Across Bangladesh, thousands participated in funeral prayers and rallies on Saturday mourning Sharif Osman Hadi, spokesperson of Inqilab Manch, who was recently killed under disputed circumstances. Events took place in districts including Gopalganj, Rajshahi, Jamalpur, and Naogaon, where participants prayed for Hadi’s soul and called for the immediate arrest and maximum punishment of his killers.

Speakers at various gatherings alleged that Hadi was targeted for his outspoken stance against Indian influence and government policies. Political and student leaders from Jamaat-e-Islami, BNP, and other groups joined the programs, emphasizing the need to end the culture of impunity. In Rajshahi, Jamaat’s central leader Professor Mujibur Rahman criticized the interim government for failing to ensure Hadi’s safety.

Protesters warned of intensified demonstrations if arrests are not made promptly. The widespread response underscores growing public frustration over political violence and demands for accountability in Bangladesh’s volatile political landscape.
