Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus has expressed deep shock and sorrow at the death of former Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Justice Md Abdur Rouf.
In a condolence message, the Chief Adviser prayed for the eternal peace of the departed soul and convoyed deep sympathy to the bereaved family.
Prof Yunus recalled the Justice Rouf's contribution to returning democracy in the country after assuming the charge of Chief Election Commissioner on December 25 in 1990, after the fall of dictator Ershad
on December 6, 1990, in the face of a mass movement.
"Justice Rouf will be an example time and again in the journey of Bangladesh's democracy. He will remain forever in the hearts of the country's people through his works," the chief adviser said.
Abdur Rouf, the former Appellate Division judge, breathed his last at 10AM on Sunday while undergoing treatment at Insaf Barakah Kidney and General Hospital in the capital.
