Information Minister and Awami League joint general secretary Dr Hasan Mahmud today said the bail issue of graft-convicted BNP chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia is completely a matter of court and the government has nothing to do about it, reports BSS.
“If the court thinks that Khaleda is eligible for bail it will give bail to her….if it thinks she is not eligible for bail, it will not grant bail . . . it is completely a matter of court. The government has nothing to do in this regard,” said Dr Hasan while speaking as the chief guest at the inaugural function of the biennial general assembly of Dhaka Union of Journalists (DUJ) at the National Press Club auditorium here.
DUJ president Abu Zafar Surya presided over the function while Bangladesh Federation Union of Journalists (BFUJ) Molla Jalal and BFUJ secretary general Shaban Mahmud were present as special guest. DUJ general secretary Sohel Haider Chowdhury delivered the welcome address.
