Professor Anisur Rahman was my teacher and guide

Any death is painful, but when it is the death of someone like Professor Anisur Rahman, it becomes incredibly hard to bear. Professor Anisur Rahman was my direct teacher. He had been suffering from various age-related complications for a long time. While he was ill, Professor Anisur Rahman was admitted to the United Hospital in the capital, where he passed away on January 5. Professor Anisur Rahman was born in 1933 in Brahmanbaria, although his ancestral home was in Kendua, Netrokona. He was one of the key organizers of the Bangladesh Liberation War. In the 1960s, he assisted in the formulation of the Six-Point Movement led by Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. After independence, he became one of the members of the first Planning Commission of Bangladesh formed under the leadership of Sheikh Mujib. His death is an irreparable loss to the nation. Every person must taste death, but it is very difficult to accept the passing of someone like Professor Anisur Rahman.
