“Abed was unnatural friend of the poor”

Former Caretaker Government Adviser Akbar Ali Khan has said “Sir Fazle Hasan Abed was an unnatural friend of the poor.”

He told reporters at the Army stadium in the capital on Sunday while paying tributes to Sir Fazle Hasan Abed.

Akbar Ali Khan said “The poor people of Bangladesh have lost a genuine friend through the death of Fazle Hasan Abed. He used to think about the distressed and worked for them about 50 years. He knew a lot, but he used to learn and love to learn.”

“Sir Fazle Hasan Abed established BRAC as a learning center. World people have known Bangladesh for his BRAC. He left such a model of eliminating poverty from Bangladesh, which will be used to reduce the poverty of the world”, he added.
