profound shock and sorrow at the death of Khandaker Muniruzzaman,
valiant freedom fighter and acting editor of the Dainik Sangbad.
In a message of condolence, he said, Muniruzzaman, a truly
professional journalist, made objective journalism until his death and

A lot of well-known journalists took their first lessons from the
noted journalist, he said.

Muniruzzaman.

departed soul and conveyed deep sympathy to the bereaved family.
