Shah Azizur Rahman (1925-1988) was a former Prime Minister of Bangladesh. He was born in Kushtia in 1925. He was involved in politics from his student days and played an important role in the anti-British movement on behalf of the Muslim League.
Before the BNP was formed, in 1978 a party called the Nationalist Front was launched. At that time he joined this party along with a section of the then Muslim League. Later, under the leadership of Ziaur Rahman, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) was formed. Around that time he became an active worker of the BNP.
After Ziaur Rahman became President, he appointed Shah Azizur Rahman Prime Minister, and he was the first Prime Minister from the BNP. When Hussain Muhammad Ershad came to power in 1982, Shah Azizur Rahman was removed from office.
Like the anti-British movement, he also played a role in Bangladesh's Liberation War, though he opposed it. He even led Pakistan's diplomatic delegation to the United Nations in 1971. Although he was arrested during the Liberation War, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman set him free in 1973.
At present, a bungalow associated with his memory stands at Koipal village in Taragunia of Daulatpur upazila in Kushtia district, where he used to spend his time. But apart from a khat (bedstead) and a box, nothing of his remains there. The bungalow is looked after by a caretaker appointed by his sons.
He also established a mosque at Taragunia bazaar, known after him as the Shahi Mosque. It is one of the notable mosques of Daulatpur.
Shah Azizur Rahman passed away in 1988 at the age of 62-63.
