Begum Khaleda Zia died at 6 am today (December 30). Begum Khaleda Zia was admitted to Evercare Hospital in the capital on November 23. She has been undergoing treatment there since then.
\nWhen she went to Evercare, the leaders and activists broke down in tears after hearing the news of Khaleda Zia\u2019s death. Some were seen falling to the ground crying. Some leaders and activists were crying profusely. One of them lamented, \u2018My mother has left the land of Bengal. O land of Bengal, what have you lost!\u2019 What will Bangladesh lose!\u2019
\nIn a tearful voice, BNP candidate for Dhaka-9 constituency, Dhaka Metropolitan BNP leader and former General Secretary of Chhatra Dal Habibur Rashid Habib said, \u201cThe people of Bangladesh dreamed of democracy because of Khaleda Zia. Ever since she was admitted to the hospital due to illness, the people of the country have been praying for her.
\nHe also said, \u201cWe hope that Khaleda Zia\u2019s dream of building a country will be fulfilled by the hand of patriot Tarique Rahman. This is my prayer to the countrymen.\u201d Khaleda Zia fell ill after returning home after the Armed Forces Day celebrations on November 21. Her breathing problems increased. In this condition, she was taken to the capital’s Evercare Hospital on an emergency basis on November 23. Uncompromising leader Khaleda Zia was active in politics for more than four decades. At the time of her death, the leader was 80 years old. She was the wife of former Bangladesh President Shaheed Ziaur Rahman.
