BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia is likely to go to the United Kingdom in the second week of August to meet her elder son Tarique Rahman, who has been living in London for ‘medical treatment’ since 2008.
They are likely to discuss current political situation of the country, party insiders say.
It will be their first meeting since Khaleda’s younger son Arafat Rahman died of cardiac arrest in January this year.
A senior leader of the party said though the visit would be a personal one, it would also have a huge political implication.
“Discussion about reorganising the party after failed movement against the government may take place. There can also be some changes in the party high commands,” he said adding that the exact date for Khaleda’s tour was yet to be fixed but she might fly in the second week of August.
The mother and the son were scheduled to meet for Umrah in Saudi Arabia during the last Ramadan but the reunion fell through as Khaleda cancelled the visit in the last moment.
Earlier in 2014 the duo met during Umrah and stayed in Saudi Arabia for over a week.
