BNP Chairperson Khaleda ended up in jail for five years after she was convicted of embezzling foreign funds donated for orphans. The BNP then announced the appointment of Lord Carlile as its legal adviser following the order of the Supreme Court. In appointing the British lawyer, the BNP opted for someone who stood for Mir Kashem Ali, a war criminal, only to cling to Jamaat-e-Islami, said AL leader Mohammed Nasim. Similarly, their lawyer Lord Carlile has the same perception. He also informed Lord Carlile had raised questions on the verdict of the case against war criminal Mir Kashem Ali.
