The health condition of Tarique Rahman, the elder son of former prime minister and BNP Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia, remains stable since his arrival in London.

Sources said Tarique Rahman yesterday took advise from doctors of Kings Oak Hospital in North London.

MA Malek, General Secretary of United Kingdom Branch of BNP, said last night that visitors were not allowed to visit Tarique Rahman.

He said the physicians might start his treatment within a day or two or decide whether the treatment of his complicated disease is possible in the hospital. The BNP leader said it is not possible to assume timeframe for his treatment before his admission in the hospital.

He said hundreds of BNP leaders from different countries including Europe expressed eagerness to visit Tarique.

On Friday special munajat was offered in at least 20 mosques in London for the early recovery of Tarique Rahman, who left Dhaka for London on Thursday night.
