A court here today set May 26 for holding hearing on
charge framing in two cases-- observing fake birthday on National
Mourning Day and stigmatizing the War of Liberation-- lodged against BNP
Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia.
Today was fixed for holding the indictment hearings in the
two cases, but Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Asaduzzaman Noor
reset the date, allowing a time plea of the defence.
Khaleda Zia's counsel Advocate Masud Ahmed Talukder filed
the time plea, saying his client could not appear before the court due to
her illness.
Journalist Gazi Jahirul Islam lodged the fake birthday case
against Khaleda Zia on August 30, 2016.
According to the complainant, Khaleda from 1996 was
celebrating her fake birthday on August 15, the day when Father of the Nation
Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was martyred along with most of his
family members. She is doing this on purpose only to dishonour the Father
of the Nation.
The complainant also submitted copies of different newspaper
reports on Khaleda's birthday, copies of her passport, marriage
certificate and mark sheets, which indicates August 15 is not her birthday
in anyway.
Jananetri Parishad President AB Siddiqui filed the other
case on November 3, 2016 against Khaleda Zia and her late husband Ziaur
Rahman for stigmatizing the War of Liberation by rehabilitating
anti-Liberation War elements.
The BNP chief is on bail in both the cases as Dhaka
Metropolitan Sessions Judge KM Imrul Qayesh granted her bail on July 31,
2018.
