Awami League Publicity and Publication Secretary Hasan Mahmud yesterday urged the government to search BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia’s Gulshan office as soon as possible.
“As continued petrol bomb attacks and killing of people are being executed on her [Khaleda] directives, she has become a militant leader. Besides, BNP and Jamaat-e-Islami have now become militant groups,” Hasan Mahmud said.
“When searched, huge amounts of arms and ammunition might be found at Khaleda’s residence, so the government should take immediate steps to search the house,” he told a protest programme in front the capital’s National Press Club.
Hasan Mahmud said since there were around 50-60 men hiding in Khaleda’s office, militants might also be taking refuge there.
The former minister also thanked the police for seeking permission from the court to search Khaleda Zia’s Gulshan office where she has been living since January 4.
He further urged the police to implement the court order immediately.
On February 25, a Dhaka court issued an arrest warrant against the BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia in two graft cases.
