Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami has expressed solidarity with the 24-hour ultimatum issued by Inqilab Moncho, demanding the immediate arrest of those responsible for the killing of Sharif Osman Hadi.
Jamaat-e-Islami Secretary General Mia Golam Parwar, urged the government to clarify its position and swiftly apprehend and prosecute Hadi’s killers.
He made the remarks while addressing a prayer gathering at Al-Falah Hall in Mogbazar on Sunday, organised by Jamaat-e-Islami to commemorate the martyrdom of Inqilab Moncho spokesperson and July Movement activist Sharif Osman Hadi.
Parwar described Hadi as a courageous revolutionary who sacrificed his life with dignity. He said Hadi’s clean and honest life had inspired the nation and the overwhelming public response to his funeral, including the participation of political leaders and millions of citizens, was unprecedented.
Highlighting the government’s inaction, Parwar demanded answers on how the killers managed to flee the country within six hours of the attack and urged an investigation into potential collusion by intelligence agencies.
He called for immediate legal action against those involved in Hadi’s murder and stressed the need to honour Hadi’s vision of a just, sovereign, and oppression-free Bangladesh.
Hadi’s elder brother, Omar bin Hadi, also addressed the gathering, calling on citizens to continue his brother’s unfinished revolutionary mission and uphold the struggle for justice and equality.
The prayer session was led by Jamaat-e-Islami Secretary General Mia Golam Parwar and included speeches by Assistant Secretaries Maulana Abdul Halim and ATM Mashum, Central Executive Council member Saiful Alam Khan Milan, Dhaka Metropolitan South Amir Nurul Islam Bulbul, North Amir Selim Uddin, former Vice President of Chaksu Ad. Jasim Uddin, and Hadi’s elder brother Omar bin Hadi. Other party officials and senior members were also present.
