A man of few words who left a mark

Supriyo Chakravarty fondly remembered

Staff Correspondent
Supriyo Chakravarty was a man of few words but he could articulate himself in a way that won people over, eminent personalities said yesterday.
They made the remarks while sharing their memories with the late freedom fighter at a programme titled "Priyo Supriyo", organised by his relatives, friends and colleagues at Chhayanaut auditorium in Dhaka's Dhanmondi.
Supriyo, a prominent income tax lawyer and husband of noted rights activist Sultana Kamal, breathed his last at a hospital in
the capital on July 29. Before death, he donated his body to Kumudini Women's Medical College for research.
Speaking at the event, National Professor Anisuzzaman said people used to be impressed by his [Supriyo's] manners and graciousness. His cordiality was outstanding.
"The way he treated people and his personality will keep him alive among us," added the professor emeritus.
Veteran cultural personality Kamal Lohani lauded Supriyo's humane outlook
and generosity. It is this kindness which made him decide to donate his body.
Supriyo was very outspoken, and was never afraid of telling truth at any situation, said Kamal.
Shaheen Anam, executive director of Manusher Jonno Foundation (MJF), said Supriyo set an example of how a man could be an ideal life partner. His relationship with Sultana was extraordinary.
“I often wondered how a person who shied away from attention could be so popular,” she added.
Renowned film actress Kobori said, "We have lost someone very near and dear to us. Wherever you are, Supriyo-da, I hope you're in bliss."
People from different professions and walks of life participated in the memorial programme - where they wished for salvation and eternal peace of the departed soul.
The Daily Star Editor and Publisher Mahfuz Anam, Liberation War Museum Trustee Sarwar Ali, Bangladesh Mahila Parishad President Ayesha Khanam, educationist Rasheda K Choudhury, Jahangirnagar University Professor Anu Muhammad and rights activist Sara Hossain, among others, attended the event.
