A BNP delegation, led by party Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, has visited ailing Road, Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU).
Fakhrul—along with BNP standing committee members Moudud Ahmed and Dr Abdul Moyeen Khan—went to BSMMU around 9:50pm on Sunday.
They were received by the Awami League Organising Secretary AKM Enamul Haque Shamim and Assistant Office Secretary Biplob Barua, at the hospital.
Later, the visitors were taken to BSMMU's Coronary Care Unit (CCU) where the ailing minister is undergoing treatment.
Exiting the hospital, Moudud told the press that Quader was sedated and asleep.
He said: "We talked to his wife, and doctors who are treating of him, and enquired about his health condition.
"We pray to Allah for his [Quader's] quick recovery."
Moudud is an electoral rival of Quader as they have been contesting the national polls for Noakhali 5 constituency since 1991.
Quader, also general secretary of Awami League, was admitted to the CCU, in the morning, after he experienced breathing complications and the doctors, via an angiogram, discovered he had three blockages in his coronary artery.
