The BNP has termed "unacceptable" the government's reasoning -- on legal grounds -- for not accepting the application from BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia's family to allow her to go abroad for treatment.
"They [government] said they can't allow Khaleda Zia to go abroad [for treatment]. They have given some reasons which are absolutely unacceptable and lame. They said there is no precedence of sending convicts abroad. They are trying to mislead people," said BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir yesterday.
He made the remarks at a press conference at the BNP chairperson's political office in Gulshan in response to remarks made by several ministers regarding the application for sending Khaleda abroad.
