The first namaj-e-janaza in Bangladesh of late Awami League leader Abdur Razzak was held on Sunday at the south plaza of the parliament building.
The funeral prayer of the leading organiser of the 1971 Liberation War took place around 3pm after his body was taken there from his Gulshan residence.
Speaker of parliament Abdul Hamid, deputy speaker Shawkat Ali, cabinet members and MPs attended the janaza along with his family members.
Before the janaza, Razzak's son Nahin Razzak urged everyone to pray for the departed soul of his father.
A second janaza is scheduled to be held at the National Eidgah Maidan afterwards.
After that, the body of the Shariatpur-3 legislator, who never lost an election, would be taken to the Central Shaheed Minar for the masses to pay their last tributes.
His body was taken at the south plaza of parliament after the president Zillur Rahman and prime minister Sheikh Hasina paid their last respect to the 69-year-old veteran politician at his house.
Razzak's body was taken there from the Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport after the Biman Bangladesh Airlines flight carrying his remains from London landed at 12:15pm.
His family members including his wife Farida Razzak and two sons were with the body.
The Awami League advisory council had died at King's College Hospital in London at 03:50pm local time (9:50pm Bangladesh standard time) on Friday while under treatment.
Ruling party advisory council members and his long time associates Amir Hossain Amu, Tofail Ahmed and Abdul Jalil paid their floral tributes to him at the airport.
Awami League presidium members Syeda Sajeda Chowdhury, Sheikh Fazlul Karim Selim, Suranjit Sengupta, Obaidul Quader and Shahara Khatun, Faruk Khan and Jahangir Kabir Nanak, ruling party ally Workers' Party president Rashed Khan Menon and Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal (JaSaD) president Hasanul Haque Inu, among others, were also present at the airport.
After Sunday's events, Razzak's body would be kept at the mortuary until Monday when the remains would be taken to his village at Shariatpur's Damudda.
He would be buried at the capital's Banani graveyard later in the day.
