President Md Abdul Hamid has visited Awami League General Secretary and Road Transport Minister Obaidul Quader in hospital.
Quader has been admitted to Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) Hospital’s Coronary Care Unit (CCU) due to complications from heart disease.
The president went to the second floor of the BSMMU ‘D’ Block at 4:25 pm. Speaker Shirin Sharmin Chaudhury arrived soon afterwards.
The president left around 4:45 pm and was soon followed by the speaker.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina had previously visited the general secretary of the party.
Doctors say Quader has three arterial blocks, one of which has been cleared. However, he remains in critical condition and is being ventilated to help him with breathing.
Though preparations had been made to transfer Quader to Singapore, doctors say they are unsure whether he is in any condition to be transferred.
