BASHIR AHMAD MSP

That this House expresses sadness at the death of Bashir Ahmad, who made history on his election as the first Scots-Asian Member of the Scottish Parliament; extends its sympathy and condolences to Bashir Ahmad's family and friends; and believes that as the first Muslim Member of the Scottish Parliament, and a man of faith and dignity, his contribution to Scotland's democratic process and community relations over many years leaves a proud legacy for all of Scotland.
