Former Bangladesh cricket captain Tamim Iqbal has called on the public and political groups not to view BNP Chairperson and former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia’s illness through a political lens. Khaleda Zia remains in critical condition at Evercare Hospital’s Coronary Care Unit in Dhaka. Tamim visited her on Sunday night to express his concern and gratitude, recalling that her family had checked on him during his own illness. Speaking to the media afterward, he emphasized the need for compassion and humanity rather than political interpretation. A day earlier, Tamim had posted on Facebook wishing Khaleda Zia a speedy recovery and praising her resilience in facing life’s challenges. His comments come amid heightened political sensitivity surrounding the health of the opposition leader, who has long been a central figure in Bangladesh’s politics.
