A recent opinion column by Dr. Khan Zahirul Islam, published in the Bangladeshi daily *Amar Desh*, accuses multiple political and foreign actors of orchestrating the killing of July Movement leader Sharif Osman Hadi. The author claims that Hadi, portrayed as a reformist figure opposing entrenched political dynasties, was targeted for his role in challenging decades of corruption and authoritarianism. The piece alleges that four groups—former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her party, India, the opposition BNP, and certain media personalities—collectively created the conditions leading to Hadi’s death.

Dr. Islam argues that Hasina’s associates directly planned the assassination, while India allegedly provided shelter and logistical support to the perpetrators. He further criticizes BNP leaders and pro-government media figures for indirectly enabling the killing through political complacency and public defamation. The article concludes by questioning whether Bangladesh’s institutions are capable of ensuring justice for Hadi’s death, warning that failure to do so would signify a deeper moral and political crisis for the nation.
