Dhaka: Detained former premier and Awami League (AL) chief Sheikh Hasina has demanded general elections to be held on schedule despite her fears of being barred from taking part due to an extortion case.
The Tk 3 crore extortion case was filed against her to undermine Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's family, she said in an emotion-choked voice.
The former prime minister said this yesterday during a meeting with her counsels after the Court of the Sessions Judge fixed next Sunday for charge framing of the case filed by businessman Azam J Chowdhury on June 13 last year.
