The second namaz-e-janaza of Jatiya Party chairman HM Ershad was held at the South Plaza of the Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban in the capital on Monday morning.

President M Abdul Hamid attended the janaza at about 10:30 am.

His colleagues, senior political leaders, ministers, advisers, deputy ministers, whips, lawmakers, senior civil and military officials and thousands of party supporters and well-wishers thronged the South Plaza of the Parliament Complex to pray for Ershad’s departed soul.

They also took part in a munajat seeking doa for eternal peace of the departed soul.

Earlier, the first namaz-e-janaza of former president HM Ershad was held at the Army Central Mosque after Zohr prayers on Sunday.

The janaza took place around 1:45pm.

Ershad, a former military strongman, died on Sunday morning while undergoing treatment at the Combined Military Hospital (CMH). He was 89.

Ershad, a former president and five-time MP, breathed his last at 7:45am.

After the second janaja, his body will be taken to the party’s central office at Kakrail to allow Jatiya Party leaders and activists to pay their last respects. After Asr, another janaza will be held at Baitul Mukarram National Mosque.

His body will be kept at the CMH mortuary. Later, Ershad's mortal remains will be taken to his home district Rangpur on Tuesday where his fourth janaza will be held after Zohr prayers at the Zilla School ground. He will be laid to rest at the Military Graveyard in Banani in the capital on the same day.

Ershad’s Qulkhwani will be held on Wednesday at Gulshan’s Azad mosque.
