Resisting the allegations raised by BNP leaders, Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader on Friday said the government has not taken any decision to arrest Khaleda Zia.

He came up with the remarks while replying to a question during a sudden visit to BRTC Bus Depot in Nagpara area of the city on Friday morning.

“BNP leaders are saying in their comments that the government is hatching conspiracy against Khaleda to arrest her but the government did not take any decision in this connection,” he said.

During his visit, the minister found some illegal human hauler workshops near Dhaka-Mymensingh highway in Salna area and ordered to evict all the workshops, reports UNB.

He also expressed his dissatisfaction as he did not find the manger of the depot at his desk during the visit.

Later, the minister ordered the higher authority of BRTC to issue show cause notice against manager as he found several irregularities at the depot.
