Khaleda Zia, the first woman prime minister of Bangladesh and the second in the Muslim world, dominated national politics for decades, largely in rivalry with Hasina, the chief of the Awami League.
Former Bangladesh prime minister Sheikh Hasina on Tuesday expressed condolences over the death of her arch-rival and BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia, calling her passing a “profound loss” to the country’s political life.
“As Bangladesh’s first woman prime minister and a key figure in the struggle to establish democracy, her contributions to the nation were significant and will be remembered,” Hasina said in a condolence message.
