He said the body would be flown to Dashmina by helicopter from Dhaka on Friday morning.

AHM Jahangir was elected as a Member of Parliament four times from the Patuakhali-3 constituency (Galachipa-Dashmina). He was Minister of State for Textiles in the Sheikh Hasina government in 1996.

Akhm Jahangir, a former student at Dhaka University, has been involved in politics since his student days. He was general secretary of the Chhatra League in 1981-83. He later joined the Awami League and became a Member of Parliament in 1991, 1996 and 2001.

After the state of emergency was declared in 2008, Akhm Jahangir’s name also emerged in the Awami League as a reformist. As a result, he was not nominated for the party in the 2008 elections.

Later, when he admitted to having acted badly for his work, he was re-elected in the 2014 elections and became a member of Parliament.

Although he was not nominated in the last parliamentary elections, he was appointed to the central committee of the Awami League.

He is survived by his wife, son and daughter.
