Khaleda Zia, former Prime Minister of Bangladesh.
Dhaka: After the ousted Prime Minister of Bangladesh Sheikh Hasina, now her rival and former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia has also left the country. Khaled Zia has left Bangladesh at a time when he has been acquitted in many major cases during the tenure of the interim government led by Mohammad Yunus and he is being seen as the new future PM of the country. But what is the reason that Khalid Zia has left Bangladesh even before the election dates were announced in the country. Let us tell you the reason for this.
Actually, it is being told that former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia has been suffering from some serious illness and she has left for London from the country’s capital on Tuesday for her treatment. An advisor of Jiya gave this information. Khaleda’s advisor Zaheeruddin Swapan told on phone that Khaleda, who was three times Prime Minister and head of Bangladesh Nationalist Party, left Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in ‘air ambulance’ late on Tuesday night. “Our senior leaders saw him off at the airport,” Swapan said.

Zia’s convoy took nearly three hours to cross the 10-km stretch to reach the airport as thousands of her frustrated supporters gathered on the way from her residence in Dhaka’s Gulshan area to the airport. An interim government led by Nobel Peace Prize winner Mohammad Yunus is running the country and plans to hold elections in December 2025 or the first half of next year. Zia was sentenced to 17 years in jail after two corruption cases came to light during Hasina’s rule between 2001 and 2006.
