At a discussion and prayer event in Nalchity, Jhalokathi, the sister of Inquilab Mancha spokesperson Sharif Osman bin Hadi declared that their movement against Indian dominance and domestic corruption would continue. She asserted that India has never been a true friend of Bangladesh and that only a just state could stand against foreign influence. The event was organized by the Jhalokathi district branch of the National Citizen Party (NCP) following an attack on Osman bin Hadi.

Family members demanded the immediate arrest of those responsible for the assault, warning that the interim government would not be allowed to leave office with dignity if justice was not served. The meeting was chaired by NCP’s joint coordinator Mufti Masum Billah and attended by several local political and religious leaders. The gathering reflected growing frustration among activists over perceived political violence and foreign interference.

Observers note that the call for justice and anti-hegemony rhetoric may intensify political tensions in the lead-up to national elections, as smaller parties seek to assert nationalist narratives.
