The prime minister, Sheikh Hasina, and the opposition chief, Khaleda Zia, have condoled the death of US senator Edward Kennedy who helped mobilise international support for the Bengalis’ freedom struggle in 1971 .
   Battling brain cancer, which was diagnosed in May 2008, Kennedy died at his home in Massachusetts, Boston at the age of 77. He was one of the most influential and longest-serving senators in US history.
   The prime minister in her message recalled the unstinting support of the senator to the war of independence from Pakistan and his role in mobilising world opinion for Bangladesh.
   ‘The people of Bangladesh will remember his contribution forever.’
   Hasina expressed her deep sympathy for the members of the Kennedy family, the US government and the people.
   She said in his death Bangladesh lost a real friend.
   In her condolence message, Khaleda Zia said, ‘The late senator was a humanist and democratic personality. The people of Bangladesh will remember him forever for the role he played in mobilising world opinion in favour of Bangladesh liberation war’.
   She sympathised with the members of the Kennedy family.
   ‘The United States has lost a great leader in the death of senator Kennedy and the people of Bangladesh have lost a real friend’.
   They both prayed for him.
