This is truly heartbreaking. A leader who came from an academic background and served the public for two terms. His dedication was evident. May his soul rest in peace. The PM and CM's messages show the respect he commanded.

Very unfortunate. It's scary how heart attacks can strike anyone, anytime. We need more awareness about heart health in India. A big loss for Faridpur constituency. Hope his family gets the strength to bear this loss.

While the condolences are appropriate, this also highlights a serious issue. Our politicians often have incredibly stressful schedules with little focus on personal health. Perhaps there should be mandatory health check-ups for all public representatives? Just a thought.
