Bangladesh’s Ambassador to Mexico, Mushfiqul Fazal Ansarey, has called for a transparent and impartial investigation into the brutal attack on Sharif Osman Hadi, an independent candidate for Dhaka-8 and spokesperson of the Inquilab Mancha. In a Facebook post on Friday night (Bangladesh time), the envoy condemned the assault as cowardly and barbaric, urging all sides to work together rather than engage in blame games.

Ansarey, a former journalist now serving as a senior secretary-level diplomat, emphasized that Hadi represents a promising generation of courage and struggle. He said ensuring Hadi’s safety is a moral duty and urged citizens to support his family during this critical time. The ambassador also called for collective efforts to identify and punish the real perpetrators, stressing that cooperation with the government is essential to uphold democracy, elections, and the rule of law.

The incident has sparked widespread concern among civic groups and political observers, who see it as a test of Bangladesh’s commitment to political tolerance and justice.
