BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia left for Saudi Arabia last night on a 10-day visit during which she will have medical treatment and perform Umrah.
Before she left, she directed the party's Senior Joint Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, through her personal aide Shamsur Rahman Shimul Biswas, to carry out the responsibilities of secretary general. The post has fallen vacant due to the death of Khandaker Delwar Hossain.
“Madam [Khaleda] asked me to continue party activities as secretary general,” Alamgir, also a former state minister, told The Daily Star last night.
Asked whether he will be the acting secretary general of the party, the BNP leader said there is no provision for acting secretary general in the party constitution.
Her younger brother Shamim Iskander, his wife Kaniz Fatema and personal staffs are accompanying her.
