Bangladesh Nationalist Party will accord a reception for the party chairperson Khaleda Zia on her return to Dhaka today after performing hajj in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Leaders and activists of BNP and its front and associate organisations will welcome her back at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport, in the afternoon.
BNP Dhaka city unit convenor Mirza Abbas, also a standing committee member, had asked the party leaders and activists on Tuesday to gather at the airport to receive their chairperson.
BNP organising secretary Syed Emran Saleh Prince told New Age on Wednesday that Khaleda Zia is scheduled to arrive around 5:00pm and that they would give her a reception.
She along with her entourage flew to Saudi Arabia on September 7. Khaleda Zia was invited by Saudi King Salman Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud to perform hajj.
Her eldest son Tarique Rahman, also BNP senior vice-chairman, his wife Zubaida Rahman and daughter Zaima Rahman, and wife of Tarique’s younger brother late Arafat Rahman Koko, Sharmila Rahman, among others, flew from London to join Khaleda Zia in the pilgrimage.
Khaleda Zia and her family members also offered fateha at Rawjamubarak (grave) of Prophet Hazrat Mohammad (SM) and offered prayers at Masjid-e-Nabawi in Madinah.
