Posted by bangladesh

A Biman Bangladesh Airlines flight will bring the mortal remains of Chittagong-12 (Anwara) MP and ruling Awami League Presidium Member Akhtaruzzaman Chowdhury Babu from Singapore to Dhaka on Monday.

The 71-year-old leading entrepreneur of the port city died at Mount Elizabeth Hospital around 4:30am, his Private Secretary Borhanuddin Chowdhury Murad told bdnews24.com.

The three-time MP was the head of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on the Ministry of Textiles and Jute.

"He had long been suffering from kidney complications. He was treated in Singapore for around a month," he said.

The first namaj-e-janaza for Babu will be held at Parliament building premises. His body will be taken to Chittagong after the second namaj-e-janaza in front of the Awami League headquarters.

Three more funeral prayers will be held in Chittagong on Nov 7 – at Jamiyatul Falah National Mosque at 11am, at AJ Chowdhury ground in Patia at 12 in the noon and at Anwara High School field at 2pm. Another four namaj-e-janajas will be held at Chowdhury High School field in Hildhar in Anowara.

Babu will be buried in his family graveyard, said Murad.

The AL leader left behind his wife, three sons and three daughters.

Babu had been serving as the President of Chittagong south district unit of Awami League since 1977.
