BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia has reached the Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (HSIA) in Dhaka to travel to London for advanced treatment.
She reached the HSIA around 10:50pm on Tuesday.
Earlier, the former prime minister left her Gulshan residence ‘Feroza’ around 8:15pm along with her entourage, including six doctors of her medical team.
The BNP chief was scheduled to depart from the airport at 10pm.
Earlier in the day, thousands of leaders and activists of her party gathered outside her Gulshan residence to bid her farewell.
The BNP leaders and activists filled the streets near her home, showing deep love, affection and support for their beloved ailing 79-year-old leader, who has been battling serious health issues.
Emotions ran high as many supporters were chanting slogans, expressing their well-wishes for Khaleda’s recovery.
The scene outside her residence was marked by both solidarity and concern, as her supporters gathered in large numbers to see her off ahead of her flight to London, where she will receive advanced medical care at The London Clinic.
