‘Khaleda’s physical condition not in danger’

Staff Correspondent: Brig Gen Abdullah Al Harun, Director of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), said BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia’s physical condition is not under any danger at present.

The BSMMU director told this to reporters at the BSMMU on Sunday.

“The five-member medical board suggested the BNP chief be admitted to the BSMMU,” Abdullah Al Harun, who led the medical team, told the reporters.

Doctors also found Khaleda is ill, however, she did not develop any new illness after she was jailed, said the BSMMU director.

Earlier around 3:30pm on Saturday, a five-member medical team entered the Dhaka old central jail to check up health condition of BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia.

Amid the growing demand of BNP to ensure proper treatment for its chief, a fresh medical board was formed by the government incorporating five experienced doctors from Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU).

On February 8 last, a Dhaka court convicted Khaleda Zia and sentenced her five years rigorous imprisonment in Zia Orphanage Trust graft case. Since then, she has been in old central jail on Nazimuddin road.
