Cantonment house
Begum Khaleda Zia, former prime minister, is adamant not to vacate the house leased out to her. By doing so she is not drawing sympathy from the people, she is rather belittling her to the public. She doesn't own that property. She is a tenant and the state is the owner. She cannot deny this hard truth.
Usually, any lease agreement contains a definite clause which empowers both the owner and the tenant to serve a prior notice, if either side wants to cancel the lease agreement before the expiry of date. I am not aware if there is any such clause in the lease agreement of the house given to Begum Khaleda Zia.
Whatever may be the case, I am sceptical about her position on the issue and her going up to the High Court for cancellation of the government order. Why is she so adamant?
