By Staff Correspondent
Major (retd) Sayeed Iskander. younger brother of BNP chief and Leader of the Opposition in Parliament Begum Khaleda Zia. was stopped at the Zia International Airport (ZIA) while he was leaving for Lon--don yesterday.
An official handout last night said Iskander was going . abroad with the objective of "'establishing contacts"' with the self confessed killers of Banga-bandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
Referring to information received by security authorities, the handout also said that Iskandar's attempt to go to London at a time when Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is due to participate in the forthcoming Commonwealth Summit and his possible "contacts' are "threats to the PM's semrity."
That's why. Iskander has been barred from going abroad." the handout said. adding, the authorities concerned have been instructed to conduct emergency investigation into the matter.
ZIA sources said that as ordered by the airport immigration authorities, the BG-005 flight returned to the bay from the runway five few minutes before its scheduled takeoff at noon.
Iskander argued with immigration officials when he was asked to get off the aircraft. About 20 minutes later he disembarked and was taken to the immigration office at the main terminal building at the airport.
Biman sources said the process' delayed the flight by about two-hours, resulting in inconvenience to the passengers
Later in the evening. Iskander claimed that he was going to London for being operated upon following doctor's advice. He added the operation was scheduled for October 21.
At a hurriedly called press briefing at Begum Zia s official residence, he warned that the government would be held responsible for his life for denying him treatment in London.
He also alleged that the government was consistently ha rassing him in many ways.
BNP Secretary General Abdul Mannan Bhuiyan MP. termed the Incident part of the government's "attempt to undermine Begum Zia's family.''
Iskander is on anticipatory ball in three cases. two of those relating to corruption charges and one for allegedly assaulting military intelligence agents.
UNB adds: Police sources said the passport of Iskander was also impounded.
.. FeW. months ago, police raided Major Iskander s Barid-hara residence on allegation that he had physically assaulted two army Intelligence men.
