Each has been Prime Minister, and both have sought, while in office, to use the courts to keep the other out of power, even out of politics altogether – seemingly without regard to the cost. The murder charges leveled against Zia have already spurred protests, and could incite massive civil disturbances if a trial actually takes place, jeopardizing the economic success that the country has had under Hasina’s rule.
事实上，两位领导人的对立既久且盛。两人都当过总理，在执政期间都试图利用法庭将另一位逐出权力甚至政坛——并且大有不惜一切代价之势。针对齐亚的谋杀指控已经导致了示威游行，如果真的进入庭审，有可能导致大规模民变，破坏哈希纳治下孟加拉国所取得的经济成功。但最终需要对总理负责的政府检察官仍在推进这宗案子。
