Ex-minister Nazmul Huda passes away
Noted lawyer and politician Nazmul Huda passed away on Sunday night. He was 80.
The veteran politician breathed his last while undergoing treatment in the city’s Square Hospital.
He became information minister after BNP came to power in 1991. Huda was minister of communications during BNP-led 4-party alliance government from 2001–2006.
He was a 4-term Jatiya Sangsad member representing the Dhaka-1 constituency.
Huda was founding member of Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP).
The party, however, expelled him in November 2010 for breaking ‘organisational discipline’.
After that Nazmul Huda formed political parties Bangladesh Nationalist Front (BNF), Bangladesh National Alliance (BNA) and Bangladesh Manabadhikar Party (BMP).
Later in November 2015, he formed another political party named Trinamool BNP.
Trinamool BNP got registered with the election commission as a political party following a court order on 16 February this year.
