DHAKA: BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia on Saturday said Sheikh Hasina would not be able to stay in power for forever and some 15 cases filed against her will have to be run again.  

“You (Hasina) must be brought to book and interrogated over all your misdeeds. The government must run 15 cases against the prime minister as I move for four cases,” she said.    

 The former premier of the country came up with the claim while addressing a rally at National Press Club in the capital on Saturday noon.

She also claimed that the incumbent “illegal” government can’t place budget in the parliament.   

Khaleda Zia added: “As there is no people’s representative in the parliament, the government can’t place the budget before it.”     

The BNP chief also alleged the law enforcers have been making the arrest in the late night as per the government direction.          

Khaleda also urged the law enforcement agencies not to arrest in the darkness of night and demanded not to make arrest anyone without the presence of a magistrate and without arrest order.

She demanded to disband the elite force RAB as they are involved in crimes.

BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia categorically alleged that the government is not permitting BNP to hold rally as it has lost people’s support. 

She said, “The incumbent government in not obeying rule of law and its lawmakers saying no need of policy.”

Later, she warned that none would be allowed to do anything at their sweet will.

Earlier, Khaleda Zia joined the rally of pro-BNP lawyers at the changed venue at the National Press Club after cops foiled their program at Supreme Court premise.
