Khaleda Zia Can Go Abroad through Legal Process

Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal has said that if BNP chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia wants to go abroad for treatment, she can go through a legal process subject to the court's permission.

The Home Minister was responding to a question from reporters at the inaugural function of the Delegates Conference-2022 at the Institution of Diploma Engineers Bangladesh (IDEB) Hall at Kakrail in the capital on Saturday (June 11).

The home minister said BNP chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia is currently a convicted accused in the case. The Prime Minister has arranged for her treatment as per the decision of the court. If she has to go abroad for treatment, she must need the court's consent.

Responding to another question from reporters, the home minister said it was not true that police had been attacked in different parts of the country. The incident at Mohammadpur in the capital is tragic. Those who caused the incident should have been restrained. It is not right for the police to sit on their hands.

He said there was security in the country as the police were carrying out their duties properly. So, the development of the country is going on at an indomitable pace.
