 “His health has improved in certain cases while deteriorated in others,” he added.

“His blood pressure and pulse rate is stable. He is breathing normally as he is on oxygen and he is also undergoing dialysis,” he said citing doctors.

“He will be taken off life support if liver, kidney and vital organs start functioning normally,” said Quader, who also serves as the party’s acting chaiman.
