President Abdul Hamid and prime minister Sheikh Hasina on Sunday visited road transport and bridges minister Obaidul Quader at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), reports UNB.

The president went to BSMMU at 4:17pm visited Quader at the Coronary Care Unit (CCU).

Abdul Hamid talked to physicians and enquired about the minister's health condition.

He left the hospital around 4:38pm.

Just a few minutes before the president's arrival, prime minister Sheikh Hasina departed the hospital visiting Quader.

Later, talking to UNB, BSMMU director Abdullah Al Harun said as the prime called Quader by his name at the CCU, the Awami League general secretary slowly opened his eyes and looked up.

He said Quader also stared at president Abdul Hamid during his visit.

Obaidul Quader, also general secretary of Awami League, was admitted to the CCU of BSMMU in the morning following his breathing complications.

Physicians found three blockages in his coronary artery following an angiogram, said BSMMU cardiology department chairman Syed Ali Ahsan.

He said Quader's condition is still critical. "He's not out of danger."
