Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus is in completely sound health, his Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam confirmed.
“Last night, we got a huge number of phone calls and they inquired about the health of Prof Yunus. We want to inform you that the Chief Adviser is in completely sound health and well,” he told a press brief-ing in front of the State Guest House Jamuna yesterday.
Alam said the chief adviser held a meeting with a Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) delegation yester-day as part of the ongoing dialogue of the government.
Law Adviser Dr Asif Nazrul and Chief Adviser’s Special Assistant Mahfuj Alam were present at the meeting, he said.
The Chief Adviser’s Press Wing released a huge number of photos on the meetings that he (CA) joined during last a week as the press secretary said Prof Yunus held meeting yesterday and also was present at a meeting with the BNP leaders.
Replying to another query over resignation of President Mohammed Shahabuddin, he said the govern-ment has not taken any decision so far in this regard and it asked those who are demonstrating in the surrounding areas of Bangabhaban to leave the place.
Rumors were spread over the illness of Prof Yunus as Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) formed a medical team on Tuesday for the treatment of the chief adviser.
Later, BSMMU Vice Chancellor (VC) Prof Md Sayedur Rahman in a statement asked all not to spread rumors over the medical team for the treatment of the chief adviser.
