Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami’s Acting Ameer and former member of parliament Professor Mujibur Rahman issued the following condolence on 1st January 2023 expressing deep condolence at the death of Supreme Court Bar Association’s former President and BNP’s Vice Chairman, veteran lawyer Khandaker Mahbub Hossain.
Supreme Court Bar Association’s former President and BNP’s Vice Chairman, veteran lawyer Khandaker Mahbub Hossain took his last breath while undergoing treatment at Dhaka’s Evercare Hospital on 31st December night. Innalillahi Wa Inna Ilaihi Rajiun. I am expressing deep shock at his death.
He was the court’s chief prosecutor, which was formed in 1973 to try the perpetrators under the collaborators’ law. Khandaker Mahbub Hossain also discharged duties as the Bangladesh Supreme Court Bar Association president and Vice-Chairman of the Bangladesh Bar Council. He was the advisor to the Prime Minister from 2009 to 2016. In 2016, he became the vice chairman of BNP’s central executive committee.
He was a vocal person and acted as a symbol of justice. He was proactive in preserving and protecting the freedom of the judiciary. He has struggled throughout his life to establishing rule of law, truth, and justice. He also played a pivotal role as the lawyer of the defence team in the international crimes tribunal. The Islam-loving people will always remember him for his stand for truth. The nation lost a prominent lawyer and veteran politician at his demise. I am praying for his departed soul and extending sympathy to his mournful family members and colleagues.
