Hasina may visit Jyoti Basu later
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina here yesterday voiced concern over the condition of ailing Marxist patriarch Jyoti Basu undergoing treatment in Kolkata and plans to visit him sometimes later.
“We are worried over the condition of Jyoti Basu who is a highly respected leader. I wanted to visit him but could not this time”, Hasina told a press conference while replying to a question from an Indian journalist.
