Salman F Rahman prayed for eternal peace of the departed soul of Indian President Pranab Mukherjee

Salman F Rahman, Prime Minister’s Private Industry and Investment Adviser expressed deep condolences at the death of former Indian President Pranab Mukherjee. The PM adviser prayed for eternal peace of the departed soul and conveyed his deepest sympathy to the grief-stricken family members of the Indian former president.

In an emotional speech, Salman F Rahman said “He had always played a supportive role in every crisis moment of Bangladesh including the War of Liberation of this country. He was the first man to be vocal about the necessity of supporting the people of this country during the war. And this veteran Bangali politician was also one of the boldest supporters of Bangladesh in global perspective”.

Prime Minister’s Private Industry and Investment Adviser further said that “The Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and most of his family members were assassinated in 1975 but his two daughters – our honourable Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her younger sister Sheikh Rehana – survived by the grace of Almighty Allah. And during the crucial moment when the two sisters were exiled in India, Pranab Mukherjee had provided them with all cooperation. As a nation, we recall his contribution with deep gratitude”.

“His death has caused an irreparable loss for both the countries” Salman F Rahman added.

The government of Bangladesh has announced the observance of mourning programmes in recognition of his contributions to and love for the country after death of President Pranab Mukherjee.

Mukherjee died after fighting for life for 21 days following a brain surgery to remove a blood clot. Since then, he was in deep coma.
