DHAKA, May 17, 2025 (BSS) - BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir is doing well now following his eye surgery in a hospital in Bangkok.

Asked about Fakhrul's return to the country, she said, "Whenever his physicians consider him risk-free, we will decide on his return to Bangladesh.

I and my mother (Rahat Ara Begum) are by my father's side all the time”.
