BNP to hold rallies Monday demanding Khaleda's treatment abroad

BNP will hold rallies across the country, including the capital, on Monday, demanding the immediate release of 'critically' ill Khaleda Zia for better treatment abroad.

Party Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir announced the programme on Saturday afternoon while concluding their hunger-strike programme in front of BNP's Nayapaltan central office, reports UNB.

He said their party's all units of metropolitan cities and district towns and Upazila headquarters will hold rallies on Monday.

In the capital, he said, the rally will be held in front of the Jatiya Press Club at 10:00am.

"We'll come up with the same demand in the rallies. If our demand is not met by the time, we'll announce more programmes and free her and ensure her treatment abroad," Fakhrul said.

Khaleda Zia, a 76-year-old former prime minister, was readmitted to Evercare Hospital on November 13, six days after she had returned home from the hospital.

The BNP chief's physicians said she has been suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, ophthalmological and dental complications.

They also said Khaleda needs advanced treatment abroad immediately as she is also suffering from critical cardiac, kidney problems while her blood sugar is out of control and hemoglobin level in her blood has dropped.

On behalf of the family, Khaleda's younger brother, Shamim Iskander, submitted an application to the Home Ministry on November 11 urging the government to allow her to go abroad for better treatment.

However, Law Minister Anisul Huq said the government will consider Khaleda Zia's appeal if she makes a fresh petition after returning to jail.
