The Mohila Parishad said 1251 women and kids were raped, 224 were gang-raped and 58 of them were killed in 2017, tweeted Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) Chairperson Khaleda Zia on Monday.

‘I’m gravely disturbed at such colossal lawlessness and heinous attack on our women’s dignity. This unelected regime uses public money but robs them of their basic rights’, Zia added.

Meanwhile, the Law Ministry on Monday shifted 16 cases filed against BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia to the makeshift court at Bakshibazar in the city.

The ministry issued three gazette notifications in this regard, reports the UNB.
