The government has fixed Tk 15 to buy Iftar for arrested former Prime Ministers Khaleda Zia and Sheikh Hasina. DIG (Prisons) Major Shamsul Haider Siddiqui told UNB Iftar of Tk 15 will be provided for each prisoner, including Khaleda Zia and Sheikh Hasina now detained in makeshift jails.

" If they (Hasina and Khaleda) want additional Iftar items, they will have to pay for that," he said.

Major Siddiqui said Tk. seven was allocated for Iftar in last Ramadan. Now it was increased to Tk 15.
