BNP Chairperson and former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia will be buried beside her husband, late President Ziaur Rahman, behind the National Parliament building in Dhaka. Before the burial, her funeral prayer will be held at Manik Mia Avenue, the same location where millions gathered 44 years ago to pay their last respects to Ziaur Rahman. The event is being described as a repetition of history.
In 1981, President Ziaur Rahman was killed in a failed military coup at the Chittagong Circuit House. His funeral took place on June 2 that year at Manik Mia Avenue, followed by a state burial near the Parliament building. The massive public turnout at his funeral became a historic moment in Dhaka’s history.
Khaleda Zia entered politics after her husband’s death, taking charge of the BNP without prior political experience. Through years of political struggle, she led the party to electoral victories and served three terms as Prime Minister, becoming the country’s first female head of government.
