BNP chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia has arrived in Cox’s Bazar by road to see the plight of Rohingyas who fled from Myanmar’s Rakhine State. She started her journey from Chittagong to Cox’s Bazar on Sunday morning at 11am.
Meanwhile, thousands of people, including BNP activists have gathered at Chittagong-Cox’s Bazar highway to see Khaleda Zia and to give a warm floral reception.
They had to stand on both sides of the road to see Khaleda Zia since morning on Sunday.
Khaleda Zia has been welcomed by the BNP leaders and activists who were shouting slogans since morning on the main road of Patiya, Chandanaish, and Satkania and Lohagara upazilas, Chakaria, Eidgong, Kalir Chara, Joarianala, Ramu,Banglabazar,link Road,Coxsbazar etc..
Khaleda Zia came to Cox’s Bazar aftermath of the attack on the Ramu Buddhist temple in 2012. Since then, BNP chairperson did not come to Cox’s Bazar. On that day she came to Cox’s Bazar by road from Chittagong and exchanged views with people of Chakaria, Pekua in the Chakaria Bus Terminal. Former minister Salahuddin Ahmed was present in that meeting. Khaleda Zia is coming to Cox’s Bazar today. But Cox’s Bazar BNP’s Guardian, whom she had rewarded as a minister from Cox’s Bazar is not available here.thats why today there are enthusiasm among the leaders as well as the depression also prevailing simultaneously. The affliction of losing something is visible in their eyes. Many leaders of Cox’s Bazar BNP think that Salahuddin’s absence is irreparable. Others believe that today except Salahuddin Ahmed they are helpless.
Although sources said, BNP’s Standing Committee member Salahuddin Ahmed, who is staying in Meghalaya, is regularly communicating with local leaders of Cox’s Bazar.
