BNP Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia will celebrate the upcoming Eid-ul-Fitr with her family members in London after more than six years.

The former Prime Minister had celebrated the Eid-ul-Azha with her family in London in 2017 last.

She is now at her eldest son and BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman's residence in London where her daughter-in-law Zubaida Rahman, younger son late Arafat Rahman Koko's wife and three granddaughters are there to celebrate the festival with her.

BNP Standing Committee Members Abdul Moyeen Khan and Prof AZM Zahid Hossain will be in London for Eid, party's media cell member Shairul Kabir Khan told BSS.

Begum Zia went to London last January for treatment. She last went to London for treatment in 2017. At that time, she stayed at Tarique Rahman's house for three months and celebrated Eid-ul-Azha with her family members.

After that, she did not celebrate Eid with her family members as she was in prison for a long time.

BNP Chairperson went to London last January for advanced treatment. From January 8 to 24, she was undergoing treatment at the London Clinic. After that, she is receiving treatment and staying at Tarique Rahman's house.

Zahid Hossain said Begum Zia is receiving treatment at home under the London Clinic's Professors Patrick Kennedy and Jennifer Cross. In addition, members of the medical team formed for her treatment are constantly monitoring her health condition and providing necessary treatment.

He said after Eid-ul-Fitr, Begum Zia can return to Bangladesh any day in April on the advice of the medical team.

However, the entire matter depends on the permission of the medical team, he said, adding Tarique Rahman will also return to the country soon.

The 79-year-old former Premier Begum Zia has been suffering from various physical ailments for a long time.

Meanwhile, the party's Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir will celebrate Eid in Dhaka. On Eid day, the Secretary General will go to extend greetings at the invitation of the Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus.

Earlier, in the morning, he will pay homage to Shaheed President Ziaur Rahman at his mausoleum along with the leaders of the party's standing committee.
