A Dhaka court Sunday set October 29 to hold hearing on charge framing in a case lodged against BNP chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia over allegedly making religious incitement and trying to create conflict among people of different classes.

Today was fixed for holding hearing on the matter, but Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Asaduzzaman Nur reset the date, allowing a time plea of the defence. Earlier on July 29, Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Ziaur Rahman transferred the case from his court as it got ready to start the trial. Jananetri Parishad president AB Siddiqui filed the case against Khaleda for allegedly making those religious inciting comments at a function at capital Engineers Institution on October 14, 2014.
