Thousands of mourners gathered at Sher-e-Bangla Nagar in Dhaka on Thursday to visit the graves of former Prime Minister and BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia and her husband, late President Ziaur Rahman. From dawn until late night, people of all ages and backgrounds arrived at the Zia Udyan mausoleum carrying flowers, reciting prayers, and reading from the Quran. The area turned into a scene of deep mourning and emotion as visitors paid tribute to the late leader. Many visitors expressed their grief and admiration for Khaleda Zia’s political legacy and personal sacrifices. Among them were families, students, and BNP leaders who described her as a symbol of courage, dignity, and dedication to Bangladesh’s interests. Former press aide and current Bangladeshi ambassador to Mexico, Mushfiqur Fazal Ansari, called her an uncompromising builder of democracy and economic progress. Others pledged to continue her political ideals under the leadership of Tarique Rahman. Khaleda Zia was buried with state honors on Wednesday beside her husband’s grave at Zia Udyan, following her funeral prayer held earlier that afternoon.
