Besides hundreds of organisation leaders came to central Shaheed Minar to pay last homage to him.

If he wanted to earn money from politics, he could do it easily and he would have been provided with good posts."

"Those who want to do politics from this generation, shall follow his ideal as he is a good example of a politician," he added.

After paying floral tribute, Mohammad Akhtaruzzaman said, "Pankaj Bhattacharya was a leader of mass people who sacrificed his life for the people. He had some extraordinary values, which attracted poor people and for this reason he himself turned into an organisation. "

"His contribution in the political ground of Bangladesh is unforgettable as he empowered democratic values and tightened the bond of friendship among the people and political organisations," he furthermore said.

"His death is undoubtedly an unrecoverable loss in the political ground of Bangladesh," he added.
