'''Sheikh Abu Naser''' (1928-1975) was a [[Bangladesh]]i politician and the only brother of the first [[President of Bangladesh]], [[Sheikh Mujibur Rahman]].<ref>{{cite book|title=Janata|date=1971|page=326|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=zDlWAAAAYAAJ&q=Sheikh+Abu+Naser|access-date=1 August 2017|language=en}}</ref> He was the uncle of the present [[Prime Minister of Bangladesh]], [[Sheikh Hasina]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Nation observes first day of painful August with various programmes|url=http://www.bssnews.net/newsDetails.php?cat=0&id=679774&date=2017-08-01|work=Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha|access-date=1 August 2017|language=en}}</ref>

==Early life==
His elder brother was [[Sheikh Mujibur Rahman]] and he had 4 sisters.<ref>{{cite book|title=Bangladesh|date=1974|publisher=Embassy of Bangladesh.|page=10|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=OHAwAQAAIAAJ&q=%22Sheikh+Abu+Naser%22|access-date=1 August 2017|language=en}}</ref>

==Career==
Naser had a prosperous clearing and forwarding agency in the erstwhile [[East Pakistan]]. He earned almost Rs. 40,000 per month and employed mostly Hindus. His business was destroyed by the [[Pakistan Army]], rendering him penniless, and Naser fled to neighboring [[India]] with nothing except a [[lungi]] and a shirt. He left his wife and children back in [[Bangladesh]], whose whereabouts he was unaware of. The former communications minister and Muslim League leader [[Abdus Sabur Khan]] attempted to bribe Naser in order to persuade him to convince his brother Sheikh Mujibur Rahman to accept the 4-point program of [[General Yahya Khan]]. Abdus Sabur Khan promised Naser that if he could convince his brother, then Naser would get many lucrative contracts in [[West Pakistan]]. Naser refused to accept the bribe and exclaimed that Mujib would rather die than sacrifice his principles.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book|title=Women on the March, Volumes 15-16|publisher=Smt.
