Maj Gen Zainul Abedin’s janaza today
The body of Prime Minister’s Military Secretary Major General Mia Mohammad Zainul Abedin Bir Bikram was brought to Dhaka last evening.
“His namaz-e-janaza will be held at Dhaka Cantonment’s central mosque at 10am on Thursday (today),” said Rashedul Alam Khan, assistant director of Inter Services Public Relations Directorate (ISPR).
Zainul Abedin breathed his last on Tuesday at Mount Elizabeth Hospital in Singapore at the age of 59. His body arrived yesterday evening, and was kept at Combined Military Hospital (CMH).
After the namaz-e-janaza, his mortal remains will be taken to his village home in Chunoti of Satkania upazila by helicopter for burial around noon.
Born on January 1, 1960 in Satkania of Chattogram, Maj Gen Zainul Abedin was commissioned in the Bangladesh Army in 1980.
He had been serving as the prime minister’s military secretary since November 28, 2011.
OIC PAYS CONDOLENCES
Envoys of Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) paid deep condolences, saying Zainul was a great human being and played a significant role to bridge the gap between Bangladesh and envoys of Muslim countries based in Dhaka.
He will be profoundly remembered for his honesty, sincerity and patriotism. It will be very difficult to fill the void that has been created after his sad demise, said an OIC statement.
