Dhaka: Bangladesh Nationalist Party chairperson Khaleda Zia on Tuesday greeted Awami League President and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on the occasion of holy Eid-ul-Fitr through an eid card.

On behalf of the BNP chief, her party’s assistant office secretaries Asadul Karim Shahin and Shamimur Rahman Shamim handed over the eid card to AL president’s Dhanmondi office at about 11:00am.

Awami League leader Sikandar Ali received the card.

Earlier on Monday, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina greeted Khaleda by sending an eid card.

A protocol office of the Prime Minister handed over the card to Khaleda’s personal secretary Abdus Sattar at her Gulshan office, BNP sources said.

Reciprocating the gesture, Khaleda Zia also sent her eid card to Awami League President Sheikh Hasina, wishing her very happy Eid-ul-Fitr.

The chiefs of the country’s two major political parties greet each other during two Eids and Pahela Baishakh, though they have long been avoiding each other to personally meet or exchange pleasantries.
