Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus on Monday expressed deep shock and sorrow at the death of former Principal Secretary, eminent administrator, economist and social scientist Dr Kamal Uddin Siddiqui.
“Dr Kamal Siddiqui was a shining star in administration, development thinking and academic research. He was an honest, visionary and dedicated public servant who worked to modernise the administrative structure of the country,” the Chief Adviser said in a condolence message.
The nation will remember his contributions as a valiant freedom fighter, researcher and policymaker with profound respect, he said.
“I had a long-standing friendship with Dr Kamal Siddiqui. We often discussed the country’s future, administrative reforms and international experiences. He was a man of integrity, humility and patriotism. Personally, I have lost a dear friend and a wise companion,” Professor Yunus added.
Expressing his grief, the Chief Adviser said, “Due to the country’s hostile and vindictive politics, he was forced to leave the country several times. He had to endure harassment through multiple unjust cases, which was deeply unfortunate. Yet he never deviated from his values or patriotism.”
