Providing details about the ongoing treatment of BNP Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia, her personal doctor said that physicians from various fields including nephrology, hepatology and liver transplantation are examining her (Khaleda Zia) every day.
Dr. Zahid said Khaleda Zia never wanted to bring her physical illness to the people.
He said, "Madam (Khaleda Zia) was tortured a lot, but she always spoke about people, not about herself".
"Even today, when she came to know that you (journalists) were standing outside in the biting cold, she vehemently asked us to come to brief you," he said.
Begum Khaleda Zia sought prayers from the countrymen and thanked everyone, including journalists, the BNP leader said.
