The Arakan Rohingya National Alliance conveys its profound sorrow at the passing of former Prime Minister of Bangladesh, Khaleda Zia. Her death is a deeply sad moment for the nation and for all who recognized her long years of public service and leadership.
Begum Khaleda Zia was a significant figure in Bangladesh’s political history. Over the course of her career as Prime Minister and national leader, she shaped important chapters of the country’s democratic and political life. Her role as one of Asia’s leading women in politics will remain part of her lasting legacy.
On behalf of the Rohingya people and our broader community, the Arakan Rohingya National Alliance extends its heartfelt condolences to her family, loved ones, and close associates, as well as to the people of Bangladesh as they mourn this loss. We stand in sympathy with all those who grieve her passing.
We offer our prayers for the peace of her departed soul and for strength, patience, and comfort for her family and all those affected during this time of mourning.
