Dhaka, Feb 10 (IBNS): BNP leader Barrister Moudud Ahmed on Saturday said conviction and sentence against former Bangladesh PM Khaleda Zia in Zia Orphanage Trust graft case is going to be a turning point for the party.

“It is a political blunder on the part of the government, which cannot realise the severity and depth of the reaction of the verdict,” Moudud was quoted as saying by The Daily Star.

BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia was on Thursday sentenced to five years in jail as a Bangladesh court convicted her in the Zia Orphanage Trust graft case, reports said.

Her son Tarique Rahman and four others got 10 years' jail term in connection with the same case.

Zia  was found guilty of embezzlement of  252,000 Dollars from a trust created for an orphanage in the name of her late husband and Bangladesh's former President Ziaur Rahman.
