Access to both the airport and Khaleda’s residence will be restricted, even for party leaders, said Rizvi.

On Saturday night, BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said Khaleda is feeling better after receiving advanced treatment in London. He urged supporters and journalists not to crowd the roads and requested the public to use the elevated expressway to avoid traffic congestion.

Khaleda flew to London on January 8. She was admitted to the London Clinic for 17 days under the care of Professor Patrick Kennedy and Professor Jennifer Cross, and since January 25, has been staying at Tarique Rahman’s residence for continued care.

ZUBAIDA RETURNS AFTER 17 YEARS

Zubaida is also returning to Dhaka after 17 years. She plans to stay at her father’s Dhanmondi residence, Mahbub Bhaban, with her ailing mother.

Zubaida left Dhaka with Tarique and daughter Zaima on September 11, 2008.

BNP leaders said preparations are underway at the house, which belonged to her father, former Navy chief Rear Admiral Mahbub Ali Khan.

“We’re making all necessary arrangements, including decoration, CCTV installation, and utility checks,” said a BNP official.
