Khaleda Zia falls on ground following dizziness

Dhaka, Jun 8 (Just News): BNP leaders and activists will stage demonstrations across the country on Sunday demanding proper treatment of their ailing Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia in jail.

BNP senior joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi announced the programme at a press conference at the party's Nayapaltan central office on Friday.

He said the programme will be observed in all cities, district towns and all thanas in the capital.

"It's very touching what her relatives told us after meeting her in jail today (Friday). They said she (Khaleda Zia) fell on the ground on June 5 following dizziness," the BNP leader said.

Besides, he said, Khaleda Zia has been suffering from severe fever for the last three weeks. "But neither the government nor the jail authorities took any step for curing her illness. We condemn their attitude."

Rizvi demanded that the government allow the BNP chief's personal physicians to provide her with treatment in jail.
