Bangladesh’s Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus on Wednesday (December 3, 2025) visited critically ill former Prime Minister and Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) Chairperson Khaleda Zia at a private hospital in the capital.

“The Chief Adviser stayed at the hospital for nearly half an hour and urged her family, party leaders and activists to keep patience,” Mr. Yunus’ press wing said in a statement following his visit to the Evercare Hospital.
