BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia is likely to fly to London tomorrow for her treatment and to meet her elder son Tarique Rahman, who has been living there for “treatment” since 2008.
It will be their first meeting since Khaleda’s younger son Arafat Rahman died in January.
“She [Khaleda] was scheduled to go earlier, but could not due to political reasons. Party leaders requested her to celebrate Eid with her family members in London,” BNP leader Nazrul Islam Khan told reporters yesterday.
At the meeting, Khaleda warned everyone that committees should be formed only with dedicated leaders, party sources said. The party leaders also demanded withdrawal of VAT on private tertiary education at the meeting.
