In both houses of the state legislature, the members observed a minute's silence in the memory of the two departed leaders.
In the Assembly, Speaker Vijay Kumar Chaudhary read out obituary references of Ray, a renowned socialist leader and Lok Sabha Speaker between 1989 and 1991, and Shahabuddin, a diplomat turned politician.
Deputy Chairperson Haroon Rashid did the same in the Legislative Council.
While 91-year-old Ray passed away in Odisha yesterday, Shahabuddin died at a hospital in Noida on March 4 last.
