Indictment hearing in Khaleda’s religious incitement case Jan 2
DHAKA, Dec 2, 2019 (BSS) – A court here today set January 2 to hold
hearing on charge framing in a case lodged against BNP chairperson Begum
Khaleda Zia over allegedly making religious inciting comment and trying to
create conflict among people of different classes.
Today was fixed for holding hearing on the matter, but Dhaka
Metropolitan Magistrate Asaduzzaman Nur reset the date, allowing a time plea
of the defence.
Earlier on July 29, Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Ziaur Rahman
transferred the case from his court as it got ready to start the trial.
Jananetri Parishad president AB Siddiqui filed the case against Khaleda
for allegedly making those religious inciting comments at a function at
capital’s Engineers Institution on October 14, 2014.
