Moudud accuses govt of dillydallying with Khaleda’s verdict copy
BNP Standing Committee Member Moudud Ahmed today accused the government of buying time to issue the certified copy of the graft verdict against BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia.
“Verdict against Khaleda Zia was pronounced on February 8. But, we did not get the certified copy yet. The government is resorting to various ploy to keep Khaleda in jail as long as they can,” Moudud, also a former law minister, said.
He came up with the allegation while addressing a discussion organised by Jatiyatabadi Sangskritik Dal at the National Press Club in Dhaka this noon. "We will move to the high court to file an appeal and Khaleda's bail soon after getting the certified copy of the verdict."
Moudud alleged that the government has created a political instability in the country by sending Khaleda to jail; and also shut all the doors to reach a political understanding ahead of the next general election.
"Freeing Khaleda Zia from jail and forcing the ruling quarter to take proper steps for arranging a credible election are our main challenges," he said.
The BNP leader said the national general election cannot be held in a free and fair manner under a political government. “People will not allow anyone to hold the next general election keeping Khaleda Zia and BNP out of the electoral process,” he said.
Moudud said his party will continue movement on the streets to free Khaleda Zia from jail and will be taking preparations to take part in the next general election.
