Khaleda spends quality time with relatives in Eid

BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia spent around two hours with her relatives and took food they cooked for her on the Eid-ul-Fitr day on Wednesday. Seven relatives of the BNP chief went to meet her at cabin No-621 of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) around 1pm with some cooked food, new clothes and flowers, Khaleda's media wing member Shamsuddin Didar told UNB.

She has been receiving treatment at the BSMMU for various physical problems since April 1 last.  

The relatives who met the BNP chief are her sister Selina Islam, Selina's husband Prof Rafiqul Islam, sister-in-law Nasrin Iskandar (her late brother Sayeed Iskander's wife), nephew Ovik Iskandar (brother Shamim Iskandar's son), granddaughter Tamanna Hauqe (her nephew Saiful Islam Duke's daughter), Tarique Rahman's sister-in-law Sahina Zaman Bindu and Arafat Rahman Koko's mother-in-law Mukrema Khatun.

Didar said the relatives took polao, chicken roast, mutton, different fish curries, vermicelli cooked with milk, some sweetmeats, milk and fruits for Khaleda Zia.

He said they came out of Khaleda's cabin around 2:50pm after meeting her and passing good time with her. Wishing anonymity, one of the relatives who met Khaleda, said they wished the BNP chief Eid Mubarak by presenting her a bouquet and roses.
