Ershad’s condition unchanged, don’t spread rumour

Senior Correspondent: The physical condition of Jatiya Party (JaPa) Chairman HM Ershad, who is undergoing treatment at Combined Military Hospital (CMH) in Dhaka, has remained unchanged.

Acting Chairman of Jatiya Party and his brother GM Quader said this at a press conference on Monday.

In responding to a question about the Ershad’s dead or alive, GM Quader said “His lungs infections have eased but the kidney is in serious condition. His overall condition remains unchanged”.

Asked whether he will be put on life support, GM Quader said Ershad is not in such a bad condition for which he needs life support. But he was given oxygen support as his health condition deteriorated again on Sunday.

On June 27, Ershad was admitted to Combined Military Hospital (CMH) in Dhaka. He was being treated there for several infections.

Over the last nine months, the former military ruler has been suffering from various health-related issues.
