Dhaka: Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has sought the help of a leading Indian cardiac surgeon in determining the treatment of her ailing senior Cabinet colleague.

Quader, who is also the General Secretary of ruling Awami League, was on Sunday admitted to the Dhaka's Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) after being diagnosed with three blockages in his coronary artery.
He was taken to the Intensive Care Unit at first and then moved to the Critical Care Unit as his condition deteriorated, the Daily Star reported.
