‘Interim govt can’t avoid responsibility..:’ Brother of slain Inqilab Moncho Convenor Sharif Osman bin Hadi makes BIG allegation against Yunus govt, states cannot escape….

Bangladesh has witnessed a fresh wave of unrest following the death of Hadi last week. Hadi was a prominent face in the anti-government protests that forced the collapse of the Sheikh Hasina government. Amid the fresh protests, a Hindu man, Dipu Chandra Das, was killed in Bangladesh’s Mymensingh. Meanwhile, the brother of the slain Inqilab Moncho Convenor, Sharif Osman bin Hadi, has made a strong statement.

Who made the allegation against the Yunus government?

The brother of slain Inqilab Moncho Convenor Sharif Osman bin Hadi has held the Mohammad Yunus-led interim government responsible for the murder. He stated his brother, Sharif Osman Hadi, has been murdered by the Bangladesh Interim Government to further destabilise the country and prevent the upcoming national elections scheduled for February. Addressing protesters in Shahbagh on Tuesday, Sharif Omar bin Hadi said those currently in power cannot escape liability for the murder of his brother, which occurred shortly after the announcement of the election schedule.

What is the allegation made by Sharif Osman bin Hadi’s brother?

He was shot in the head on December 12 by masked gunmen at an election campaign in central Dhaka’s Bijoynagar area. He died while undergoing treatment in Singapore on December 18. Furthermore, he stated “the interim government cannot avoid responsibility” for his murder and will ultimately face trial for failing to protect him, reported bdnews24. Sharif Omar bin Hadi noted that because the murder occurred while the current administration held state power, they cannot escape liability and must eventually stand trial, whether it be today or in a decade. Omar Hadi claimed that following the killing, attempts were being made to disrupt the general elections, reported bdnews24.

When did the incident involving Sharif Osman bin Hadi take place?

During the Inquilab Moncho group’s Shahidi Shopoth programme, Omar Hadi claimed that there is a “quarter inside the government” planning Osman’s murder to interfere with the elections. He claimed Osman was targeted specifically because he would not submit to another authority or an outsider. He also warned that if Osman’s murderers were not punished, they would have to flee the country eventually. Protesters also pledged to keep protesting until “rapid & impressive justice” was provided.

He claimed Osman was targeted specifically because he would not submit to another authority or a foreign master. He also warned that if Osman’s murderers were not punished, those responsible would have to flee the country eventually. Protesters also pledged to keep protesting until “speed and exemplary justice” was provided. “It is you who had Osman Hadi killed, and now you are trying to foil the election by using this as an issue,” Omar Hadi was quoted as saying by The DailyStar.

It is to be noted India(BHARAT) last Wednesday too summoned Bangladesh envoy Hamidullah and conveyed its strong concern over certain extremist elements announcing plans to create a security situation around the India(BHARAT)n mission in Dhaka.

Omar also accused authorities of trying to exploit the murder to “sabotage” the election, a move he vowed would never succeed. He added that Hadi had insisted that the country hold elections in February and had actively prepared for it on the ground, but his murder was intended to hinder the process.The Hadi family’s accusations follows the assertion by former Bangladesh PM Sheik Hasina who squarely blamed the interim government for the spiral of violence.
