BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia hosted an Iftar at a city hotel yesterday in the honour of political leaders.
Although Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was invited, none from the ruling Awami League or main opposition in parliament Jatiya Party attended the programme.
Despite there being rumours that the BNP might severe its decade-long political tie with Jamaat-e-Islami, most senior leaders of the Islamist party attended the Iftar.
Bikapadhara Bangladesh President AQM Baddruddoza Chowdhury attended programme at the Basundhara International Convention Center.
