"His (Ershad's) condition deteriorated this morning. Water developed in his lungs caused by infection," he said.

Briefing reporters at Jatiya Party Chairman's Banani office in the evening, Quader also the party acting chairman, said his brother has been given oxygen support due to respiratory problem.

He also said their chairman has also been given treatment for infections in different organs of his body. Quader said the doctors at the CMH are very sincerely providing his brother with necessary treatment. "Doctors also think his proper treatment is possible at the CMH."
