Bangladesh, Feb. 18 -- Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Anisul Huq said on Sunday BNP chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia's 10-year imprisonment in a graft case was not too harsh but appropriate.
"She was Prime Minister of the country at that time. She was supposed to check graft, but she plundered money meant for orphans. So, I think her 10-year prison sentence was not too harsh but appropriate," he said.
The minister said this while addressing a seminar on anti-graft operation and its success at the National Press Club in the morning. Organised by Progotishil Columnist Forum, the seminar was presided over by forum convener Dr Mizanur Rahman.
