News Desk :Environment Advisor Syeda Rizwana Hasan has said, although the Special Security Force (SSF) has been assigned to protect “critically ill” BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia during her treatment in hospital, no other member of her family will receive the same security. A government gazette formalising SSF protection for Khaleda in her capacity as a VVIP was issued on Tuesday. Following that, discussion emerged over whether SSF security would also be provided to her son Tarique Rahman upon his return to the country from London. Khaleda has been undergoing treatment at Evercare Hospital since her admission on Nov 23, after her health deteriorated. When asked at that time, Foreign Advisor Touhid Hossain said he had not yet applied for a travel pass.
