The Election Commission’s move to sit with all registered political parties over preparations for the upcoming polls appears to be designed for failure as two major parties are still at odds over the polls-time government, say political analysts.
Zafia Rahman and Zahia Rahman, daughters of late Arafat Rahman Koko, have arrived in Dhaka from Britain to celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr with their grandmother Khaleda Zia.
Canadian Human Rights’ International Organization (CHRIO) has conferred the “Mother of Democracy” award to BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia for her contributions to democracy.
BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia currently does not have any post-Covid complications, but she is still at risk because of her old age, the party said yesterday. "The latest statement from the medical board formed to treat madam [Khaleda] shows that she is doing much better if we go by the post-Covid parameters," BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir told a press
Hospital sources said Khaleda s health has been showing no sign of improvement. This non-improvement is not a good sign and her condition is not suitable for flying for a six- or eight-hour flight, a doctor involved in Khaleda s treatment told The Daily Star.
The former prime minister is having breathing difficulties without oxygen support, he said. Her health neither improved nor deteriorated. But this stability is not good.
On the other hand, BNP sources said Khaleda s family members received a positive signal from the UK government regarding her treatment in a London hospital.
They will start preparing to fly her to London as soon as they get the clearance from the Bangladesh government.
