DCAB mourns Khaleda Zia's death

Diplomatic Correspondents Association, Bangladesh (DCAB) expresses its profound sorrow at the passing of Begum Khaleda Zia, three-time former Prime Minister of Bangladesh, a symbol of the country’s democratic movement, and Chairperson of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP).

DCAB notes that her historic role in the struggle to establish democracy, uphold a multi-party political culture, and safeguard the rights of the people of Bangladesh will be remembered with deep respect and gratitude.

Through her uncompromising leadership, the nation was repeatedly steered away from undemocratic rule during critical moments in its history, it added.

The nation will forever remember her significant contributions to the country and its democratic institutions with honour.

DCAB extends its heartfelt sympathy and deepest condolences to the bereaved family members, relatives, and well-wishers of Begum Khaleda Zia during this time of profound grief.

DCAB prays for strength and solace for her loved ones as they mourn this irreplaceable loss.

With her passing, an era of strong, female-led political leadership in Bangladesh draws to a close. May her soul rest in eternal peace.

DCAB President AKM Moinuddin and General Secretary Md. Arifuzzaman Mamun jointly signed the condolence message.
