DHAKA, Sept 23, 2025 (BSS) - Responding to an emotional appeal by six-year-old Lamia Akhter, the daughter of a kidney patient, BNP Acting Chairman and Chief Patron of 'Amra BNP Paribar' Tarique Rahman has stood beside the ailing 44-year-old van driver Abdur Razzak of Shariatpur district.
As Tarique Rahman directed all concerned to help Lamia's father, a delegation of 'Amra BNP Paribar' will visit the residence of Abdur Razzak in the Dhaka Housing Mosque area (Mehedi Bagh, Road No. 1) of Shyamoli in the capital at 12 noon tomorrow.
BNP Senior Joint Secretary General and Chief Advisor of 'Amra BNP Paribar' Advocate Ruhul Kabir Rizvi will lead the delegation.
Convener of the organization Atiqur Rahman Rumon will preside over the event.
Abdur Razzak, a van driver by profession, has been suffering from severe kidney disease and is currently undergoing dialysis twice a week.
Though his wife has expressed willingness to donate a kidney, the family is financially incapable of affording a transplant.
The matter gained national attention after a heart-wrenching interview of Lamia Akhter was aired by a television channel. In the interview, Lamia tearfully pleaded for help to save her father. The video subsequently went viral on social media, drawing widespread empathy and support from across the country.
Upon viewing the footage, Tarique Rahman instructed 'Amra BNP Paribar' to take immediate steps to support the treatment of Abdur Razzak.
