Two and a half months after being acquitted in a corruption case, BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia will go to London on November 8 for advanced treatment. Seven doctors from the medical board will accompany her.

Khaleda Zia's personal physician Professor Dr. AZM Zahid Hossain confirmed this information to reporters on Tuesday (October 29).

The seven doctors on the medical board formed to treat Khaleda Zia are Dr. Zahid, Dr. Shahabuddin, Dr. Arefin, Dr. Nur Uddin, Dr. FM Siddique, Dr. Zafar, and Dr. Mamun.

Dr. Zahid Hossain said that BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia will first go to London to see her son Tarique Rahman. She will be taken there by a specialized air ambulance. Later, from London, she will be taken to a third country and admitted to a 'multi-disciplinary medical center'.

79-year-old Khaleda Zia has been suffering from various complex diseases including arthritis, heart disease, lung, liver, kidney, and diabetes for a long time. She is receiving regular treatment at the private Evercare Hospital in the capital.

On August 9 last year, Khaleda Zia was admitted to Evercare Hospital in Dhaka. At that time, her family had requested the government to take her abroad for better treatment, but permission was not obtained. Later, three specialist doctors from the United States were brought in and the BNP Chairperson, who was suffering from liver cirrhosis, underwent surgery on her blood vessel on October 27. When her health stabilized somewhat, she returned home on January 11 this year after undergoing treatment for more than five months.

BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia was sentenced in two corruption cases and imprisoned on February 8, 2018. She was imprisoned for more than two years. In response to the family's appeal, the government suspended Khaleda Zia's sentence on March 25, 2020 and released her conditionally. Since then, the government has been extending the release period for six months consecutively. However, after the change of power, the interim government exempted her from the corruption case. 

BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has commented that the possibility of a new Bangladesh was created after independence in 1971, which was destroyed due to the failure of the Awami League.

He said these things at a greeting exchange program with the Hindu community on the occasion of Sharadia Durga Puja at the Ladies Club in the capital on Tuesday (October 29) afternoon.

The BNP Secretary General said that the possibility of a new Bangladesh was created after independence in 1971, which could not build a fair Bangladesh due to the failed leadership of the Awami League. After that, this party has destroyed the country in the last 15 years. We will work towards the goal of continuing the victory that is coming in the student-public movement.

BNP Standing Committee Member Dr. Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain said that the founder of our party Ziaur Rahman said that all those who live in the hills and plains of the country are Bangladeshis. In line with his statement, our leader Tarique Rahman said that there is no word to say minority, we are all Bangladeshis. He also said that everyone's religion belongs to their own country. In the changed environment that has been created in the country on August 5, let's all build the country together.

BNP Standing Committee Member Mirza Abbas said, I have a small question? In the area where I grew up, Shahjahanpur, one-fourth of Dhaka lives here. No Hindu in this area has any complaints about the BNP.

Mirza Abbas said, a few days ago, our party leaders guarded the temple during Durga Puja. What has happened recently that temples should be guarded? I am 75 years old and have never seen a temple guarded. No Muslim can destroy a temple. Those who are not Muslims destroy temples.

BNP Standing Committee Member Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury said, we do not believe in being a minority, we are all Bangladeshis. We want to make a rainbow nation with everyone. These are not slogans. The source of these words is nationalism.

Amir Khasru said, BNP nationalism comes from the basic consciousness. No one has the opportunity to question the philosophy and thoughts of BNP. The philosophy of Ziaur Rahman, Khaleda Zia and Tarique Rahman is as clear as day. We need to understand that many are becoming leaders by capitalizing on religion. They are creating discord among the nation and benefiting the party.

Two and a half months after being acquitted in a corruption case, BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia is going abroad for better treatment.

Khaleda Zia's personal physician Dr. AZM Zahid Hossain said this on Tuesday (October 29).

BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia will first go to London to see her son Tarique Rahman. She will be taken there by a specialized air ambulance. Later, from London, she will be taken to a third country and admitted to a 'multi-disciplinary medical center,' said doctor Dr. Zahid Hossain.

Commenting that there is peace in the country because there is no Sheikh Hasina, BNP standing committee member Mirza Abbas said that now we have to do Bangladesh minus Awami League because democracy can no longer run together.

He said that even though Sheikh Hasina fled, her cronies still remain. The country cannot move forward with those cronies. They are conspiring. However, if Jamaat and BNP work together in unity, Awami League will not be able to come again.

Mirza Abbas said this at a protest rally at the Engineers Institution in Ramna in the capital on Monday (October 28).

Stating that Jamaat and BNP should work together for the country’s interest, he said, Awami League is gone, we are happy after thinking about it. But there is no reason to be happy. Their cronies are still in Bangladesh’s politics, culture, secretariat, police, military—where, he said, their cronies remain.

The Awami League will never give up, claiming that a conspiracy is going on, the BNP leader said, in different ways, different systems are being introduced on us through different means. Today this theory comes, the day after tomorrow that theory comes. This theory unfortunately comes out of our mouths again.

BNP Chairperson's Advisor Abdus Salam said, the purpose for which the popular uprising took place is ebbing away due to various reasons. Unity between Jamaat and BNP must be strengthened to resist fascism. And national unity must be built so that the 14-party alliance cannot be politically rehabilitated in Bangladesh.

Abdus Salam also said, there may be differences between Jamaat and BNP for various reasons. But we must be united to prevent fascism. The two parties must unite before and after the elections.
