The BNP arranged prayer sessions in mosques across the country, including the Baitul Mukarram National Mosque, seeking divine blessings for the speedy recovery of its ailing party Chairperson Khaleda Zia after Jum’a prayers on Friday.
As part of the party’s countrywide programme, a special prayer session was held at the national mosque in the capital.
Senior BNP leaders, including its standing committee members Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain, Mirza Abbas, Nazrul Islam Khan, Amir Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury, Iqbal Hasan Mahmud Tuku, Dhaka south city unit president Abdus Salam and Dhaka north city unit president Amanullah Aman, among others, joined the programme.
During a munajat after the Jum’a prayers, Baitul Mukarram Mosque Senior Pesh Imam Hafez Mufti Maulana Mohammad Mizanur Rahman prayed for the long life of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and the early recovery of Khaleda Zia.
Later, the BNP arranged a doa mahfil on the south premises of the national mosques followed by a munajat for the speedy recovery of Khaleda and her release for going abroad for advanced treatment.
Leaders and activists of the BNP and its associate bodies joined the programme.
An additional number of policemen were deployed around the Baitul Mukarram Mosque areas centring BNP’s programme.
BNP leaders said prayer sessions were also arranged in different mosques and the worship places of other religious community members across the country praying for Khaleda.
Meanwhile, five family members of late national leader Moulana Abdul Hamid Khan Bhasani met Khaleda Zia at Evercare Hospital around 10am. They stayed there for around 30 minutes.
Later, talking to reporters, Mahmuda Khanam Bhasani, a daughter of Abdul Hamid Khan Bhasani, said, “Begum Zia is able to speak, but very slowly.
She is very weak. She urged all to pray for her.”
Mahmuda urged Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to take steps for sending Khaleda abroad for treatment considering her failing health.
