Khaleda willing to go abroad

BNP MP Harunur Rashid on Tuesday said their jailed chairperson Khaleda Zia was willing to go abroad for treatment if she got bail.

Hraun came up with the remarks while talking to reporters after meeting Khaleda along with two other party MPs at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University in the evening.

‘She (Khaleda) needs better treatment immediately at a specialised hospital abroad for the physical problems she’s facing now. I call upon the government not to deprive her of the right to get bail,’ the BNP leader said.

Asked whether Khaleda wanted to go abroad  for treatment, he said, ‘She’ll surely go abroad if she gets a scope for treatment. If she gets bail today, she’ll go abroad tomorrow.’

Harun said now Khaleda Zia’s top priority was her medical treatment, and there was no such specialised hospital in Bangladesh to provide proper treatment to her under her current fragile health condition.

He said people wanted to know as to why the government was trying to deprive the BNP chief of a chance to receive better treatment.

Hraun along with two other BNP MPs - lawyer Abdus Sattar and Amimul Islam - went to BSMMU around 4:30pm and had an hour-long meeting with her.

Khaleda has been receiving treatment at the BSMMU since April 1 last.
