Govt knows nothing about Khaleda’s parole: Momen

The government has no information about BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia's release on parole, Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen said on Thursday.
During a briefing to media about Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's three-day visit to Brunei, the Foreign Minister came up with the remark in reply to a reporter's query over the parole of Khaleda.
Recent media reports have quoted party insiders and said that Khaleda, who has been in jail for over 14 months on corruption charges, might catch a London flight any day before April 30, the last day for oath-taking as MPs by six BNP leaders, who got elected in the December 30 general elections.
Khaleda has been in jail since February 8 last year when a special court awarded her five years in prison in the Zia Orphanage Trust graft case. The High Court later extended her jail term to 10 years in the case. She was also convicted in the Zia Charitable Trust graft case and handed a seven-year jail term.
