Former minister and veteran politician Sardar Amzad has died at the age of 75.
He passed away undergoing treatment at Dhaka’s
Apollo Hospital around 4pm on Wednesday.
Amzad had been suffering from heart disease for quite some time, said his nephew Wahed Uzzaman Azad.
Amzad was a minister during the military regime of H M Ershad.
He joined politics as an activist of Bangladesh Chhatra League in the ’60s and then switched over to the Jatiya Party only to return to the Awami League later.
He was elected MP several times.
Amzad, who was a resident of Rajshahi’s Bagmara Upazila, is survived by a son and two daughters.
He will be buried at his family graveyard after a funeral prayer at Hamirkutsa High School grounds on Saturday.
