PM Modi Expresses Concern Over Khaleda Zia’s Health
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said he is deeply concerned about the critical health condition of former Bangladesh prime minister and BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia. In a message posted online, he conveyed his prayers for her recovery and said India stands ready to extend all possible support if required.
Khaleda Zia’s Medical Condition
Khaleda Zia, 80, has been undergoing treatment at a private hospital in Dhaka after being admitted on November 23 with severe complications.

Her health has deteriorated in recent days, and she is currently on ventilator support as specialists continue intensive care.
India’s Humanitarian Outreach

Reactions in Bangladesh
Members of Khaleda Zia’s party and her supporters have welcomed the gesture, calling it a sign of goodwill at a time of rising public anxiety over her condition. Prayers and appeals for her recovery have been growing across Bangladesh as her medical team continues efforts to stabilise her.
What Lies Ahead
Khaleda Zia remains under intensive monitoring, with local and international experts involved in her treatment. India has not yet outlined what form its assistance may take, but officials have indicated readiness to help if Bangladesh requests support.
