BNP’s assistant office secretary Abdul Latif Jony last night visited Salahuddin Ahmed at a Shillong hospital in the Meghalaya state of India.

Talking to BBC Bangla in India, Jony said Salahuddin complained to him that the BNP leader was not getting proper treatment at the Shillong Civil Hospital.

BNP’s joint secretary general, who had remained missing for about two months, was found in Shillong on Monday. He was immediately admitted to a mental hospital from where he was shifted the civil hospital under police custody for trespass.

Jony, who had already Indian visa, is the first leader of the party whom BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia and Salahuddin’s family sent to Shillong on Wednesday, said the party and family sources.

“He reached Shillong on Wednesday by air and met Salahuddin on Thursday night,” a relative of Salahuddin in Dhaka told The Daily Star.

He, however, did not give any more detail.

The Daily Star correspondent called on Jony’s mobile number but he did not answer.

Meanwhile, two relatives met him at the prison cell of Shillong Civil Hospital yesterday afternoon.
