Supporters stated that even if they cannot meet her, they came to get news of her health. Nazrul Islam from Uzirpur, Barisal said, “Even if I can’t see her, I came. I have respected her since childhood; I never sought a position, but she is like a mother to me.” Soheli Parvin Shikha from Uttara, Dhaka said, “Since yesterday, there was little news about her, so I became worried. At least coming to the hospital allows me to check on her.”

Doctors have stated that due to a sudden deterioration in Khaleda Zia’s health, she has been moved to the ICU and is currently on ventilation, receiving proper monitoring and treatment.
