BNP Standing Committee member Mirza Abbas left Dhaka for Bangkok, Thailand on Tuesday to undergo eye treatment.
He was accompanied by his wife Afroza Abbas and son Mirza Yasir Abbas, said Abba’s personal assistant Mizanur Rahman Sohel.
Sohel said Abbas departed Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport at 11:15am on a flight of Biman Bangladesh Airlines.
“Sir has gone to Bangkok for eye treatment. An appointment at Ruttonin Eye Hospital has been scheduled for today (Tuesday),” he said.
Sohel said the BNP leader is due to have eye surgery two days later.
He said Mirza Abbas’ family has requested all to pray for his speedy recovery.

Fakhrul had previously undergone a successful surgery on his left eye for a retinal problem at the same hospital on May 14.
