BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia has reached the London Clinic from Heathrow Airport in the United Kingdom on Wednesday.
She arrived at Heathrow Airport at 3:15 pm Bangladesh time on Wednesday. The BNP Chairperson was welcomed there by the party’s acting chairman Tarique Rahman and other family members.
Later, Tarique drove his mother directly from the airport to the hospital.
A video of the BNP media cell shows Tarique taking mother Khaleda Zia in a black car. He is driving the car himself.
