Khaleda’s treatment abroad: Law minister sends opinion to home ministry

Law Minister Anisul Huq today sent his opinion to the home ministry on the application that sought permission from the government to allow BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia to go abroad for treatment.

"I have sent my legal opinion to the home ministry. The relevant file will go the prime minister. Under the rules of businesses, I cannot disclose my opinion until the prime minister sees it," the law minister told The Daily Star.

Replying to a question, he said," I have given my opinion considering all the legal precedence. What I said earlier about the demand for allowing Khaleda Zia to go abroad is right. There is no legal support on the demand placed by pro-BNP lawyers to this regard."
