Dhaka: Bangladesh Nationalist Party chairperson Khaleda Zia on Saturday sent an Eid-ul-Azha greeting card to Awami League President and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. 

BNP chairperson’s office media wing member Shayrul Kabir Khan said, ‘On behalf of the BNP chief, her party’s assistant office secretaries Abdul Latif Jony, Asadul Karim Shahin and Shamimur Rahman Shamim handed over the Eid card to AL president’s Dhanmondi office in the morning.’

Earlier on Thursday, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina sent Eid-ul-Azha greeting cards to Opposition Leader Raushon Ershad and BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia.

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.
