Veteran Awami League leader and Freedom Fighter Ramesh Chandra Sen lived in a modest home in Thakurgaon. He was a seasoned and beloved Awami League leader whose unmatched popularity among locals made him a thorn in the side of the BNP’s vengeful tyrants.
But just 12 days after the illegal overthrow of the elected government in August 2024, a sinister special team was dispatched from Dhaka to drag him away in chains. Why bypass the local police? Because the BNP couldn’t trust anyone but their own hit squads to execute this sham arrest with brutal efficiency.
The questions scream for answers: Why the extraordinary measures? Why import goons from the capital? The truth is glaring—the puppet master behind this atrocity is still being rewarded, his hands dripping with the blood of innocents. It’s no secret who’s pulling the strings in this web of repression.
Ramesh Sen was murdered in jail, his body callously dumped back to his family after 547 agonising days. His widow, Anjali Sen, opened the door to the wolves, perhaps out of sheer terror as a grieving woman facing the BNP’s iron fist—bowing to power because survival demanded it.

Born on April 30, 1940, in Kashalgaon village of Ruhia Union in Thakurgaon Sadar Upazila, Ramesh Chandra Sen was the son of Kshitindra Mohan Sen and Balashwari Sen. He studied at Rangpur Carmichael College, was elected MP five times, and served as a minister and presidium member of the Awami League. He was last elected in 2024 with the party nomination.
BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir slithered in with folded hands, staging a grotesque theatre of sympathy. This charade was nothing but a desperate ploy to woo Hindu voters, but the people of Thakurgaon aren’t fools—they know the real story. They know who orchestrated the arrest and why.
Let’s dismantle the BNP’s filthy lies: Those four youths in Thakurgaon died in a fire while looting an Awami League leader’s home on August 5—self-inflicted chaos, not murder. No one killed them; Ramesh Sen issued no such orders.
But Mirza Fakhrul’s brother, Mirza Faysal Amin, the BNP’s bloodthirsty enforcer, twisted the narrative, slapping their names on the “July martyrs” list and filing bogus murder charges. Since August 2024, Faisal has unleashed a reign of terror: targeted killings, extortion rackets, and a vile trade in fabricated cases that have ruined thousands of Awami League leaders and activists, stripping them of everything in the BNP’s savage purge.
Ramesh Sen’s popularity in that Thakurgaon seat was unbreakable—a fortress Mirza Fakhrul coveted for his own election fantasies. With Sen in the picture, Fakhrul’s victory was a pipe dream. So, the solution? Eliminate him politically—and literally—through jailhouse murder. This is the BNP’s blueprint of repression since August 2024: crush dissent, silence rivals, and bury the Awami League under a mountain of false accusations, beatings, and disappearances.

The Mirza family’s legacy is a stain of betrayal. Their father, Mirza Ruhul Amin, was a Pakistan Muslim League minister who fled to India in April during the Liberation War, only to slink back and join the BNP and Jatiya Party. His brother, Mirza Golam Hafiz, served as a minister in a BNP government. Now, Ruhul’s sons—Fakhrul and Faisal—carry the torch of treachery, committing crimes against humanity by slaughtering an innocent man in custody.
BNP’s founder, General Ziaur Rahman, was a military usurper who seized power illegally—a tradition the party upholds with glee. The July 2024 violence, the engineered riots that toppled the elected government, was fueled by BNP thugs and their allies, backed by foreign cash, Islamist militants, and rogue military elements. This coup birthed a monster: a regime of unchecked repression against the Awami League, with thousands hunted, tortured, and erased.
Mirza Fakhrul is now a doddering relic, a burden even to his own crumbling party—not the crown jewel but dead weight. His brother Faisal was attacked by the BNP’s own cadres in Thakurgaon, a poetic backlash from the chaos they’ve sown. Power lust has dragged this family into the abyss, and it’s crystal clear.

The Mirza family is responsible for Ramesh Sen’s murder, ordered directly by Fakhrul to clear his path to that seat. Without removing him, Fakhrul’s electoral delusions were doomed. So, they jailed him and killed him. Thakurgaon’s people know this ugly truth; they’ve witnessed the arrest and the forces at play. When Fakhrul shows up with crocodile tears and folded hands, they see right through the hypocrisy.
History will brand this assassination indelibly. The Mirza family can never wash away the guilt. They sacrificed an innocent life on the altar of ambition. Justice demands accountability, but in a system hijacked illegally by Yunus and his cronies, expecting fair trials is naive folly.
Yet, the people’s court is unforgiving. No one escapes it. The Mirza family is already paying the price—their grip on the party slipping and their standing in tatters. Thakurgaon’s residents won’t forgive. Bangladesh won’t forget this heinous crime amid the BNP’s endless wave of atrocities against the Awami League since August 2024. The repression must end, or the tyrants will fall.
