Bangladesh military chiefs visit ailing ex-PM Khaleda Zia in hospital.
In a rare joint visit, the chiefs of Bangladesh’s Army, Navy, and Air Force met with former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia at Evercare Hospital, where she is being treated for severe heart and lung infections. The military leaders offered prayers for her recovery amid intensified security measures due to her status as a “very, very important person.” Zia’s health has deteriorated significantly, leading to her placement on ventilation, sparking widespread prayers and support across the nation. Meanwhile, her son, Tarique Rahman, who has been in self-exile, is anticipated to return to Bangladesh to participate in the political landscape as the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) positions itself as a key player ahead of the upcoming elections following recent political upheavals.
