Create a society where no one’s body is left unclaimed: CA

Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus has praised Anjuman Mufidul Islam for its long-standing humanitarian work, particularly in burying unclaimed bodies and caring for orphans.

“I don’t know if such an institution exists elsewhere in the subcontinent. Anjuman is carrying out its work as a historical and unique organisation,” he said.

He made the remarks at a doa and iftar mahfil hosted by Anjuman Mufidul Islam at its Kakrail office yesterday.

The chief adviser also inaugurated “Anjuman JR Tower”, a new building of the charity, and joined an iftar with orphans.

“No matter how remote or difficult the situation, Anjuman Mufidul Islam recovers unclaimed bodies and arranges their burial across the country,” Prof Yunus said.

He noted the organisation’s crucial role during the Covid-19 pandemic.

“Anjuman waits for unclaimed bodies wherever they are found but never publicises its activities,” he said, adding that its name is deeply tied to the history of Bangladesh and Muslim society.

Expressing gratitude for the opportunity to witness its work firsthand, the chief adviser said he does not want to see unclaimed bodies anywhere in the country.

“Burial is good, but our goal should be that no one’s body is left unclaimed,” he said.

He urged people to address social flaws and contribute to the welfare of society.

Prof Yunus also expressed his appreciation for those who have long supported Anjuman Mufidul Islam with their dedication, talent, and resources.

He hoped the organisation would expand its activities further.

Advisers Dr Salehuddin Ahmed and Ali Imam Majumder, Anjuman Mufidul Islam President Mufleh R Osmany, and Vice-President Ghulam Rahman were present.
