Khaleda sends Eid greetings to Hasina
BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia yesterday sent an Eid greeting card to Sheikh Hasina addressing her as Awami League president, not prime minister.
On behalf of the BNP chief, a two-member team led by assistant office secretary of the party Abdul Latif Jony handed over the card to Hasina's political office at Dhanmondi.
Sources at the office confirmed The Daily Star that they got a greeting card from Khaleda in which Hasina was addressed as Awami League president.
Insiders of the BNP said Khaleda as well as BNP believe that Hasina has been leading an illegal government which came to power through "so-called" January 5 polls. So it is not possible for them to mention Hasina as the prime minister, said the leaders.
The two arch-rivals have not come face-to-face for a long time. On October 26 last year, Hasina had invited Khaleda to Gono Bhaban over the phone to discuss polls-time government.
