BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia has greeted the country’s people and wished them ‘Eid Mubarak’ from jail on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr, reports UNB.
“Our chairperson through those who met her in jail has greeted people on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr.
Our acting chairman Tarique Rahman and secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir also greeted people,” said BNP senior joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi on Friday.
Speaking at a press conference at BNP’s Nayapaltan central office, he also said Khaleda and Tarique sought blessings from people.
Rizvi said though Eid is a happy occasion, many BNP leaders and activists cannot go to their homes, villages and family members due to repressive acts and harassment by police.
“We’re going to celebrate Eid with a heavy heart as our chairperson has been kept in jail in a false and fabricated case.
Though she got bail from the apex court, she was neither released nor taken to a hospital of her choice to receive treatment,” he said.
The BNP leader alleged that the government obstructed Khaleda’s release from jail by interfering in the judiciary.
