The BNP chief made the remark during a BNP Executive Committee meeting called following the announcement of the date for the verdict in the Zia Orphanage Trust case. Approximately 450 members of the BNP Executive Committee and members of the Advisory Council were in attendance. The ‘constraints’ the government has put on lower courts are also enforced on the Supreme Court, the BNP chief alleged in her inaugural speech. Her eldest son, Tarique Rahman, is also accused in the case. Khaleda also discussed the seven-year prison sentence given to Tarique Rahman by the High Court in a money laundering case after he was acquitted by a trial court.
