Advocate Badruddoza Gama (born: 1937, died: 29 July 2017) was a veteran guardian figure of Kushtia. In his short life he earned many identities — broadly, member of parliament, municipal father, district council chairman and social worker.
His footprints were in every lane and by-lane of this town. All his life he did as much as he could for people and for society. Though only half his age, I sat with him at various events in this town many times. Those days will be remembered again and again. His gentle voice and his non-violent attitude towards all will remain written in letters of gold. These words have been recalled by Dr Amanur Aman.
He has left behind his wife, relatives and countless admirers. Badruddoza Gama was childless. In 1984–88 he was elected a member of parliament from the Kushtia-3 (Sadar) seat on the Jatiya Party ticket. He also served as chairman of Kushtia pourashava.
At that time he was serving as a vice-chairman of the central committee of the Jatiya Party. He was also president of the Bangladesh Probin Hitaisi Sangha (Senior Citizens' Welfare Association), Kushtia district branch, and was involved with various social and cultural organisations. He was a resident of the Thanapara area of Kushtia town.
