Jamaat Ameer diagnosed with heart blocks, to undergo bypass surgery
  Bangla Press Desk: Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Shafiqur Rahman has been diagnosed with heart blocks and will undergo bypass surgery in the country, according to party sources. Nazrul Islam, personal secretary of the party chief, told UNB about the blocks on Wednesday night. He said that Shafiqur has been diagnosed with three major heart blocks and is currently undergoing treatment at the United Hospital in the capital. Meanwhile, in a Facebook post, Hafez Rashedul Islam, former central president of Islami Chhatra Shibir and current Ameer of Jamaat’s Dhanmondi Thana unit,  wrote although  Shafiqur's family and personal physician recommended that the surgery be performed abroad, he opted to have the procedure done in a hospital in the country.
Earlier, on July 19, Shafiqur fell ill twice while delivering a speech at Jamaat’s national rally at Suhrawardy Udyan in Dhaka. He completed his speech while seated and was later taken to hospital for medical examination. Since then, he has been undergoing a series of health check-ups, which led to the diagnosis.  This article was originally published on Daily Sun. [Bangla Press is a global platform for free thought.
