Inquilab Manch, a political platform led by Sharif Osman Hadi, organized a protest rally in Dhaka on Saturday following an armed attack on Hadi, an independent aspirant for the Dhaka-8 constituency in the upcoming 13th National Parliamentary Election. The rally, titled 'Outraged Citizens’ Assembly and Mass Resistance,' took place in front of the National Museum at Shahbagh, drawing supporters and political activists demanding justice. Speakers at the event, including AB Party’s General Secretary Barrister Asaduzzaman Fuad, NCP organizer Hasnat Abdullah, and journalist Mahmudur Rahman, condemned the attack and criticized mainstream political parties for fostering a culture of impunity. They called for unity against what they described as “cultural fascism” and external political influence. Dhaka University student leader Fatema Tasnim Juma urged continued resistance in defense of sovereignty and democracy. Hadi was shot in the Bijoynagar area on Friday, a day after the election schedule was announced. He remains in critical condition at a private hospital in Dhaka. Police have yet to identify the assailants, and investigations are ongoing.
