Bypass Operation
On the afternoon of May 23, 2006, President Iajuddin Ahmed was admitted to the Combined Military Hospital (CMH) in Dhaka. Sources at the CMH said he was seriously ill and was under the observation of a team of elite doctors. On their advice President Ahmed was taken to Singapore on Wednesday, May 24, 2006. The 75-year-old president underwent a successful by-pass heart operation at the Mount Elizabeth Hospital in Singapore.
When President was sick during May, June and July 2006 period then there was wide rumour by Awami League and a section of media that he died and also there was publicity that he was going to be removed, both issues were addressed very boldly by Mukhlesur Rahman Chowdhury that he was alive and there was no such decision to remove him or oust him. Ironically, Awami League later opposed him as Chief adviser (CA)until Mukhles Chowdhury brought all parties in elections meeting their demands for the sake of a participatory democracy and in another contradiction Sheikh Hasina and her Awami League government took oath from him. Sheikh Hasina named him Yesuddin.

Famous quotes containing the word operation:
“Waiting for the race to become official, he began to feel as if he had as much effect on the final outcome of the operation as a single piece of a jumbo jigsaw puzzle has to its predetermined final design. Only the addition of the missing fragments of the puzzle would reveal if the picture was as he guessed it would be.”
—Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)
