Replying to a question from an expatriate about better treatment of BNP
Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia, the prime minister said the BNP leader is
getting more facilities than other prisoners.
“A maid servant is serving jail due to willingness of Begum Zia. That means
she (maid servant) is now in prison to provide services to the BNP leader,”
she said.
The prime minister said in the history or any country, there is no such
instance of keeping an innocent maid servant in jail by a convict. “Khaleda
Zia is receiving that facilities,” the prime minister said.
Sheikh Hasina said the BNP chairperson is now undergoing treatment at
Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) Hospital and she has been
given a separate cabin there.
The prime minister said the BNP men are saying that she (Khaleda Zia) is
sick. “I said that they could wage movement for her release,” she added.
“They (BNP) could not wage any movement or build up public opinion in this
regard and they failed to do it,” she said. “But we’ve nothing to do and what
can we do to this end?” she questioned.
