Mahi B Chowdhury has prayed for the complete recovery of former Prime Minister and BNP Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia.
He made this prayer through a status on his personal Facebook profile on Monday (January 6).
In his Facebook post, he wrote, 'Former Prime Minister Begum Khaleda Zia will soon be leaving for London for better treatment. Despite all the political differences and misunderstandings of the past, my heart is filled with an indescribable peace and satisfaction at the joy of this reunion. In some time, a mother will be reunited with her child, a kind grandmother with her beloved granddaughter and daughter-in-law. I am happy to imagine their first family dinner, where their atmosphere will be filled with laughter, joy, stories and memories.'
Recalling the pain of losing his father, he further mentioned, 'On October 5 last year, my father left us. In his moments of pain and illness, we saw that my presence and that of my sisters brought a smile to his face. He used to enjoy every moment of his old age in the presence of my mother and his grandchildren—sometimes by singing his favorite songs, sometimes by reciting his favorite poems. These simple moments, more than the great achievements of his life, made his the happiest person in the world.’
Regarding the BNP Chairperson’s long absence from her family, he said, ‘The fact that Begum Khaleda Zia has been kept away from her family for a long time is heartbreaking. Her separation is saddening because of the vengeance of the previous dictatorial regime. Politics may keep us apart, but I pray to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala that He grants our former Prime Minister a complete recovery and gives her the opportunity to enjoy every moment filled with laughter and joy with her loved ones.’
It is worth noting that on December 24, Mahi B Chowdhury had held a press conference claiming that the alliance with the Awami League was a mistake.
