The BNP leader came up with the remarks on Tuesday after a meeting between a BNP delegation and the minister at the Secretariat, reports UNB.
"We have come to the minister to talk about our leader Khaleda Zia's illness and her proper treatment. The minister listened to us very attentively," the BNP leader said.
Fakhrul further said, "He (Home Minister) told us that he'll take whatever steps are needed for ensuring proper treatment to our leader."
He expressed the hope that Asaduzzaman will will take the highest measure for the best treatment of Khaleda Zia as he has given commitment over the matter.
