BNP senior leader and former minister Dr Abdul Moyeen Khan has said that serving in the cabinet of former prime minister Begum Khaleda Zia was the most significant and rewarding opportunity of his life. “A dignified and just prime minister like the late Begum Khaleda Zia may not come to Bangladesh again,” he said. Dr Moyeen Khan made the remarks while addressing a discussion and prayer meeting in her memory, organized by the Saudi Arabia-Bangladesh Chamber of Commerce and Industries (SABCCI) in Dhaka on Sunday. Recalling his experience working with Begum Khaleda Zia, Dr Moyeen Khan shared an emotional anecdote about being called to the prime minister’s Office after she had appointed a new secretary. Dr ANM Ehsanul Haque Milan said all the reforms in the education system during her tenure were driven by Begum Khaleda Zia.
