UNB. Dhaka :
Claiming that most of their senior leaders are seriously ill in different jails, BNP on Tuesday called upon the government to demonstrate a human behaviour by immediately realising them to receive treatment at specialised hospitals.
“We expect a human behaviour from the government, transfer our ailing leaders to specialised hospitals for better treatment and release all the arrested leaders and activists,” said BNP spokesperson Asaduzzaman Ripon.
He made the appeal at a press briefing at BNP’s Nayapaltan central office.
“We’ve observed with deep concern that many of our leaders repeatedly taken on remands fell ill seriously in jails for lack of proper treatment,” the BNP leader said.
Ripon, the BNP’s international affairs secretary, said though their leaders had been arrested with their sound health at different times of their anti-government movement, some of them returned from jail dead while some others went to hospital sitting in wheelchair and many others groaning inside the prisons with serious illness.
The BNP leader said they are worried as the Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) authorities have decided to send their ‘seriously ill’ acting secretary general
Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir to jail instead of ensuring better treatment for him at the hospital.
He claimed Fakhrul has been suffering from various serious diseases, including (carotid arteries) blockage in the nerve of his neck, diabetes and heart complications.
Fakhrul was shifted to the BSMMU in Dhaka earlier in the day from Kashimpur Central Jail in Gazipur as he fell sick.
BSMMU director Brigadier General (retd) Abdul Mazid Bhuiyan said they formed a six-member medical board headed by Prof Rafiqul Islam.
