Political arch rivals Sheikh Hasina and Khaleda Zia should maintain regular social relations in order to improve the political culture in Bangladesh. That is the opinion of the members of the civil society including singers, development activists and researchers. An amiable relationship between the two top politicians will be a positive signal to leaders and activists of their parties, which will help prevent conflicts across the country, they said. Khaleda Zia went to Shudha Sadon to meet the prime minister, following her husband's death. It was a sad occasion but people were happy to see Begum Zia embracing her main political rival.
