Chief Adviser (CA) Muhammad Yunus on Friday sent a flower bouquet to BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia, extending warm wishes on her birthday.
"The Chief Adviser has sent a bouquet for Madam (Khaleda) on Friday afternoon. His officials delivered it to her residence in Gulshan," said BNP Standing Committee member AZM Zahid Hossain.
Zahid also said, "She (Khaleda Zia) does not host any celebrations herself, but our party is holding milad and doa mahfils across the country."
The bouquet was handed over to Khaleda Zia's private secretary ABM Abdus Sattar at 4pm by the CA's Private Secretary Shazeeb Khairul Islam and Director of the CA's office Nazmul Islam.
BNP Executive Committee member Belayet Hossain, Media Cell member Sayrul Kabir Khan and officers from the Chairperson's personal wing, including Masud Rahman, were also present.
Earlier on Thursday, the Chinese Embassy in Dhaka sent a floral bouquet on behalf of the Chinese Ambassador to the BNP chief to mark her birthday.
Born on August 15, 1945, in Dinajpur, Khaleda Zia served three terms as Prime Minister of Bangladesh and became the country's first female Prime Minister in 1991.
The BNP organised a milad and doa mahfil at its central office in Nayapaltan and another at Khaleda Zia's Gulshan office on the occasion of her 81st birthday.
In addition to the central programme in Dhaka, similar events were held in mosques, orphanages, and madrasas across the country, praying for Khaleda Zia's good health and long life, as well as for the eternal peace of those martyred during the 1971 Liberation War, the 1990 democratic movement, and the 2024 mass uprising.
