‘Demand of sending Khaleda Zia abroad is politically motivated’

Information and Broadcasting Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud has said that the demand of BNP regarding sending Khaleda Zia abroad for treatment is politically motivated.

The minister came up the claim while replying to a query of newsmen at the meeting room of his ministry at the Secretariat on Monday.

The minister opined “If necessary, a medical board will be formed by all eminent doctors including Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University so that the board can give an advice.”

He said as per the comments of BNP leaders, it seems that BNP leaders including Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, Rizvi Ahmed and Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain have become doctors.

The minister said they all are saying that Begum Zia is in critical condition. But, and doctors or experts of Evercare Hospital didn't tell anything, he added.
