A Dhaka court has refused to admit a
complaint lodged against Opposition Leader Khaleda Zia, accusing her of issuing
threats during her altercation with police on Sunday
After a hearing on Wednesday, Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate
Asaduzzaman Noor observed that it was not clear how the complainant, Bangladesh
freedom-fighter Awami League founder Mojibur Rahman Molla, was defamed by
Khaleda Zia’s comment.
Molla had filed the complaint on Wednesday morning accusing
the BNP chief of issuing threats during an altercation with police on Sunday.
Angry over the police refusal to let her leave her house to
attend a party rally, Khaleda warned a woman police official, apparently
hailing from Gopalganj, of changing the district's name which happens to be
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's home district.
“Where do you hail from? Gopali? Will change the name of
Gopalganj. It will not exist any longer,” she thundered.
The Opposition Leader was much criticised by Gopalganj residents
as well by Awami League leaders for the comments.
In his complaint Molla, who is also a resident of Gopalganj,
said that comment was defamatory and charged Khaleda for issuing threat and
instigation.
On Tuesday, the same court had refused to admit a similar
complaint against the BNP chief filed by one AB Siddique.
