Jahanara Huq’s 2nd death anniv

Today is the second death anniversary of freedom fighter Jahanara Huq, mother of Law Minister Anisul Huq.

She died on April 18, 2020 at a Dhaka hospital. She was 86.

Jahanara left behind her son Anisul Huq and a host of relatives and well-wishers.

Jahanara's husband Advocate Serajul Huq -- who was a close aide to Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman -- died on October 28, 2002.

Her son Ariful Huq Rony passed away in 2017 in Dallas, USA, and her only daughter Saima Islam died in Dhaka in 2018.

Anisul Huq will distribute foods among the orphans in Dhaka today. Besides, Awami League and its front organisations have organised programmes including dua and iftar mahfils at Kasba and Akharua in Brahmanbaria to mark the day.
