The panel held a news conference at the government-run hospital at 5:45pm on Sunday to give an update on the condition of the Awami League general secretary.

“He is steadily improving, but is not out of danger,” said Professor Asit Baran Adhikary, a heart surgeon at BSMMU.

The 67-year old road transport and bridges minister was hospitalised early in the morning.

The doctors could not say when it would be safe to move him for better treatment abroad as his condition was unstable.

He has three arterial blocks and one of those has been removed by stenting, according to BSMMU Cardiology Department Prof Syed Ali Ahsan, who is leading a board overseeing his care.

“He is haemodynamically stable. He has opened his eyes and spoken as well. But I would say he is still in critical stage. He is moving his legs, trying to talk,” Prof Ahsan added.
