Bangladesh Opposition Leader Khaleda Zia in Critical Condition
Khaleda Zia, who used to be the Prime Minister of Bangladesh, is very sick and is being treated in a special part of the hospital called intensive care.
She has many health problems like lung infection, heart issues, and other sicknesses.
Her family and friends are asking people to pray for her to get better.
She was in jail for a while but was released recently.
She wants to run in the next election, which is expected in 2026.
Many people are worried about her and hope she gets better soon.
Her son, who lives in London, wants to come back to Bangladesh but says it is not entirely up to him.
The government says there are no restrictions on his return.
Khaleda Zia, 80, is in critical condition with a severe chest infection affecting her heart and lungs.
Her son, Tarique Rahman, who has been exiled in London since 2008, expressed uncertainty about his return to Bangladesh.
The interim government led by Muhammad Yunus stated there are no restrictions on Rahman's return.
