Muhith’s body reaches Sylhet

The body of former Finance Minister AMA Muhith reached in Sylhet around 10 pm yesterday (April 30, 2022) night where people were waiting to see one of the region's proudest sons for the last time.

Later, the body was taken to the city's Hafiz Complex.

His body will be taken to the central Shaheed Minar in Sylhet today (May 1, 2022) at 12 noon where people from all walks of life will pay last respects to Muhith, one of the giants of Bangladesh's political arena whose role stretches through the entire history of independent Bangladesh.

His last namaz-e-janaza will be held at 2 pm at Sylhet Government Alia Madrasa ground.

After Janaza, he will be buried next to his parents at his family graveyard at Rayanagar in the city.

AMA Muhith, one of the country's longest-serving finance ministers, the only one who commanded the economy for 10 consecutive years, and the principal architect of the Awami League's era of development, breathed his last in the wee hours of yesterday.
