DHAKA, May 5, 2025 (BSS) - BNP Chairperson and former Prime Minister Begum Khaleda Zia has arrived at Heathrow International Airport after leaving her son’s home in London to return to Bangladesh.

Her son and party’s acting chief Tarique Rahman drove her to the airport at 2:10 pm local time, her personal physician Prof AZM Zahid Hossain said.

Khaleda’s two daughters-in-law Zubaida Rahman and Syeda Shamila Rahman were also in the car, said Zahid. 

He said Begum Zia will leave London on a special aircraft provided by Qatar’s Emir at 4:10 am local time.

Meanwhile, BNP leaders and activists from various European countries and various cities in the United States have been gathering in London since Monday morning to bid farewell to Begum Khaleda Zia. They came despite knowing that they would not meet her at Heathrow Airport due to security issues.

Even though Monday was a bank holiday or a government holiday and there was inclement weather, they continued to gather to bid farewell to Khaleda Zia.

Khaleda Zia is returning home after receiving treatment in London for the past four months as she went there on January 7.
