Senior Reporter: Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) Chairperson Khaleda Zia will hold a press conference today (Wednesday) afternoon, a day ahead of the verdict on a corruption case against her.

The press meet will be held at Khaleda’s Gulshan office at 5.00pm, BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi said.

A Dhaka court will announce the verdict in the Zia Orphanage Trust corruption case against Khaleda on Thursday. Khaleda is expected to talk about the verdict and national politics surrounding the issue.

Former prime minister Khaleda Zia, her self-exiled son Tarique Rahman and four others are accused in the case.

A number of ministers and MPs have hinted that BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia would be sentenced to a certain jail term in the verdict.

The Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) has slapped a ban on all types of processions and carrying sticks and arms in the capital from the verdict day morning.
