Ershad suffers from breathing problems

Jatiya Party (JaPa) Chairman HM Ershad, who is undergoing treatment at Combined Military Hospital (CMH) in Dhaka, is suffering from breathing problems.

His Deputy Press Secretary Khandakar Delwar Jalali confirmed the matter to Jago News. 

Ershad has been put on oxygen support, he said. 

Earlier on Wednesday, Ershad was admitted to CMH due to old-age complications.

The JaPa chief has been suffering from serious ailments for the last nine months. He also went to a Singapore hospital after the national election.

Ershad attended only one sitting of the maiden session of the 11th parliament formed through the December 30 election. He didn’t attend the second session of the parliament due to serious physical ailments.

He last appeared at a public gathering at an Iftar Mahfil programme at Westin Dhaka.
