Sick Khaleda to Observe Fasting in Quarantine

BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia will observe fasting and receive treatment during the holy month of Ramadan in quarantine while having multiple illnesses.

"Madam (Khaleda) has been in quarantine in the midst of the coronavirus shutdown. She has been receiving treatment from her personal doctors for her illness. She will observe fasting staying in quarantine, "said BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir.

Talking to reporters on Friday, he said that their chairperson greeted the Muslims in Bangladesh and across the world on the eve of Ramadan.

A member of Khaleda's personal doctors, preferring anonymity, said that the BNP Chief spent time talking to her son Tarique, two daughters-in-law, and granddaughters, reciting the verses of the Holy Quran, reading books and offering prayers.

He said only doctors and close relatives can now meet Khaleda as she wants to remain in isolation until the coronavirus situation improves.

BNP vice-chairman and its chairperson’s personal physician AZM Zahid Hossain said Khaleda’s health condition remains unchanged. “There’s no relief for her from pain in her hands and legs though she’s been undergone therapy. Her diabetes is also still uncontrolled.”

He said Khaleda is worried about the coronavirus situation and its impacts on the country.

On March 25 last, Khaleda was released from jail for six months upon an executive order considering her age and humanitarian ground.

The government passed an executive order for her release on two conditions—-receiving treatment in her home in Gulshan and not leaving the country.

Khaleda was sent to Old Dhaka Central Jail after she was sentenced to five years in prison by a special court in the corruption case of the Zia Orphanage Trust on 8 February 2018.
