BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia on Wednesday denounced the jailing of her party's senior leader MK Anwar and arrest of her adviser Shawkat Mahmud, and urged the government to return to the path of democracy. In a statement, she also said her party, if returns to power in the future, will never choose the path of political reprisal and give priority to upholding the spirit of the national unity. She alleged that the government has resorted to repressive acts and political vengeance. “We’ve got disheartened over the sending BNP standing committee member and senior politician of Bangladesh MK Anwar to jail when he surrendered before a court, despite having the bail from the High Court, showing respect for law in a conspiratorial and false case filed in Comilla,” she said. “The government’s such attitude towards a revered and elderly politician of the country has demonstrated its utter inhuman and intolerance action. It’s nothing but abuse of power,” she said. The BNP chief also strongly protested and condemned the arrest of her adviser and journalis union leader Shawkat Mahmud by the law enforcers, according to a news agency.
