BNP chief and opposition leader BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia Zia will not get any protection from the elite Special Safety Force as demanded by BNP senior leaders. However, the three-time former prime minister will be provided with greater safety than she now receives, restricted government minister Syed Ashraful Islam told reporters on Saturday.
He said, "Prime minister Sheikh Hasina ordered home minister and Awami League presidium member Sahara Khatun to increase the opposition leader's safety."
"BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia Zia gets three times more safety than Sheikh Hasina used to get when she was the opposition leader," Ashraful said.
SSF for BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia Zia is a long-time demand of BNP. The main opposition base, after a meeting of its highest policy making body two days ago, renewed the demand in wake of two small blasts in front of BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia's political office at Gulshan earlier in the week.
Ashraful, with regard to the demand, said Saturday, "The opposition leader doesn't get SSF safety under law."
The BNP standing committee, however, after its meeting Thursday, vented its concerns about the recent explosion of two handmade bombs targeting BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia and demanded passage of new laws if the existing laws do not approve special safety for the opposition leader.
According to the existing law, only the president and prime minister receive SSF safety. But during the last interim government's tenure, both Hasina and BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia received this special protection for a time.
