BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Sunday threatened to wage a one-point movement seeking the fall of the government if Khaleda Zia is not allowed to go abroad for treatment.
“Our leader Khaleda Zia has been staying in a hospital with critical health problems. Doctors are saying it’s now essential for her to receive treatment abroad but that permission is not given,” he said
Speaking at a discussion, the BNP leader urged the government to take necessary steps so that the BNP chief can receive treatment in any advanced centre outside the country.
“We would like to say Begum Khaleda Zia be released immediately and given a scope to get treatment abroad. Otherwise, they‘ll have to face a one-point oust-government movement,” Fakhrul warned.
BNP’s national committee on celebrating the Golden Jubilee of the country’s independence arranged the program, marking the 45th death anniversary of great national leader Moulana Abdul Hamid Khan Bhashani.
Fakhrul recalled Bhashani’s lifelong struggle for ensuring the rights of common and working people and said Bhashani is also one of the key leaders who played a major role in liberating the country.
Speaking at the program, BNP standing committee member Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain said people have been living in suffocating conditions. “People have got fed-up with the government as there is no democracy now and voting and other rights in the country.”
He alleged that Khaleda has been pushed towards death by sending her to jail “for no reason”.
The BNP leader urged all to get united for ousting the current government through a mass movement.
BNP standing committee members Nazrul Islam Khan, Selima Rahman, Iqbal Hasan Mahmud Tuku, Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal president ASM Abdur Rob, Nagorik Oikya convener Mahmudur Rahman Manna and Biplobi Workers Party general secretary Saiful Haque, among others, spoke at the program.
Earlier in the day, Khaleda’s personal physician Dr AZM Zahid Hossain said that her health was still critical.
He also clarified that she had not been diagnosed with liver cirrhosis. “The BNP chief has been suffering from liver problems alongside kidney and cardiac ones.
“Madam’s condition is the same as before. There is no noticeable change in her condition. We neither can call it a slight improvement, nor stable. In a word, she is still in a critical condition,” Zahid told UNB.
Syeda Sharmila Rahman Sithi, the wife of Khaleda’s deceased son Arafat Rahman Coco, has been taking care of her at the hospital.
