Jamaat Ameer mourns death of Sherpur-3 candidate Nuruzzaman Badal

Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Dr Shafiqur Rahman has expressed deep sorrow at the death of Md Nuruzzaman Badal, Jamaat-nominated parliamentary candidate for Sherpur-3 (Sreebardi–Jhenaigati) constituency and Secretary of Sherpur district Jamaat.

In a condolence message on Wednesday, Dr Shafiqur Rahman said the party has lost a dedicated and courageous leader. He said Nuruzzaman Badal remained steadfast in his commitment to the Islamic movement and continued his political activities even in difficult and adverse circumstances.

The Jamaat Ameer prayed for the forgiveness of the departed soul and asked Allah to grant him Jannatul Ferdous.

He also extended heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family members, colleagues and well-wishers.

Badal breathed his last at around 1:30am while undergoing treatment for kidney complications at Swadesh Hospital in Mymensingh, said Sherpur district Jamaat Ameer Maulana Md Hafizur Rahman. He was 51.

He is survived by his wife, one son and a number of relatives.

Hafizur Rahman said Nuruzzaman Badal had been suffering from kidney-related complications for a long time.

He said Badal fell ill at around 10:00pm on Tuesday on the night of Shab-e-Barat and was first taken to Sreebardi Upazila Hospital.

As his condition worsened, he was moved to Mymensingh for advanced treatment, where he later died at Swadesh Hospital.
