BNP on Thursday demanded release of BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia from jail before Eid-ul-Azha, the second biggest religious festival of Muslims, to be celebrated on 22 August.

Demanding proper treatment for Khaleda, he said that we urge the government to take action for ensuring proper treatment for our party chairperson.
He said: “Khaleda Zia is being deprived of justice by the government. She is kept away from all kinds of rights.”
