Khaleda’s condition very critical: Fakhrul
BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir today voiced grave concern over the life of his party Chairperson Khaleda Zia and said her health condition is very critical and she might not recover.
“Khaleda Zia’s condition is very critical now and there is a possibility that she might not recover,” Fakhrul said while talking to reporters after placing wreaths at the grave of the party founder Ziaur Rahman in Sher-e-Banglanagar area of Dhaka this noon.
Fakhrul flanked by a good number of leaders and activists of the party’s youth front Jatiyatabadi Jubo Dal marking its 41st founding anniversary.
“Khaleda Zia will take treatment according to her own wills if she gets bail, but the government is denying her bail with an ill motive,” the BNP leader said.
Khaleda has been in jail since she was convicted in Zia Orphanage Trust corruption case on February 8 last year.
She was found guilty in another corruption case later the same year, though her party claims both cases are politically motivated.
The BNP chief has been receiving treatment at the Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) since April 1 this year.
Since then, BNP has been claiming that the health condition of their party chief has deteriorated alarmingly and called upon its party men to take to the street as only an alternative to free her from jail.
Khaleda Zia’s elder sister Selima Islam on Friday met her at BSMMU and told the reporters that the family members want to take her (Khaleda) abroad on bail as she needs better treatment on an emergency basis.
“It will not wise to state that her health condition is bad, rather it is critical and her life is under threat,” Fakhrul said.
“You (people) see Khaleda Zia was healthy when she was taking at the BSMMU for treatment. But now she cannot rise from her bed, walk alone and take food on her own,” he said adding that Khaleda Zia will not be treated at the BSMMU properly.
Earlier on October 1, BNP lawmakers including Harunur Rashid, Ukil Abdus Sattar and Aminul Islam met Khaleda Zia at the BSMMU and expressed their party chief’s willingness to go abroad for better treatment if she gets bail.
