BNP central organizing secretary and Habiganj-3 candidate GK Gaus has alleged that Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and the ruling Awami League are solely responsible for the deteriorating health of BNP Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia. Speaking at a prayer and food distribution event in Habiganj, Gaus claimed that Hasina, driven by jealousy over Khaleda’s popularity, imprisoned her on fabricated charges and later used her administration to poison Khaleda’s food during her detention, thereby destroying her immune system through 'slow poisoning'. He asserted that this was a deliberate attempt to end Khaleda’s life. Gaus urged party supporters and citizens to pray for Khaleda’s recovery, expressing faith that divine mercy would restore her health. Several local BNP leaders and activists were present at the event, which was organized at an orphanage in Habiganj town.
