Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader today visited ailing Jatiya Party Chairman HM Ershad at the Combined Military Hospital (CMH) in Dhaka.

Ershad's brother GM Quader, also the party's acting chairman, and secretary general Moshiur Rahman Ranga were present, party sources told The Daily Star.

The health condition of Ershad, now undergoing treatment at the CMH, remained unchanged, his brother GM Quader said today.

"Infections in his lungs have eased but infections in kidneys have increased. His overall condition remains unchanged," he said.

Asked whether he will be put on life support, GM Quader said Ershad is not in such a bad condition for which he needs life support.

Ershad was given oxygen support as his health condition deteriorated again on Sunday.
