CA Pays Tribute at Shaheed Hadi’s Janaza
Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus today joined the namaj-e-janaza of Shaheed Sharif Osman Hadi at the South Plaza of the Sangsad Bhaban here this afternoon. Advisers of the interim government, senior government officials as well as hundreds of thousands of people from all walks of life also joined his janaza and offered prayers seeking forgiveness of the departed soul of Shaheed Hadi.
Hadi's elder brother Mawlana Dr Abu Bakar Siddique administered the namaj-e-janaza. Earlier, Prof Yunus spoke on the occasion as Religious Affairs Adviser A F M Khalid Hossain also addressed and read out the biography of Shaheed Hadi. Inqilab Mancha Member Secretary Abdullah Al Zaber spoke on the occasion as well.
The South Plaza of the Sangsad Bhaban and the entire Manik Mia Avenue witnessed a mixed scenario of emotion and resistance as some of the people broke into tears for Hadi while others were chanting slogans against fascism and hegemony as well as demanding trial for Hadi killing. Sharif Osman Hadi, the fearless frontline fighter of the July Uprising and spokesperson of the Inqilab Mancha, was shot on December 12 while he was on a battery-run auto-rickshaw in the city's Paltan area.
He was immediately rushed to Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) and later shifted to Evercare Hospital on the same day as his condition deteriorated. On December 15, Hadi was taken to Singapore by air ambulance for better treatment, where he succumbed to his bullet injuries on Thursday night, casting a shadow of grief over the entire nation. Hadi, also an aspiring independent candidate for Dhaka-8, is regarded as "an immortal soldier of the struggle against fascism and hegemony".
