Inqilab Moncho convener Abdullah Al Jaber announced that gatherings will begin at Shahbagh in the capital from December 13, demanding justice for the killing of Shaheed Sharif Osman Hadi. He also demanded that the government make a clear decision on the case by December 18. Jaber made the announcement on Saturday, August 8, at an event in Rajganj, Cumilla city, organised by the Comilla University branch of Inqilab Moncho.

Jaber said the government must decide by December whether it will pursue justice, adding that his group would not accept unclear or evasive discussion on the issue. He described justice for Hadi’s killing as linked to Bangladesh’s independence. He said that if the mystery behind the killing is not uncovered, it could continue to be described through references to a “deep state” or other explanations.

He said the movement plans to tour all 64 districts during December and expressed a commitment to hold what he described as the largest gathering in Dhaka’s history. Jaber said a movement requires an organised environment, rather than repeated statements alone, and called for unity around the demand for justice. Inqilab Moncho members, invited guests, student leaders and university students attended the event.
