Bangladesh Nationalist Party has sent a legal notice to prime minister Sheikh Hasina by lawyer for PM’s ‘defamatory’ remarks against BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia and her family members.

At a press conference on Wednesday at BNP’s central office at Nayapaltan in Dhaka, BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir told reporters that a Supreme Court lawyer on Tuesday night sent the legal notice to PM.

The notice asked PM to apologise to the nation within 30 days for delivering ‘unlawful’ and ‘defamatory’ statements against Khaleda Zia and her family members.

Earlier, on December 8, the party warned that it would take legal action if the Hasina failed to apologise.

on December 7, Hasina at a press conference mentioned allegation against Khaleda Zia and her family for siphoning huge amount of wealth to Saudi Arabia.

Fakhrul said that the prime minister’s statements on ‘imaginary smuggle out of wealth’ published in ‘imaginary mass media’ were ‘false, fabricated, baseless and politically motivated’.

He alleged that the key purpose of these fictitious stories of corruption was to tarnish Khaleda’s image and belittle her before people.
