As the chief minister of undivided Bengal, Fazlul Huq had set bright the examples of development in different sectors including education, politics and social reforms in this region, he said.
In her message, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina prayed for the eternal peace of the departed soul of Sher-e-Bangla.
She said, "He struggled throughout his life for the economic emancipation of the peasants of this country."

She recalled different steps taken by Sher-e-Bangla, including the formation of the Debt Settlement Board, for the welfare of the repressed and exploited farmers.
The Prime Minister said the greatest Bengali of all time and Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman had ideological unity and political affinity with Sher-e-Bangla.
"Bangabandhu struggled throughout his life against exploitation and deprivation... He worked to build a progressive democratic and non-communal Bangladesh free from repression and exploration", she said, adding that Bangabandhu had created scope for the Bengali nation to live upholding their head high by establishing an independent Bangladesh._BSS
