Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed deep concern over Khaleda Zia’s health and said India is ready to extend all possible support in whatever way it can. He offered sincere prayers and best wishes for the former Bangladesh prime minister’s speedy recovery.
Khaleda Zia, 80, the chairperson of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party, was admitted to a private hospital in Dhaka after developing a chest infection that affected both her heart and lungs.

A five-member delegation of Chinese doctors arrived in Dhaka to assist the medical team supervising Zia’s treatment at the hospital, joining local and international specialists in the care plan.
Modi’s note comes amid ongoing concern about Zia’s condition and reflects a broader sentiment of humanitarian cooperation between the two nations during a difficult health crisis. The message emphasizes prayers for her recovery and reiterates India’s willingness to provide support in any form.
BNP leaders have stressed that the nation is united in praying for Zia’s recovery, while observers note the potential implications for Bangladesh’s political landscape. The developments highlight the humanitarian dimension of regional ties and the role of medical aid in times of political uncertainty, with families, supporters, and the public awaiting further health updates from the hospital.
