The message stated that the Prime Minister is deeply saddened by the passing of Khaleda Zia, who served as Bangladesh’s first female Prime Minister and played a significant role in the country’s struggle for democracy. Her death represents an irreparable loss to both Bangladesh’s political landscape and the leadership of the BNP.
Sheikh Hasina prayed for the eternal peace of Khaleda Zia’s soul and extended her heartfelt sympathies to her son, Tarique Rahman, and other grieving family members.
Meanwhile, Sheikh Hasina’s son, Sajeeb Wazed Joy, also shared a condolence message on his verified Facebook page, expressing sympathy to Khaleda Zia’s bereaved family.
