Bangladesh’s Ambassador to Mexico, Mushfiqur Fazal Ansari, has shared an emotional Facebook post describing former Prime Minister Begum Khaleda Zia as a life-changing inspiration. Reflecting on his early career, Ansari said he began working at the Prime Minister’s Office at age 26 under Khaleda Zia’s leadership, which shaped his professional and personal journey. He credited her guidance, compassion, and determination for his success and moral courage. Ansari also recalled highlighting Khaleda Zia’s role in promoting democracy and human rights at international platforms, including the UN and the White House, while condemning the alleged persecution she faced under the Hasina government. Recounting his decision to move to the United States in 2016 after political pressure, he said Khaleda Zia encouraged the move. Currently unable to visit her due to official restrictions and health reasons, Ansari expressed deep sorrow and prayed for her recovery.
