Khaleda asked to appear before court Jan 9

A Dhaka court has ordered BNP chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia to appear before it on 9 January, in connection with 10 cases filed against her.

Judge Kamrul Hossain Mollah of Metropolitan Sessions Judges Court passed the order on Thursday noon mentioning that ‘Khaleda Zia will not be granted any bail if she does not appear before the court on the day’.

Khaleda’s counsel Md Sanaullah Miah in the petition sought adjournment of the hearing saying that his client Khaleda could not appear before the court as she has to appear before another court in connection with Zia Charitable Trust graft case to place her self-defence statements.
