DHAKA: Urging all to unify against the government, BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said party chairperson Khaleda Zia will be freed from jail through intensified movement.

He made the remarks at a human chain demanding the release of Khaleda Zia in front of BNP central office in Naya paltan of Dhaka on Wednesday (April 25).

The senior BNP leader said, “Let us come all together forming a mass movement to release Khaleda Zia from jail and to give back countrymen their voting rights. We are urging people of all walks of life to join the movement as there is no alternative to it.”

Fakhrul also claimed that the ruling government imprisoned Khaleda Zia to seize democracy and establish one-party rule in the country. 

“Khaleda Zia is being mentally tortured in the abandoned prison. Even her family members, doctors are not being allowed to meet with her. But this can not go on. We must free her before that government can get away with another Jan-5-like election”, Fakhrul added.
