PM mourns death of Bir Protik Kakon Bibi

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Thursday expressed deep shock and sorrow at the death of gallantry award-recipient freedom fighter Kakon Bibi.

In a condolence message, the Prime Minister recalled the outstanding contributions of the valiant freedom fighter in the great Liberation War in 1971.

Sheikh Hasina said Kakon Bibi joined the Liberation War keeping her three-day-old daughter away. 

"She took part in the frontal war and also worked as a spy during the war," the PM said.

She said the nation and the country will ever-remember the unique contributions of Kakon Bibi, who was tortured by the Pakistani occupation forces.

Hasina prayed for eternal peace of the departed soul and conveyed profound sympathy to the bereaved family.

Kakon Bibi breathed her last on Wednesday night at Sylhet MAG Osmani Medical College and Hospital, reports UNB.
