“Doctors at United Hospital shifter her to the ICU at around 10 am on Friday as her condition worsened,” her aide Mojibur Rahman told bdnews24.com.

The 77-year-old was admitted to United Hospital on Jun 2 with a fever, allergy and other preexisting conditions.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is keeping a close eye on her treatment, according to senior Awami League leaders.

A member of the Awami League's presidium, Sahara Khatun is a three-time MP from the Dhaka-18 seat. She was made the home minister in 2008 and later served as the post and telecommunication minister.
