Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus has directed the health ministry to take immediate steps to send Gono Odhikar Parishad President Nurul Haque Nur abroad for advanced medical treatment.
Nur, one of the key political figures of the July uprising, suffered brain hemorrhage, a broken nasal bone, and injuries to his jaw and spine in a recent attack, according to his wife, Maria Akter. Breaking down in tears, she said Nur urgently requires treatment overseas.
Maria, accompanied by Gono Odhikar Parishad General Secretary Rashed Khan and Senior Joint Secretary Hasan Al Mamun, met the chief adviser at the State Guest House Jamuna on Tuesday.
“We are all shocked by this incident. We have arranged all necessary measures for his treatment. A judicial probe is also underway,” the chief adviser told them.
Law Adviser Asif Nazrul later said a one-member judicial inquiry committee led by Justice Ali Reza is being formed, with a gazette notification expected by Wednesday. The committee has been tasked to complete its investigation within 15 days.
Environment Adviser Rizwana Hasan and Housing and Public Works Adviser Adilur Rahman Khan were also present at the meeting.
