Although there are differences of opinion and path in politics, people's love is above all, an emotional example of the funeral of former Member of Parliament of Laxmipur-2 (Rautpur) Constituency Alhaj Harunur Rashid was seen. A large number of people from different classes and professions joined Ratpur to give him the last bid to him beyond the various equations of political identification. His spontaneous participation of people in his funeral has sparked discussion in the upazila.
On Wednesday (November 11) at 9 am on the ground of Ratapur Government Merchants Academy, his second funeral prayer was held at the grounds of various political, social, cultural, business and Kriza organizations and activists from all walks of life.
Former President of Upazila BNP and President of Laxmipur District Lawyers Association Advocate Monirul Islam Howladar, Advocate Abdul Mannan Munshi, Senior Advocate Mizanur Rahman Munshi, Upazila BNP President Nazmul Islam Mithu, Municipal BNP President ABM Jilani, General Secretary VP Nazrul Islam Liton, Raatpur Bazar Banik Samiti President Saiful Islam Murad, and Charpata Majibul Haque Academy Headmaster spoke before the funeral.
Harunur Rashid was a member of the Advisory Council of the banned Awami League, political reality, his party identity. Although there was talk, his funeral was especially noticeable.
Before this, his first funeral was held in Dhaka. After the second funeral in Rakhtpur, the third funeral was held in the mosque in front of his home.
Harunur Rashid was elected Member of Parliament in the Laxmipur-2 seat by-election in 1996. He was known in the country's cricket as well as the founding general secretary of Abahani Krija Chakra and five times general secretary of Bangladesh Football Federation. His death has created a tragedy in the political and field of Rashtpur.
