A massive funeral prayer for Sharif Osman Bin Hadi, spokesperson of the Inqilab Mancha, was held on Saturday, December 20, 2025, at the South Plaza of Bangladesh’s National Parliament. The event drew millions of mourners, marking one of the largest public gatherings in the nation’s history since the funeral of former President Ziaur Rahman. Attendees included members of the interim government, political leaders from various parties, foreign diplomats, and citizens from all walks of life.

Security was unprecedented, with police, RAB, Ansar, and army personnel deployed across Manik Mia Avenue and surrounding areas. Over a thousand body-worn cameras and advanced surveillance technologies were used to maintain order. Hadi’s body was brought to the site in a large mourning procession before being buried beside national poet Kazi Nazrul Islam at Dhaka University Mosque Complex.

Hadi, who was shot on December 12 during an election campaign in Bijoynagar, succumbed to his injuries in Singapore on December 18. His death has sparked widespread mourning and renewed discussions on political violence and national unity.
