Indian Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar met with Pakistani Parliament Speaker Ayaz Sadiq in Dhaka. The two leaders also shook hands. They were attending the funeral of former Bangladesh Prime Minister Khaleda Zia. This is the first time since Operation Sindoor between India and Pakistan in May that senior leaders from both countries have met face-to-face and shaken hands. This meeting is considered diplomatically significant. Previously, during the Asia Cup cricket match, Team India refused to shake hands with Pakistani players, causing considerable controversy. Furthermore, even after winning the series, Team India refused to accept the trophy from ACC Chief Mohsin Naqvi. Mohsin Naqvi is the PCB Chief and a minister in the Pakistani government. One million people attended Khaleda Zia’s funeral. Earlier, Khaleda Zia was laid to rest at 5 pm today. Zia was buried in the Zia Udyan located in the Parliament complex, near the grave of her husband and former President of Bangladesh, Ziaur Rahman. One million people from across the country gathered to attend her funeral. Khaleda Zia passed away on Tuesday morning at the age of 80. She had been on a ventilator in the hospital for the past 20 days. The Bangladesh government has declared three days of national mourning following her death. During this period, the national flag will fly at half-mast on government buildings across the country, and all government programs will be postponed. 7 photos from Khaleda Zia’s funeral… Follow the live link below for updates on Khaleda Zia’s final farewell…
