Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader has visited Narayanganj Mayor Selina Hayat Ivy at the city’s Labaid hospital.
Ivy suddenly fell ill due to low blood pressure on Thursday at her offices and was admitted to the Labaid Hospital.
She is now being treated at the coronary care unit or CCU of the hospital. Doctors said she was out of danger and advised her to take rest.
On Friday, Quader, a cabinet member, went to the hospital to visit the Naryanganj mayor.
“She apparently looks good. I have spoken with her,” he told the media at the hospital.
Narayanganj’s Chashara turned into a battlefield on Tuesday as supporters of Ivy and lawmaker Shamim clashed over the eviction of street vendors.
More than 100 people, mostly members of the ruling party’s affiliates, were injured in the clashes.
Police had to fire into the air and lob teargas shells to disperse the two sides.
Describing the incident as a “very bad example”, Quader told the media the following day that the two were summoned in consultation with the prime minister.
The top Narayanganj Awami League leaders have blamed each other for the fierce clashes, says bdnews24.
Ivy claims Shamim wanted her killed and sent one of his henchmen with gun to carry out the mission while the MP says his man was not a goon and acted only in self-defence.
