How is Begum Khaleda Zia now?
  • Her son, Tarique Rahman, and his wife, Dr. Zubaida Rahman, are taking care of her around the clock.

BNP Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia is at complete rest. She is staying on the ground floor of her son Tarique Rahman's house in Kingston, London. Her physical condition is stable. A source close to Mr. Rahman, who requested not to be named, confirmed that she is unable to walk.

She is spending time at home with family members after returning from the hospital on Friday night. This time, after arriving in London, he was admitted to the hospital directly from the airport, so he did not have the opportunity to spend time with his relatives at home. His son, both daughters-in-law, and granddaughters used to give her time in the hospital. After returning home, she is spending quality time with her family. She is eating home-cooked food. Her son, Tarique Rahman, and his wife, Dr. Zubaida Rahman, are taking care of her around the clock.

Arafat Rahman Koko's wife, Sharmila Rahman Shithi, is also staying nearby. She is also taking care of her mother-in-law. Khaleda Zia, who has been very close to her three granddaughters, is mentally revived. The source said that she is under the care of doctors. She may have been taken to the hospital again for any physical examination.

When Khaleda Zia can return to Bangladesh, the leader said to Daily Dazzling Dawn that the stage of returning to the country has not yet come. Mr. Rahman Sahib and his family members know about Khaleda Zia's treatment or the plan to return to Bangladesh. Those who know, they will certainly not violate their family secrets.

Sources confirmed to Daily Dazzling Dawn that after arriving in London, the doctors in London or the medical board did not make any major changes in Khaleda Zia's treatment except for all her health checkups and changing the name and dosage of some medicines. The former PM of Bangladesh is being treated for her liver, kidney, diabetes, blood pressure, arthritis, and heart through medicines.

Considering Khaleda Zia's age and physical condition, there is no possibility of a liver transplant for now. Khaleda Zia's doctor and BNP standing committee member, Dr. AZM Zahid Hossain, has told reporters several times that Professor John Patrick Kennedy of The London Clinic in London and other doctors have also praised Madam's strong morale. He has praised the treatment given by Bangladeshi doctors. After coming to London, she was in a family atmosphere with her son, two daughters-in-law, and granddaughters and was in a good mental state.

Now her physical condition is also good and stable. Although BNP Chairperson's advisor, UK BNP founding president Mahidur Rahman, and UK BNP president MA Malik were contacted, they did not want to comment on Khaleda Zia's treatment and the plan to return to Bangladesh, beyond the recommendations of her doctors.
