UNB, Dhaka:
The fifth death anniversary of M Saifur Rahman, a seasoned politician and the country’s longest-serving finance minister, will be observed on Friday.
On this day in 2009, Saifur, also a former BNP standing committee member, died in a road accident on Dhaka-Sylhet highway at the age of 77.
BNP has chalked out various programmes to mark the day. As part of the programmes, a milad mahfil will be held at the BNP’s Nayapaltan central office at 10:30 am on Friday.
Moulvibazar district unit of BNP has also taken different programmes, including discussions and milad mahfil, to observe the day with due respect.
Saifur’s eldest son and Moulvibazar BNP president Naser Rahman told UNB that a mild and doa mahfil will be held at their village home after Juma prayers.
He said they will also hold a discussion in memory of Saifur at a hotel in the capital Dhaka on Saturday. Senior BNP leaders will be present at the programme.
Naser requested all to pray for the salvation of the departed soul of his father.
Meanwhile, BNP acting secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Thursday issued a massage recalling Saifur’s outstanding contributions to the country’s economic development.
“Saifur Rahman had kept significant contributions to the development of the country’s economy as a great finance minister. Bangladesh had earned international reputation in state economic management under his competent and able leadership,” he said.
Mentioning Saifur as one of the pioneers of the country’s development and progress, Fakhrul said he had led the nation from the front in ensuring the freedom of the country and people’s democratic rights. He also prayed for salvation of the departed soul.
