According to a party statement issued yesterday (21 September), Nur had been under treatment at Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) and later at a private hospital in the capital.
The release said doctors recommended sending him abroad for further care, a decision supported by his family and party members despite his initial reluctance.
Nur was injured on 29 August when a clash broke out in the Kakrail area of Dhaka between activists of his party and the Jatiyo Party.
Police and army personnel intervened to bring the situation under control, during which he sustained injuries.
The following day, DMCH Director Brig Gen Md Asaduzzaman confirmed that Nur had suffered injuries to his head and nose.
