Information and Broadcasting Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud on Monday expressed profound shock and sorrow at the death of Jatiya Sangsad Deputy Leader, Awami League Presidium Member and veteran Freedom Fighter Syeda Sajeda Chowdhury.
In a message of condolence, the minister said the country has lost a politician who was dedicated to Awami League her whole life. She had played a pivotal role in keeping the party organized during its crisis period after the brutal assassination of Bangabandhu along with most of his family members on August 15 in 1975, he added.
He said Sajeda became the AL’s acting general secretary in 1976 and she was the party’s full general secretary from 1986 to 1992. Earlier, she was the general secretary of Mohila Awami League from 1969 to 1975, he continued.
He said Sajeda was elected parliament member from Faridpur-2 constituency for several times.
Hasan, also AL Joint General Secretary, prayed for eternal peace of the departed soul and conveyed deep sympathy to the bereaved family.
