BNP’s acting chairman Tarique Rahman has taken responsibility for the medical expenses of Abdur Razzak, a rickshaw-puller suffering from kidney disease and father of young Lamia Akter.
On Wednesday, senior BNP leader Ruhul Kabir Rizvi visited Razzak’s family home in Dhaka’s Shyamoli Housing area, where he assured support and handed over financial assistance.
Razzak currently requires two dialysis sessions per week. His wife is willing to donate a kidney, but lack of funds has stalled the transplant. The issue gained national attention when Razzak’s daughter Lamia made an emotional appeal in a televised interview. In response, Tarique Rahman directed the “Amra BNP Poribar” platform to stand by the family.
