‘Culture of impunity’ introduced: Khaleda

BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia today again expressed her doubt whether she would get justice in connection with Zia Orphanage Trust graft case.

“My concern is the scope and atmosphere of getting justice have totally been destroyed disgustingly. The culture of impunity has also been introduced instead of justice,” Khaleda came up with the remarks while delivering her self-defence statement before a court in Bakshibazar area of Dhaka this noon.

Referring to the resignation of Justice Surendra Kumar Sinha, Khaleda Zia said, He (Sinha) has been “made sick in a planned way” and “forced to quit” from his post.

“Under this circumstance, I have to appear before the court with confusion, whether I would get justice,” the former prime minister said in her statement.

Khaleda said the government has lodged at least 36 cases against her based on false and baseless allegations in a bid to isolate her from the people.

“All cases are politically motivated, fabricated and baseless. It has been done only to harass me and to tarnish my dignity before the people,” Khaleda said.
