She said that ABM Musa in his long career had been a witness to many historical incidents and he would be remembered for his contributions. He was a valiant journalist and impartial columnist. He had written for the people. He also raised his voice strongly against misrule and misdeeds through participating in TV talk-show in the recent time, said the BNP chief.
Khaleda Zia also recalled her late husband Ziaur Rahman for evaluating ABM Musa, saying that Ziaur Rahman appointed him director general of Press Institute of Bangladesh (PIB).
In a separate condolence message, the party acting Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir also expressed deep shock at the death of ABM Musa. He said that his death created a vacuum in the journalist society. The loss is irreparable, he said.
Both Khaleda Zia and Mirza Fakhrul prayed to Almighty Allah for the salvation of the departed soul and conveyed deep sympathy to the bereaved family members.
