BNP's acting Chairperson Tarique Rahman, who returned to Dhaka after 17 years last week, paid tribute to his mother and ex-Bangladeshi PM Khaleda Zia after her demise. "To me, she was a...loving mother who devoted her entire life to Bangladesh," he said. "For the country, she lost her husband," said Tarique while referring to ex-President Ziaur Rahman, who was assassinated.
