Advisory committee member of the Awami League Suranjit Sengupta said martyred national leader Tajuddin Ahmad would remain as an ever-illuminating figure in the country's political history.
Tajuddin, who was one of those few prominent leaders after Sheikh Mujib, made immense contribution in organising the nationalist movement for self-determination and country's independence, he said.
Suranjit was addressing a discussion organised by the 'Bangabandhu and Four National Leader Council' at Dhaka Reporters' Unity marking the 86th birth anniversary of the great leader.
'A man like Tajuddin never dies, they are immortal,' Suranjit, who is also the chairman of the parliamentary standing committee on law, justice and parliamentary affairs, said.
Recalling the wisdom and depth of knowledge of Tajuddin he said, 'Tajuddin was a living encyclopaedia at his time'. 'He was a well-educated and gentle figure and on the other hand his political insight and perception was very sharp'.
Acting president of the council Mozaffar Hossain was in the chair while chairman of the parliamentary standing committee on ministry of land AKM Mozammel Hossain was present as special guest. General secretary of the council HM Sujan, spoke, among others, on the occasion.
Suranjit said the contribution of Tajuddin, first prime minister of Bangladesh, would be evaluated more positively in the coming days if the country's history continued its journey in the present course.
He urged the new generation to follow the ideals of the farsighted leader to build themselves as capable leader for the future.
