Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia may return home in mid-April, said UK BNP President MA Malek.

He disclosed the information to media after an iftar mahfil organised by Noakhali Nationalist Forum UK on Wednesday (March 19) evening (local time) in London to pray for the recovery of Khaleda Zia.

"Madam`s physicians are also preparing accordingly and are treating her in that way. However, there is also an issue with the flight. If that flight is not available on time, then it may take a day or two. But Madam is ready to go home," he said.

When asked about Tarique Rahman`s return to the country, he said they couldn’t say for sure yet about the time of the BNP`s acting chairman`s return to Bangladesh.

"He may return home a few days after Madam Khaleda Zia leaves London. I believe that two leaders will definitely not go at the same time," MA Malek added.
