"On his death, the nation lost a great son of the soil and a true democrat,” the former minister said in a message.
The death of Syed Ashraf has created “a vacuum in the political arena of the country for a long time to come", the member of the BNP’s policymaking National Standing Committee added.
Syed Ashraf was a member of the ruling party’s presidium when he breathed his last at a hospital in Thailand on Thursday night after a long battle with cancer.
He is hailed as one of those who raised the ethical bar in Bangladesh’s politics and left behind a legacy of higher moral standards for future politicians.
