Expressing deep sorrow over the demise of AZM Obaidullah, Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami's Ameer Dr. Shafiqur Rahman has issued the message of condolence on May 11.

In his condolence message, he said, Dr. AZM Obaidullah was a high-level organizer. He was involved in many children's and youth organizations. He has contributed a lot in developing the talent of children and youth and spreading Islamic education. He was very humble, polite and soft-spoken. He could make anyone his own instantly.

He has worked tirelessly for the purpose of establishing a society based on justice and fairness and has contributed a lot in the promotion and expansion of the Islamic movement. I express deep sorrow over his demise.
