Dr Hasan, also Joint General Secretary of the ruling Awami League, spent some time with Emon, who was admitted to Ward No. 13 of CMCH.

During his visit, Hasan inquired about the treatment of the BCL leader and prayed for his early recovery.

He also provided financial assistance for his medical expenses and instructed the hospital authorities to take necessary measures.

Nirav Iman, 22, is acting organising secretary of the Pomra Union unit of BCL. His father Mohammad Zahir, 45, is vice president of the Pomra Union Juba Dal.
