Bangladesh’s national political leaders have expressed deep sorrow over the death of Sharif Osman Hadi, spokesperson of Inquilab Moncho and a potential parliamentary candidate for Dhaka-8. In a joint statement issued Friday, leaders from multiple alliances including Ganatantra Moncho, Democratic Reform Alliance, and Liberal Democratic Party described Hadi as a fearless and patriotic leader who fought for a humane and democratic Bangladesh until his final days.

The statement also condemned recent attacks on media outlets such as Prothom Alo, The Daily Star, and cultural group Chhayanaut, calling them part of a wider conspiracy against democratic values. Leaders demanded immediate arrest of Hadi’s killers, investigation into the murder, and prosecution of those responsible. They further criticized the interim government for failing to manage the crisis effectively, alleging that inconsistent official statements had worsened the situation.

In addition, the leaders denounced the killing of a Hindu man in Mymensingh, urging swift legal action. They emphasized that Hadi’s vision of social harmony and democratic transformation must continue beyond his death.
