Prime Minister has Given an Appointment Elias' wife Wednesday


DHAKA NEWS

Dhaka, Apr 30 The prime minister has given an appointment on Wednesday to missing BNP leader M Ilias Ali's wife, hours after her appeal for a chance to meet Sheikh Hasina.

"The prime minister will meet Tahsina Rushdir at 6pm," her press secretary Abul Kalam Azad told

Earlier in the day, Rushdir had at a press conference expressed her desire to meet Hasina over the disappearance of her husband

"My children are facing uncertainty and insecurity. I can't even send them to school. I want my husband back at any cost," she had told the media at her Banani residence as 12 days have passed since her husband went missing.

"If the prime minister allows, I want to meet her along with my family," she said alleging that the law enforcers were becoming 'less helpful' in finding out her husband.

Ilias, the main opposition BNP's one of the organising secretaries, went missing along with his driver past midnight on Apr 17. His abandoned car was found from Mohakhali in the capital.

The 18-party opposition alliance led by BNP observed two-day general strike on Sunday and Monday demanding 'return' of Ilias Ali, also chief of party's Sylhet chapter.

The opposition also enforced general strike for three consecutive days starting Apr 22 over the same demand alleging that 'government agencies abducted' Ilias.

On the other hand, the government has been saying that it was 'an opposition-staged drama' to create an issue.
