Law Minister Anisul Huq on Tuesday said the memorandum submitted by pro-BNP lawyers seeking government permission to send its chairperson Khaleda Zia abroad for advanced medical treatment will be examined.
“I would like to remind you one thing that Khaleda Zia was freed to stay home as Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina considered the matter from a humanitarian aspect. So I would say the government doesn’t lack humanity or compassion.”

“We know how to exhibit humanity and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina knows how to do it,” the minister added.
“I’ll definitely examine the memorandum. We need to hold discussions to make a decision and we’ll do that. I don't think it would be right for me to tell you anything prematurely today,” the minister added.
