DHAKA: BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Thursday (March 31) termed the issuance of arrest warrant against party Chairperson Khaleda Zia as ‘politically motivated’.

He came up with the allegation while addressing a press conference at BNP’s Nayapaltan central office in city around 12 noon.

The BNP leader also said such an arrest warrant against a person, who has been fighting to uphold the country’s democracy and who did not yield to illegal caretaker government, was ridiculous.

Claiming the case as false, he also said incumbent government is detached from countrymen.

He also strongly condemned the issuance of warrant.

On March 30 (Wednesday), the court of metropolitan session judge Quamrul Hossain issued the arrest warrant against 28 accused, including Khaleda Zia, in a case filed with Jatrabari thana of city over a petrol bomb attack on a passenger bus in the area.
