The 37th death anniversary of former Chief Justice Syed Mahbub Murshed, an eminent jurist, an independent thinker cum judge, and one of the greatest constitutional lawyers of the sub-continent will be observed today.
In this connection Quran Khwani and Fateha Khwani will be held at the late Justice Murshed’s Mazar at Banani and the Syed Mahbub Murshed Memorial Committee will lay floral wreaths. Because of the holiday the annual milad mahfil was already held at the deceased family residence at Gulshan in Dhaka on Friday last after Asr prayer.
A luminary in the judicial field in South Asia and a respected figure in the political arena Justice Murshed has been described by intellectuals as “a Keeper of National Conscience”. Therefore, like before, in observance of the auspicious occasion various socio-cultural organizations will continue to hold discussion meetings on one of the most distingushed sons of the soil.
