Visiting the ailing former prime minister and BNP Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia at the hospital on Saturday, Hasanat Abdullah, Chief Organiser (South) of the National Citizen Party (NCP), prayed that “Allah keeps her alive to witness Sheikh Hasina’s execution.”
Speaking to reporters, he alleged that during the Awami League government’s tenure, Khaleda Zia was not allowed to receive proper medical treatment in prison. “We heard that if any doctor wanted to treat her, they were harassed and intimidated,” he claimed.
Meanwhile, Dr Tasnim Jara, senior joint member-secretary of the party, said Khaleda Zia has always fought for the country by rising above all partisan interests.
She urged people of all political backgrounds to pray for her speedy recovery.
BNP Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia remains under close observation at the Coronary Care Unit (CCU) of Evercare Hospital in the capital, where physicians are monitoring her condition intensively.
She is responding to the treatment provided by the medical board, her personal physician Professor AZM Zahid Hossain said on Saturday.
“Alhamdulillah, her condition has remained stable for the last three days--27, 28 and 29 November. In medical terms, she is maintaining the treatment, meaning she can take the treatment the doctors are giving her,” he said.
