Punish me as long as you want, Khaleda tells court

‘Punish me as long as you want,’ said Bangladesh Nationalist Party chairperson Khaleda Zia to the makeshift courtroom at the old Dhaka Central Jail on Najimuddin Road in Dhaka on Wednesday.

‘I am sick. I will not appear in court frequently,’ Khaleda told the court.

Earlier, the government had set up the makeshift courtroom at the old Dhaka Central Jail on Najimuddin Road for holding trial of jailed BNP chief Khaleda Zia.

Khaleda has been at the jail since February 8, when the Dhaka Special Judge’s Court-5 jailed the former prime minister for five years in Shaheed Ziaur Rahman Orphanage Trust graft case.
