Mahmudur Rahman, editor of the Bangladeshi newspaper *Amar Desh*, has called on citizens to remain calm following the death of activist Sharif Osman Hadi in a Singapore hospital on Thursday night. Hadi, described as a young leader in the anti-Indian hegemony movement, passed away while undergoing treatment. Rahman expressed deep sorrow and urged the government to grant Hadi a state funeral and declare a national day of mourning in recognition of his contributions.

In his statement, Rahman emphasized that Hadi’s revolutionary ideals should inspire future generations and asked supporters to attend the funeral peacefully and in an orderly manner. He warned that “enemies of the nation” might exploit any unrest arising from public emotion over Hadi’s death. Rahman also prayed for patience and strength for Hadi’s family and colleagues.

The call for restraint comes amid heightened political sensitivities, as authorities reportedly denied permission for funeral prayers in Singapore. Observers note that Rahman’s appeal seeks to prevent potential clashes while maintaining Hadi’s symbolic legacy within nationalist circles.
