Nezami was taken to Islami Bank Central Hospital after he fell sick in the evening where he breathed his last around 8:25pm.
Rashedul Haque, younger son of Nezami, said his father collapsed in the bathroom when he went there to preform Oju (ablution) for Magrib prayers.
“We brought him to the Islami Bank Hospital where doctors declared him dead,” he said.
Doctors said his father suffered brain haemorrhage.
Nezami left behind wife, two sons, two daughters and a host of relatives, well-wishers and followers to mourn his death.
Rashed said the dead boy of the IOJ leader will be taken to his village home in Narsingdi’s Shibpur upazila at night as he will be buried there after a namaz-e-janaza.
Alongside doing politics, Nezami used to write columns in different newspapers. He was also the editor and publisher of the “Dainik Sarker’.
IOJ had long been there in the BNP-led alliance since its formation.
However, a faction of the party, led by Nezami, quit the BNP’s 20-party alliance on June 7, 2016. Another faction, led by MA Rakib, is still with the 20-pary alliance.
Before the 8th parliament election, BNP formed a four-party alliance with IOJ, led by Fazlul Haque Amini and Nezami, Jatiya Party and Jamaat in 1999.
The four-party alliance was extended to a 20-party one in 2012.
