Dhaka desk: BNP senior leader Moudud Ahmed yesterday said their party chairperson Khaleda Zia will be able to join the next general election even if she is convicted in the ‘false' cases filed against her, reports UNB.
“It's a wrong perception that Khaleda Zia can't participate in the election if she's convicted. I would like to clearly say she'll be able to take part directly in the polls even she is convicted in the false cases,” he said.
Speaking at a discussion, the BNP leader also said Khaleda will not only participate in the election, but also will lead her party and the BNP-led alliance.
Labour Party, one of the components of the 20-party alliance, arranged the programme at Dhaka Reporters' Unity (DRU), marking the eight anniversary of Pilkhana tragedy in 2009.
Moudud, a BNP standing committee member, also said the next election will not be one-party and unilateral one. “No more one-party election will be held on Bangladesh's soil. If any one makes such a plan, I think they cannot understand the reality.”unb
