The Supreme Court yesterday acquitted BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia, her son, BNP acting chairman Tarique Rahman, and four others of corruption charges in the Zia Orphanage Trust case.
Just six months ago, the tables were completely turned. Khaleda was under house arrest, while her party was desperately appealing for her to be allowed to travel for medical care.
For an outside observer, it must be baffling that the BNP, having witnessed what the actions of the last 15 years did to the Awami League in three short weeks this summer, never even considered the fact that if they didn’t play fast and loose with people’s precious time like Sheikh Hasina used to, it would set a nice contrast in the minds of voters and the young generation.
It had been precisely 2,732 days since BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia met her only surviving son.
The former prime minister is on her way to London for advanced medical treatment
Khaleda is set to leave Dhaka for London at 10:00pm Tuesday
BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia will not attend the rally of Jatiyatabadi Muktijoddha Dal scheduled for Saturday (December 21) due to illness
If Khaleda attends the rally, it will be her first public appearance at a political event since 2017
Party insiders said that all necessary arrangements have been made to send the 79-year-old former prime minister abroad for specialised treatment.

The HC scraped the trial court verdict that sentenced Khaleda and two others in the same case.
