The Islami Oikya Jote organized a special prayer session at the southern courtyard of Baitul Mukarram National Mosque on Wednesday after Asr prayers, seeking the recovery of BNP Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia. The prayer was led by Maulana Mohammad Ilias Athari, the party’s joint secretary general and spokesperson. During the prayer, Athari emphasized Khaleda Zia’s importance in safeguarding Bangladesh’s democracy, sovereignty, and independence, and in resisting foreign dominance. He expressed hope that she would regain her health and once again lead the nation during its critical times. Several leaders from Islami Chhatra Samaj and Islami Oikya Jote’s Dhaka Metropolitan unit, including Hafiz Belal Hossain, H.M. Borkatullah, Nurul Azam Hawlader, and others, attended the event. The gathering reflected continued political and religious solidarity with the ailing opposition leader, who remains a symbolic figure in Bangladesh’s democratic movement.
