Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) Mayor Atiqul Islam expressed deep shock and sorrow at the death of eminent artist Murtaja Baseer.
In a condolence message on Saturday, he said, “Murtaja was an artist, cartoonist and activist of the language movement. Although he was the son of Dr. Muhammad Shahidullah, he wanted to be known by his own work and qualities. His death is really an irreparable loss to the country’s art, literature and cultural arena.”
He prayed for eternal peace of the departed soul and conveyed profound sympathy to the bereaved family.
