Bangladesh’s opposition chief and former premier Khaleda Zia on Monday broke down as she visited her younger son’s grave for the first time and offered prayers, over two months after his death in Malaysia.
The 69-year-old Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) chairperson’s visit to the grave of Arafat Rahman Koko came a day after she surrendered in a special anti-graft court that granted her bail in two corruption cases involving over $650,000. She was accompanied by many leaders and activists of her party when she went to the Banani Graveyard here.
