Begum Khaleda Zia, Chairperson of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), is a pivotal figure in Bangladesh’s political history, celebrated for her unwavering commitment to democracy and resilience in the face of adversity. Serving three terms as Prime Minister, her leadership significantly shaped the country’s economic, political, and social landscape.
Early Life and Political Entry
Born on August 15, 1945, in Dinajpur, Khaleda Zia transitioned from a private life to politics after the tragic assassination of her husband, President Ziaur Rahman, in 1981. Joining the BNP, founded by her husband, she rapidly ascended to leadership, becoming the party’s Chairperson in 1984.
Leadership and Achievements
Khaleda Zia played a vital role in restoring democracy after years of autocratic rule, becoming Bangladesh’s first female Prime Minister in 1991 and the second female prime minister in the Islamic world. Her tenure (1991–1996, 2001–2006) saw significant milestones:
Economic Growth: Her administration emphasized industrialization, foreign investment, and textile exports.
Education Reforms: She introduced free secondary education for girls, improving female literacy and gender parity.
Infrastructure Development: Her government prioritized roads, bridges, and power plants, enhancing connectivity and energy access.
Healthcare and Women Empowerment: She improved rural healthcare and initiated programs to boost women’s education and workforce participation.
Recognition and Legacy
In 2011, the New Jersey State Senate honored Khaleda Zia as the “Mother of Democracy” in Bangladesh, acknowledging her lifelong dedication to democratic principles. This recognition paralleled the respect accorded to leaders like Nelson Mandela.
Challenges and Imprisonment
Her rivalry with Sheikh Hasina of the Awami League led to frequent political instability. In 2018, Khaleda Zia was imprisoned on controversial corruption charges, viewed by many as politically motivated. Her incarceration drew criticism from international organizations advocating for democratic fairness.
Conclusion
Khaleda Zia’s journey from widow to three-time Prime Minister epitomizes resilience and determination. Her policies laid the groundwork for Bangladesh’s progress, and her dedication to democracy and social development has inspired generations. Despite adversities, her legacy as the “Mother of Democracy” endures, marking her as one of Bangladesh’s most influential leaders.
