A Dhaka court yesterday set June 29 for hearing on charge framing against BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia, her elder son Tarique Rahman and four others in connection with Zia Orphanage Trust graft case. Special Judge Court-3 Judge Mozammel Hossain passed the order after counsels for Khaleda and Tarique submitted separate petitions seeking adjournment of the case. Khaleda's lawyers submitted the petition saying that Khaleda could not appear before the court as she was busy with organising party activities while advocate Sanaullah Miah represented Tarique in his absence as he is staying abroad for treatment. The four other accused are former BNP lawmaker Kazi Saleemul Haq Kamal, Sharfuddin Ahmed, former principal secretary Dr Kamal Uddin Siddique and former president late Ziaur Rahman's nephew Mominur Rahman.
