Bangladesh’s Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus is set to deliver a televised address to the nation following the death of Sharif Osman Hadi, the convener of the Inquilab Mancha movement. The speech will be broadcast simultaneously on Bangladesh Television and BTV News, according to a statement from the Chief Adviser’s press wing on Thursday night.

Hadi, who had been critically injured by gunfire earlier this month, passed away on Thursday in a Singapore hospital while undergoing treatment. His death has sparked widespread public reaction and renewed discussions about political violence and accountability in Bangladesh. Social media platforms have been flooded with tributes, including poems and songs dedicated to Hadi.

Yunus’s address is expected to focus on the government’s response to the incident, calls for calm, and possible measures to prevent further unrest. Observers suggest the speech could mark a pivotal moment for the interim administration as it navigates rising political tensions and public demands for justice.
