Former BGMEA president Mostafa Golam Quddus breathed his last at Evercare Hospital, Dhaka, at 6:40 am on Saturday (Inna Lillahi Wa Inna Ilaihi Rajiun).

Mr Quddus, a freedom fighter, was born on March 4, 1949 in Cumilla. His contributions to the RMG, textiles, and financial sectors will forever be remembered, said a press release.

His first namaz-e-janaza was held at Gulshan Azad Mosque after the Zuhr prayer on Saturday. The second namaz-e-janaza was held at his village home in Chauddagram, Cumilla. He was laid to rest there.
