The BNP National Standing Committee has urged to the government to take BNP chairperson and former Prime Minister Begum Khaleda Zia in abroad for her better treatment. BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir announced the decision at a press conference at the party’s chairperson’s office in Gulshan on Tuesday (June 22).

He also said that the government is cheating the people in the name of lockdown. The lockdown is not working. There is also a lockdown in Dhaka. Do you see the lockdown anywhere? Where is the lockdown? I can’t see. Everyone is going wherever they want, everyone is doing whatever they want and marriage is also happening. Mirza Fakhrul said, the head of the Board of Physicians according to AFM Siddiqui, Khaleda Zia is free from coronvirus, but she is suffering from the next few complications and not out of risk. Treatment of her liver and other complications is required at any advanced center in abroad. In Bangladesh, the chances are relatively low.

The meeting of the BNP’s standing committee thinks that the country’s leader should go abroad to send Begum Khaleda Zia to a more advanced medical center for her treatment and called for her release. Last Sunday (June 20), a meeting of the standing committee chaired by BNP acting chairman Tarique Rahman reviewed the latest health condition of Khaleda Zia, who is suffering from various complications including lung.
Asked about the next steps of the party to send Khaleda Zia abroad, Mirza Fakhrul said, we did not say before, her family had said to send her abroad. We are taking a resolution in the meeting of the party’s standing committee that she needs treatment abroad. For this, whatever the government needs to do, the government should do it immediately.
