The funeral prayer of BNP Chairperson and former Prime Minister Begum Khaleda Zia was held on Wednesday, December 31, 2025, at Manik Mia Avenue in Dhaka, drawing millions of mourners. The event saw a massive turnout across surrounding areas, including the South Plaza of the National Parliament, Sobhanbag, Karwan Bazar, Bijoy Sarani, and Shyamoli. Khaleda Zia had passed away on Tuesday, December 30, at Evercare Hospital in the capital after more than a month of treatment.
Interim government cultural affairs adviser and filmmaker Mostofa Sarwar Farooki described the farewell as “historic” in a Facebook post. He compared the public response to that of the funeral of President Ziaur Rahman, saying the nation had once again shown deep respect. Farooki noted that the vast crowd symbolized the gratitude of the Bangladeshi people, something that not everyone receives.
The funeral was attended by the chief adviser, heads of the three armed forces, diplomats, and leaders from various political parties, marking a significant moment in Bangladesh’s political history.
