Former Bangladesh PM Zia in Critical Condition; Modi Offers Help

Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Khaleda Zia is reported to be in critical condition, prompting Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to express concern and offer assistance. This gesture is notable given Zia’s contentious history with India, especially in contrast to Sheikh Hasina’s favorable relations. Modi’s outreach indicates a potential reevaluation of India’s position as Bangladesh approaches elections, where the BNP, Zia’s party, may gain from Hasina’s ouster. A team of Chinese doctors has also arrived in Dhaka to assist with Zia’s treatment.
