Bangladeshi filmmaker and cultural advisor Mostofa Sarwar Farooki stated on Friday that the prayers and well-wishes being expressed for former Prime Minister and BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia are not confined to any particular political group. Writing on his verified Facebook page, Farooki described Khaleda Zia as a unifying symbol for the nation, noting that such widespread compassion is a rare achievement for any individual. Khaleda Zia remains in critical condition in the CCU of a Dhaka hospital, suffering from pneumonia, respiratory distress, and long-term complications involving her kidneys, liver, arthritis, and diabetes. Interim government Chief Adviser Dr. Muhammad Yunus has requested the nation to pray for her recovery and instructed officials to ensure proper medical care. BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir also described her condition as extremely grave, recalling her lifelong struggle for democracy and the hardships she endured during imprisonment and political persecution.
