London, Sept 12 (UNB): Ailing Tarique Rahman, elder son of former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia, along with his family members arrived here by an Emirates flight Friday morning for treatment.
Scores of workers of BNP and its front organisations received him at Gatwick Airport at 7:15am (local time).
Tarique is accompanied by wife Dr Jubaida Rahman, daughter Jaima Jarnaz Rahman, wife's elder sister Shahina Khan and her husband Air Commodore (retd) Shafiuzzaman as well as his personal physician Dr Kazi Mazharul Islam Dolan.
From the airport, he went straight to the Southgate in central London where he would be staying at a house arranged earlier for him.
Before getting admitted to a London hospital, two physicians will examine him at this house on the advice of the physicians. Tarique might be admitted to Hammersmith Hospital in West London.
Tarique Rahman flew for London Thursday night along with his family members shortly after his just-released mother gave him a tearful send-off.
