BNP Joint Secretary General and Narsingdi district president Khairul Kabir Khokon stated that former Prime Minister Begum Khaleda Zia’s steadfast and uncompromising leadership was instrumental in bringing about Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s downfall. Speaking at a women’s rally and prayer event in Madhabdi organized by the Narsingdi district Mohila Dal, Khokon accused the government of subjecting Khaleda Zia to injustice and denying her proper medical treatment while she was imprisoned. He alleged that despite repeated appeals from her family for medical treatment abroad, the authorities obstructed the process. Khokon praised Khaleda Zia’s lifelong dedication to the nation, saying she never compromised with what he described as an authoritarian regime. He urged party members to pray for her health and longevity, emphasizing her role in restoring democracy. Several BNP leaders, including Advocate Shirin Sultana and Abu Saleh Chowdhury, were present at the event.
