BNP resorting to falsehood on Khaleda's health: Quader

Awami League General Secretary and Road, Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader on Saturday alleged that the BNP leaders are resorting to falsehood regarding the health condition of BNP Chairperson Begum Zia.

"The civil surgeon has already visited Begum Zia (in jail)...A medical board will be formed and she would be sent abroad if the board suggests," he said after visiting the development work of Baipal-Abdullhapur highway at Zirabo in Ashulia.

Quader said the government will do everything for the proper treatment of Khaleza Zia after taking doctors' advice, reports BSS.

"If the doctors suggest to send her (Begum Zia) abroad for treatment, then the government will do it," he added.

Local lawmaker Dr Enamur Rahman, Jubo League Organizing Secretary Faruque Hasan and AL Savar upazila Organizing Secretary Dewan Mehedi Hasan Manju, among others, were present on the occasion.
