The first Namaz-e-janaza of Mannan Bhuiyan was held at about 11:15am at the South Plaza on the Parliament premises, ATN Bangla reports.
Several ministers, parliamentarians, leaders and his former party colleagues attended the janaza.
Second Janaza of Mannan Bhuiyan will be held at Baitul Mokarram after Zohr prayers.
He will be buried at his home village in Narshingdi following the third janaza in the afternoon.
Bhuiyan had undergone medical treatment since May 31 at Singapore National University Hospital.
The former LGRD minister was brought back in Bangladesh on July 7 and was on life-support at the intensive care unit of the Square Hospital since his return.
