DHAKA, June 18, 2018 (BSS) – Road Transport and Bridges Minister and Awami
League General Secretary Obaidul Quader today said the BNP leaders are trying
to create a political issue centering the treatment of party’s Chairperson
Begum Khaleda Zia.
“Creating political issue is more important to them (BNP leaders) than
Khaleda Zia’s physical condition. After the Eid, BNP wants to capitalize the
matter as an excuse to wage movement,” he told newsmen while exchanging Eid
greetings with ministry officials and employees at his secretariat office
here.
Quader said according to jail code, BNP leaders cannot meet Khaleda Zia
every day.
“You should remember that it is jail, it is not a residence. The BNP
leaders cannot meet Khaleda Zia regularly. Family members can meet her. They
went and they met her,” he added.
About the treatment of Begum Khaleda Zia, the minister said CMH is a
hospital with maximum facilities. “We do not know why she does not want to
receive treatment from there,” he added.
About overseas visits of BNP leaders, Quader said they don’t have faith in
people so they are visiting different countries.
The government has every information about them, he added.
