Jihadist mobster Osman Hadi buried beside national poet amid protests

Despite intense protests from pro-liberation forces and secular segments of society, Sharif Osman Goni, aka Osman Hadi—a state-sponsored jihadist mobster—was buried on Saturday, next to the grave of Bangladesh’s national poet Kazi Nazrul Islam, adjacent to the Central Jame Mosque at Dhaka University.

For days leading up to the burial, thousands of citizens aligned with the 1971 Liberation War vehemently opposed the decision to inter Hadi at this revered site.

They condemned it as a shameful national insult, arguing that the Yunus administration was effectively honouring a supporter of radical jihadism and mob violence with heroic status by declaring a day of state mourning, and now granting him burial beside Nazrul, the rebel poet who symbolised anti-colonial resistance and secular nationalism.

Dhaka University’s pro-Jamaat Vice-Chancellor Professor Niaz Ahmad Khan defended the decision, stating: “Martyr Sharif Osman Hadi has become part of history. May Allah accept his sacrifice for the country.” He added that Hadi’s family is part of the “extended family” of the university, and burying him beside Nazrul was the ultimate honour: “We believe Dhaka University has embraced its son, like a mother embracing her child.”

The burial followed a funeral prayer led by Hadi’s elder brother. Present at the ceremony were family members, jihadist patron and editor of Amar Desh newspaper Mahmudur Rahman, Vice-Chancellor Dr. Niaz Ahmed Khan and senior university officials, National Citizens Party leaders, including Member Secretary Akhtar Hossain and mobster Hasnat Abdullah.

Mahmudur Rahman declared: “Today I prayed the janaza with ordinary people. The Chief Adviser invited me, but I did not go. Allah has accepted Hadi as a martyr. He is the third martyr accepted by Allah against Indian hegemony.”

Around 3pm, the ambulance carrying Osman Hadi’s body reached the Dhaka University central mosque graveyard.

The rally at Shahbagh, which began on Thursday night after the death news broke, resumed around 4pm on Saturday, with slogans like “Inqilab Zindabad” and “Naraye Taqbir” in the air. On Friday, al-Qaeda cleric Jasimuddin Rahmani administered the Jumma prayers at Shahbagh, triggering massive criticism.

Brother Demands Justice for Assassination

Hadi’s elder brother and janaza imam, Dr. Maulana Abu Bakr Siddique, demanded public justice for the killing during an emotional speech before the funeral prayer at the South Plaza of the National Parliament.

“It has been 7-8 days. If the killer shoots in broad daylight and gets away, there is no greater shame. How did they cross the border in 5-7 hours? I leave these questions to the nation,” he said, insisting he had no personal demands but that his brother had achieved martyrdom as he desired.

However, he vowed never to relent on one debt: “I want to see justice for Sharif Osman Hadi carried out openly on this soil of Bangladesh.” He described Hadi as the youngest of six siblings, whose death had devastated the family, leaving his children traumatised and their mother on the verge of insanity. “May Allah grant him Jannatul Ferdous and help us protect Bangladesh as an island of Tawhid (monotheism).”

Yunus Eulogises Hadi as Eternal Inspiration

US deep state puppet, son of a Muslim League leader and Chief Adviser Dr. Muhammad Yunus attended the funeral at Parliament’s South Plaza and delivered a glowing tribute, vowing that Hadi would live forever in the nation’s consciousness.

“Dear Hadi, you will not be lost. No one will ever forget you. You will remain with us for ages,” Yunus said, adding that the gathering was not to bid farewell but to pledge fulfilment of Hadi’s vision.

“We have accepted with heart and soul your love for humanity, your demeanour, your interactions with people. Everyone praises your political outlook—we will keep it alive and follow it.”

Yunus claimed Hadi had left an unforgettable “mantra”: “Bol Bir, Chir Unnata Mama Shir” (Speak warrior, forever upright my head)—a line from Nazrul’s poetry, symbolising unbowed pride. “You gave us this mantra: our heads will never bow. We will walk with heads held high before the world and bow to no one.”

Yunus also noted Hadi’s desire to contest elections, saying he had taught a “process” for democratic participation that the nation would now adopt.
