In a major political development, former Bangladesh Prime Minister Khaleda Zia has passed away at the age of 80 after a prolonged illness. India Today’s Shivani Sharma reports that Zia died at Dhaka’s Evercare Hospital, where she had been on ventilator support. Her death comes just days after her son, Tarique Rahman, returned to Bangladesh from a 17-year exile to lead the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) as its acting chairman. The report highlights the potential ‘sympathy wave’ for the BNP ahead of the upcoming elections, especially with the Awami League barred from contesting. Shivani Sharma also discusses the evolving political landscape and the challenges of restoring stability in the country.
