Family sources said Nur-e-Alam Siddiqui died early
Wednesday morning while undergoing treatment at United Hospital in the city.
Nur-e- Alam Siddique was born on 26 May, 1940 in
the then Jhenaidah sub-division of Jashore district (Jhenidah Circuit House
Para).
Siddique, former Convener of the Chattra League
Foundation, was also a genius student leader in his 70's, as he served as the
president of the Bangladesh Chattra League during 1970-1972.
He played a vibrant role in all the political
movements, including the Six-Point Movement and the Language Movement.
Siddique was also elected a parliament member as a
candidate of the Bangladesh Awami League from Jashore -2 constituency after
participating in the first national parliamentary elections held in 1973.
The Liberation War veteran also participated in
the seventh and eighth national parliament elections as a candidate of the
ruling Awami League in 1996 and 2001 but got defeated in both the elections.
He left behind his wife, two sons, a daughter, a
host of relatives, friends and well-wishers to mourn his death.
A pall of gloom has descended on Jhenidah
following his death.
