Dhaka, 30 December 2025: Awami League President Sheikh Hasina’s son Sajeeb Wazed Joy has expressed deep shock over the death of former Prime Minister of Bangladesh and BNP Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia. He posted a condolence message in both Bengali and English on his social media.

Joy wrote in his post: “I express my deepest condolences to the bereaved family members on the death of BNP Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia. At this critical moment in the country, when the common people are suffering from lack of security and there are attempts to destabilize and depoliticize the country, her passing will have a profound impact on Bangladesh’s path to progress.”

Despite being a victim of various depoliticization processes in the past, he has achieved numerous successes in his long political career and set several important policies for the country.

His contribution to nation-building will be remembered forever; however, his death is a major setback in the efforts to stabilize Bangladesh today.

“My heartfelt condolences to his many supporters and well-wishers.”

It is worth noting that Khaleda Zia passed away at Evercare Hospital in Dhaka this morning. Her death has cast a shadow of grief over the country’s political arena. Earlier, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi also expressed deep condolences. This condolence message from Sajeeb Wazed Joy is being seen as an example of compassion even amidst a long-standing political rivalry.
