Jamaat-e-Islami sent seasonal fruits, including mangoes and litchis, as gifts to BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia and its acting chairman Tarique Rahman.
The party`s Ameer, Shafiqur Rahman, dispatched the fruits to Khaleda Zia`s Gulshan office last night. The delivery, made by his representative Golam Mawla around 9:00pm, was confirmed by Khaleda`s media wing member Shamsuddin Didar.
ABM Abdus Sattar, the personal secretary to the BNP chairperson, received the fruits.
Recently, there has been a noticeable gap between BNP and Jamaat, especially after BNP dissolved the 20-party alliance to carry out a simultaneous movement with various other parties, including some left-leaning ones.
BNP is now working to bridge this gap and unite both right and left-leaning parties to take to the streets with renewed vigour against the government.
Jamaat`s gesture of sending fruit gifts to BNP`s leadership indicates a potential renewal of ties between the two parties.
