Khaleda falls sick for low blood sugar: Quader

GAZIPUR, June 10 (UNB): About the suspicion of BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia's personal physicians that she has suffered a mild stroke, Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader said on Sunday it is not true as she fell sick for low blood sugar level.

"I have talked to the Home Minister and IG Prison over the matter. Though Khaleda's physicians said she might have suffered from mild stroke, the physician of the jail said it is because of fall in her blood sugar level. It's not a mild stroke." he said.

Obaidul was talking to reporters while visiting Dhaka-Tangail highway at Chandra.

"We don't support any negligence in Khaleda's treatment and she has been requested to go abroad for treatment and undergo medical tests at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) Hospital," said the minister.

Talking about the road condition and Eid journey, Quader said the four-lane Chandra-Elenga road will be opened to traffic on June 12, aiming to ensure the smooth journey of homebound people.
