DHAKA: BNP senior joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi said the Medical Board’s report on Khaleda Zia’s illness is contradictory and a reflection of what the government has in mind.

The senior BNP leader made the remarks at a press briefing in city’s Naya Paltan party office on Monday noon (Sep 17).

Earlier on Saturday (Sep 15), the Medical Board of BSMMU examined BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia’s health condition in old central jail and published a report on Sunday (Sep 16).

After meting with Board members, BSMMU director said Khaleda Zia’s health is not in a risky position at all. However, she should be admitted to BSMMU hospital as the hospital has all equipments to treat her.

Criticizing the board report, Rizvi said it has been proven now that the pro-government doctors will submit the report according to government’s will.

Mentioning that the medical board has submitted a ‘manufacturing report’, Rizvi said Khaleda Zia’s personal physicians were not included in the board and she is being repeatedly denied of admission in a private specialized hospital. 

“The government is being extreme vengeful to deprive Khaleda Zia from her right to seek treatment from hospital she likes,” Rizvi added.
