UNB: Decision on the petition submitted seeking extension of the suspension of Khaleda Zia’s jail term and treatment abroad will be known on Tuesday, said Law Minister Anisul Huq on Monday.
“In the petition, they wanted the permanent release of Khaleda Zia as before. I don’t understand what permanent release means? They are seeking permission to send her abroad. I have received the file today. I will take decision on the petition soon after checking what they (Khaleda’s family) have requested. It will be done by tomorrow Insha Allah,” he said while talking to reporters at his office.
The minister said, “I don’t understand one thing. I have explained the law many times that she was released under section 401 of the Code of Criminal Procedure(CrPC). Beyond that, we have nothing to do. But even then, every time, I see that they are applying in the same way they did first,” he said. It was clarified.
