Fakhrul: Khaleda likely to return home this week

Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) Chairperson Khaleda Zia is likely to return home this week after completing her treatment in London, Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, secretary general of BNP, announced on Saturday. "She (Khaleda) will return home very soon. I hope she is coming home this week," the BNP leader said while talking to reporters at the party's central office in Nayapaltan, Dhaka. However, he denied announcing any specific date of Khaleda’s homecoming. Party insiders said the BNP chief is taking preparation to return home either on October 17 or October 18. Besides, a Comilla court and two others issued arrest warrants for Khaleda last week in three separate cases. Khaleda went to London on July 15 for receiving treatment and spending time with her family members there. The BNP chief underwent a successful eye surgery at a hospital in London on August 8. She also celebrated Eid-ul-Azha with her family members there.
