Khaleda leaves for UK Tuesday

BNP chief Khaleda Zia will leave for the United Kingdom (UK) Tuesday, where she will celebrate Eid-ul-Azha with her son Tarique Rahman.
BNP’s Standing Committee member Nazrul Islam Khan told reporter, “Begum Zia is leaving the day after tomorrow. She will get treatment for her eyes and spend some time with her eldest son Tarique Rahman and family members.” The BNP chief will return after celebrating the Eid in London, he added.
This will be the first Eid the three-time prime minister will spend with Tarique and the other family members since her both sons left the country.
Nazrul Islam Khan said last Sunday, “She was supposed to leave earlier for eye treatment, but the departure was delayed due to political reasons.”
 “We hope she will return safely after receiving treatment.”
Though Khaleda said the purpose of her visit was health check-up, leaders of ruling Awami League claim she was going there to ‘plot more conspiracies’.
Khan said the BNP chief at Sunday night’s meeting urged the senior leaders to form the committees of all units at the grassroots level across Bangladesh and revamp the party from their own positions during her absence, according to  bdnews24.com.
