Former Vice-Chancellor of Dhaka University Prof AAMS Arefin Siddique expressed profound shock and sorrow at the death of Awami League Presidium Member, former Law Minister, newly elected President of the Supreme Court Bar Association and valiant freedom fighter Abdul Matin Khasru.
In a message of condolence on Thursday, he said the country has lost an eminent lawyer and veteran politician at the death of Abdul Matin Khasru.
Prof Arefin said Khasru played an important role to repeal the black law Indemnity Act which was formulated to give immunity from legal action to the persons involved in the assassination of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
Khasru’s death has created a deep vacuum in the field of law as well as politics, he added.
The former vice-chancellor of DU said Khasru extended cooperation to the university by providing legal advices in different times.
He prayed for eternal peace of the departed soul and conveyed deep sympathy to the bereaved family.
