Jatiya Party Chairman HM Ershad is recovering quickly and his health is being considered much better today, the party’s acting Chairman GM Quader said quoting his physicians.

A few tests have been run on HM Ershad and his treatment is going accordingly, GM Quader said expressing his satisfaction over Ershad’s treatment at Combined Military Hospital (CMH).

The JP chairman was admitted to the CMH on June 27 with old age complications.

Since formation of the current parliament following the December 30 national election, Ershad, who is the leader of the opposition as president of Jatiya Party, could attend the maiden session only once due to illness.

The five-time MP flew to Singapore’s National University Hospital for medical treatment on January 20 and returned to the country on February 4. Since then he had been visiting the CMH regularly for health check-ups, said Shunil.

He was last seen at a public gathering in May when he attended an iftar mahfil arranged by his brother GM Quader at The Westin in Dhaka.
