UNB, Dhaka :
A three-member high-profile BNP delegation on Wednesday signed a condolence book opened at the Indian High Commission here, expressing profound shock on behalf of the party and its chief over the death of ex-Indian President Dr APJ Abdul Kalam.
BNP standing committee members Lt Gen (retd) Mahbubur Rahman Dr Abdul Moyeen Khan and party chairperson’s adviser Sabihuddin Ahmed, on behalf of party chairperson
Khaleda Zia, went to the High Commission at around 12:20 pm and signed the condolence book.
Earlier on Monday, Khaleda Zia expressed deep shock at his death, saying, “As a nuclear scientist, ex-Indian President APJ Abdul Kalam engaged himself in the welfare of people.”
Mentioning that Abdul Kalam won the hearts of the people of Bangladesh, she also said during his stay in office as the president, he helped the friendship and ties between the people of Bangladesh and India scale a respected position.
APJ Kalam, who was known as the father of the India’s military missile programme, died on Monday after collapsing while delivering a lecture at Shillong. He was 84.
Talking to reporters emerging from the Indian High Commission, Moyeen Khan said, “We’ve come here to express condolence over the death of former Indian President APJ Abdul Kalam. We, one behalf of our chairperson Khaleda Zia, signed the condolence book.”
Sought his reaction over the verdict of the Supreme Court upholding the death penalty for BNP standing committee members Salauddin Quader Chowdhury for committing crimes against humanity during the Liberation War of 1971, he parried the question.
Another BNP standing committee member Mahbubur Rahman also declined to make any comment over the issue. The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court (SC) on Wednesday upheld the death penalty of Salauddin Quader Chowdhury given by the International Crimes Tribunal-1 on October 1, 2013.
