UNB, Dhaka :
BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia on Monday invited her arch rival Awami League President and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to her iftar party scheduled for June 11.
The BNP chairperson will host the iftar party in honour of political leaders at the city’s Bashundhara International Convention Centre. A four-member BNP delegation, led by its
organising secretary Ruhul Kuddus Talukder Dulu, went to Awami League President Sheikh Hasina’s Dhanmondi political office at noon with an invitation card of the iftar party on behalf of Khaleda Zia. Awami League deputy office secretary Mrinal Kanti Das received the invitation card on behalf of Sheikh Hasina, now in Saudi Arabia. The other members of the delegation are BNP organising secretary Imran Saleh Prince, assistant organising secretary Akhan Kuddus Rahman and assistant office secretary Asadul Kaim Shaheen.
Talking to reporter, Dulu said, “The BNP chairperson invited Awami League President Sheikh Hasina to her iftar party to be held on June 11. We’ve carried the card there. We hope she’ll join it.”
He said, their party also invited 12 others ruling party leaders, including its general secretary Syed Ashraful Islam, to attend the iftar. The BNP leader also said Khaleda Zia is going to host four iftar parties-for orphans and Alem Ulema on the first day of Ramzan, for politicians on June 11, for professionals June 12 and for diplomats on June 13- during this fasting month. The chiefs of the country’s two major political parties greet each other during the two Eids and Pahela Baishakh, and invite each other to their iftar parties every year though they have long been avoiding each other to personally meet or exchange pleasantries.
