Deputy Speaker Advocate Md Fazle Rabbi Miah, MP, has passed away in New York while undergoing treatment there. 

His first Namaz-e-Janaza will be held after Zohr prayers on Saturday (23 July) at Jamaica Muslim Center, New York, according to  Bangladesh Consulate General in New York.

His body will arrive Dhaka at 8:40 am on Monday by an Emirates flight from New York, reports BSS.

After arrival of the body, his namaz-e-janaza will be held at the National Parliament followed by second one on the Supreme Court premises.

Then, his body will be taken to Gaibandha as he will be buried at his family graveyard after another namaz-e-janaja at the Bharatkhali school ground there.

The 76-year-old valiant freedom fighter fought against the Pakistan Army in Sector 11 during the Liberation War of Bangladesh in 1971.
