Awami League (AL) President Sheikh Hasina and BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia exchanged greetings at a reception on the occasion of the Armed Forces Day at Senakunja at Dhaka cantonment yesterday evening.
The two, in smiles, enquired about each other’s welfare standing on the lawn of the Senakunja at about 7:10pm. Guests attending the function cheered–some by clapping–at the sight of their exchanging pleasantries.
Flanked by Chief Adviser Fakhruddin Ahmed and chiefs of the three services, both Hasina and Khaleda looked quite cheerful.
Hasina, clad in a cream colour sari, arrived at Senakunja at 7:00am. After a while, Khaleda wearing an off-white siphon turned up.
As the BNP chairperson entered the reception venue, the AL president approached her and shook hands.
After talking for about five minutes, they took seats reserved on the left and right side of the chief adviser and the president.
Chief Adviser Fakhruddin Ahmed talked to the two leaders after the president’s speech.
The archrivals, who were in makeshift jail in the parliament building complex in connection with graft cases, were released on bail recently as election process restarted in the country.
Both the leaders are poised to fight yet another round of battle of ballots next month.
