A regular Emirates flight carrying her touched down at the Heathrow Airport at 7:15am local time on Wednesday.
Tarique, along with BNP’s UK unit chief MA Malek and Secretary Koysor Ahmed, received her at the VIP lounge, while hundreds of her supporters gathered outside the airport.
On the other hand, activists of the Awami League’s UK unit held a demonstration outside the Heathrow Airport.
Khaleda left Dhaka for UK on Tuesday night for a health check-up. She will return after spending the Eid-ul-Azha with Tarique’s family.
Tarique drove her to hotel Sofitel. She will move to another hotel later.
Khaleda would interact with the Bengali media and attend meetings of her party’s UK unit during her stay, Malek said.
She will meet community leaders at an Eid reception, he added.
