CHATTOGRAM, May 28, 2026 (BSS) – The eighth death anniversary of Syed Wahidul Alam, a former Whip of the Jatiya Sangsad, a prominent senior BNP and a repeatedly elected Member of Parliament from the Chattogram-5 (Hathazari-Bayezid) constituency, was observed on Wednesday. 
 
A highly respected figure in national and regional politics, late Syed Wahidul Alam previously served as an advisor to the BNP Chairperson and as the convener of the Chattogram City BNP. Over his extensive political career, he earned a reputation for integrity, courageous leadership and grass-roots engagement, making him a trusted leader among the residents of Hathazari and the broader Chattogram region.
 
To mark the anniversary, his daughter, Barrister Sakila Farzana, who serves as a Member of Parliament for a reserved women's seat, arranged a Khatme Quran and Doa Mahfil on behalf of the family. 
 
Family members, along with political figures, visited the late leader's grave in the Laliarhat area along the Chattogram-Hathazari road to pay their respects.
 
Special prayers were offered seeking the eternal peace and forgiveness of his departed soul. 
 
The event drew a large gathering of leaders and activists from various tiers of the party and its affiliates, including the Hathazari Upazila BNP, Poursava BNP and Bayezid Thana BNP.
 
Speaking on the occasion, Barrister Sakila Farzana said, "My father Syed Wahidul Alam was a true leader of the people. Transcending political ideologies, he consistently prioritized regional development and the welfare of citizens. His principles and dedicated life will continue to serve as an inspiration for future generations."
