The government formally handed over the mutation documents of BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia’s Gulshan house, allocated by the state 44 years ago, to her on Wednesday night.
Housing and Public Works Adviser Adilur Rahman Khan and RAJUK Chairman personally delivered the mutation papers to Khaleda Zia at her residence at around 9pm, said a BNP leader close to the party chairperson.
Housing and Public Works Secretary Nazrul Islam and Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha (RAJUK) Chairman Riazul Islam were also present.

Contacted, BNP Chairperson’s personal secretary ABM Abdus Sattar said the adviser and other officials stayed for about half an hour during their courtesy visit to the BNP chairperson.
“The adviser brought some documents and handed them over to Madam (Khaleda),” he said.
Sattar, however, said he is not certain what the documents pertain to.
The house, built on 1.5 bighas of land in Dhaka’s Gulshan area, was allotted to Khaleda following the death of her husband President Ziaur Rahman in 1981.
