Street movement if Khaleda convicted ‘unlawfully’

BNP senior leader Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain yesterday warned that their party will take to the streets if their Chairperson Khaleda Zia is 'unlawfully' convicted in two graft cases filed against her, reports UNB. Hours after a Dhaka court fixed February 8 to deliver verdict in the Zia Orphanage Trust graft case, the BNP leader came up with the threat at a discussion programme. "We've been legally facing the cases filed against our chairperson. We would like to clearly say that if our leader is convicted in false and fabricated cases, we'll face it politically," he said. Mosharraf, a BNP standing committee member, urged their party leaders and activists to get ready to take to the streets whenever the party calls them to foil the government's 'conspiracy' against Khaleda. Meanwhile, the Special Court-5 in Dhaka fixed February 8 to deliver the verdict in the Zia Orphanage Trust graft case against Khaleda and 5 others.
