Both of them have tested positive for the disease, said BNP Vice Chairman Prof AZM Zahid Hossain. Rahat Ara’s report came on Sunday and Mirza Fakhrul’s on Monday, he said. He also said that both Mirza Fakhrul and his wife are doing better. Many other leaders of the BNP, including Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain, Mirza Abbas, Nazrul Islam Khan, Ruhul Kabir Rizvi, and Amanullah Aman, contracted the pathogen last year. While the BNP chairperson and other leaders have recovered from the infection, some other leaders including Kamal Ibne Yusuf, Khurram Khan Chowdhury, Abdul Awal Khan and Ahsanullah Hasan lost their lives due to the disease.
