trial relocation move to keep Khaleda away from politics

Denouncing the relocation of trial of its chairperson’s graft cases to Alia Madrasah makeshift court, BNP on Thursday alleged that the government has taken the move in a bid to harass Khaleda Zia and keep her away from politics. "The Anti Corruption Commission has filed graft cases against our leader Khaleda Zia on false, baseless and fabricated charges only to undermine her. The trial of the graft cases being held at the District and Sessions Judge court have been shifted to a makeshift court at Dhaka Alia Madrasah ground breaking the rules for speedy trial," said BNP acting secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir.
Fakhrul was addressing a press briefing at BNP’s Nayapaltan central office in the city. He further said, "We think it has been done with an ill-motive as per the government’s pre-conceived plan to harass Khaleda Zia and keep her away from politics," according to UNB.
