![]() It may be mentioned here that the government has decided on Wednesday at a cabinet meeting that it will request the cantonment board to cancel Khaleda Zia's cantonment residence.
He said the government has started politics with a settled issue avoiding national issues. "The government has failed to run the country within three months. People are vexed with oppressions of AL leaders and activists. We are requesting the government not to interfere with law," he said, adding "that the decision is the outcome of vindictive politics and I feel shame when I thing of that narrow minded decision. Standing committee member Dr Khandaker Mosharref Hossain said, "The cantonment board handed over the residence to Begum Khaleda Zia in a legal process. The cantonment board can cancel the lease of Khaleda's residence not the government." He urged the government for withdrawing the illegal decision otherwise the opposition would go for tougher movement. | |
