Event Summary

Khaleda Zia, the 80-year-old chairperson of the Bangladesh — Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) and former Prime Minister of Bangladesh, is in critical condition at Evercare Hospital in Dhaka after being admitted on November 23, 2025, for a severe chest infection affecting her heart and lungs. Her condition has deteriorated, leading to her being placed on ventilation. Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India expressed deep concern for Khaleda Zia's health, acknowledging her contributions to Bangladesh's public life, and offered India's full support for her recovery. The Bangladesh — Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) publicly thanked Narendra Modi for his 'gesture of goodwill'. Khaleda Zia suffers from multiple chronic ailments, and her party has previously sought treatment abroad. Her elder son, Tarique Rahman, the BNP's acting chairman, is considering returning to Bangladesh after legal obstacles were removed following a student-led uprising that overthrew the previous government. Muhammad Yunus, head of Bangladesh's interim administration, also expressed concern and confirmed no restrictions on Tarique Rahman's return.
