Book on Khaleda Zia's life, story released

A book on BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia’s political life has been released in Dhaka on Sunday (Nov 18).

The Universal Academy has published the book, ‘Begum Khaleda Zia: Her Life, Her Story’, by Mahfuz Ullah.

Journalist Mahfuz Ullah authored the 718-page book, which is priced at Tk 2,000.

Dhaka University’s Professor Laila Noor Islam and Prof Asif Nazrul, former ambassador M Anwar Hashim, and New Age Editor Nurul Kabir discussed the book at the event.

Khaleda, the wife of late president Ziaur Rahman, joined politics in the beginning of the 1980s after the killing of the former army chief.

After the ouster of HM Ershad, Khaleda won the 1991 elections to become the first female prime minister of Bangladesh.

She was jailed for total 17 years in two corruption cases earlier this year.

Book on Khaleda came days after the premiere of a documentary film with untold stories of her archrival Sheikh Hasina’s life.
