Dhaka, Aug 7 (UNI) A day after her release from house arrest, former prime minister and BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia on Wednesday delivered a speech at a party rally at the capital's Naya Paltan area via video link.
This is the first time Khaleda, 79, delivered a public speech at a political rally -- more than six and a half years after she landed in jail in a corruption case in February 2018.
Khaleda, who was undergoing treatment at Evercare Hospital, was released on Tuesday after the President pardoned her punishment, a day after Sheikh Hasina resigned as Prime Minister and fled the country in the face of mass uprising.
