History

This house was located at No. 6, Shaheed Mainul Road, Dhaka Cantonment, Dhaka, Bangladesh. [5] This house was used as the family residence of Ziaur Rahman, the former president of Bangladesh. [6] After Ziaur Rahman's assassination in 1981, the house was leased for a long period to his wife Khaleda Zia. [7] [8] Ziaur Rahman used to work from this house while he was the army chief. [9] From the Jail Killing Day of 3 November 1975 to the historic 7 November 1975 Bangladeshi coup d'état, he was under house arrest while staying in this house. After that, he was freed from this house as a result of the Sipahi–Janata Revolution and moved to the center of power. He also used to work from this house while he was the president from 1977 to 1981. He did not live in Bangabhaban. [10]

Lease

After independence, Khaleda Zia moved into house number 6 on Shaheed Moinul Road with her husband Ziaur Rahman as Adjutant General from 1972. When Rahman was killed in a failed military coup in Chittagong on May 30, 1981, on June 12, the then interim President Abdus Sattar allotted the house in the cantonment in Khaleda Zia's name. [11]

Begum Zia lived in this house for 38 years from 1972 to 2010. [12] From this house, which is associated with the memory of her husband, she led the anti-dictatorship movement against then president Hussain Muhammad Ershad in the 1990s. She was then elected the first female Prime Minister of Bangladesh in 1991. She also lived in this house when she was elected Prime Minister in the 1996 and 2001 elections. She served as Prime Minister three times from this house. She never moved to Ganabhaban, official residence of Prime Minister of Bangladesh. [13]

After Sheikh Hasina came to power in the 2008 elections, she was forcibly evicted from this house on Shaheed Mainul Road on November 13, 2010. [14] [15] [16]

Khaleda Zia's ouster

On November 13, 2010, Khaleda Zia was forcibly evicted from this house by the government and military authorities. [17] [18] Her lease was cancelled on the orders of the Cantonment Board and the government. During the eviction operation, RAB and police were deployed and she was evicted from the house by breaking down the main gate and breaking the door. [19] [20]

Later, during the COVID-19 pandemic, she was released from the hospital under special conditions by the Awami League government and returned to his 'Firoza' house in Gulshan. [21] [22]

Speaking at a meeting in London in October 2023, then Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina made this remark:

(…) I promised that day that I would never have to live in that cantonment again. I would get out the day I got the time. I got out. [23]

Destruction and reconstruction

After the eviction, this historic house was completely demolished. [24] In its place, a modern multi-storey building was constructed, which is used as the residence of the officials of the Bangladesh Army. [25]
