Bangladesh President Md. Shahabuddin has expressed profound sorrow over the death of Sharif Osman Hadi, spokesperson of the political platform Inqilab Manch. In a condolence message issued Thursday, the President extended sympathy to Hadi’s family. Hadi died in a Singapore hospital after sustaining injuries from an attack during an election campaign in Bijoynagar a week earlier.

Following Hadi’s death, Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus addressed the nation Thursday night and declared Saturday a day of national mourning. The incident has sparked widespread reactions across the political spectrum, with calls for a transparent investigation into the assault that led to Hadi’s death.

Authorities confirmed that Hadi’s funeral could not be held in Singapore due to administrative restrictions. His death has intensified discussions about political violence and campaign security ahead of the upcoming national elections, prompting renewed appeals for peace and accountability.
