By Redowan Ibne Saiful<\/a><\/em><\/strong> Radical Islamist Osman Hadi\u2019s killer (as stated by Zulkarnain Saer Khan Sami and former Dhaka University Shibir leader Qadr Uddin) is Faisal. Who is Faisal? How did Faisal become close to Hadi? The answer to this question was given earlier by Zulkarnain Saer: Faisal got connected with Hadi through a Jamaat leader, who is a doctor. A few days ago, Sami mentioned this in a Facebook post, although that post can no longer be found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, let\u2019s come back to the question: Who is Faisal? After August 5, Faisal established extensive dominance in the Mohammadpur area, including footpaths and it was under his control. He has been arrested several times for extortion. His relationship with Hadi goes back more than a year. Media claims that Faisal became associated with Hadi only 30 days before the murder are completely false. Faisal had been Hadi\u2019s cashier for over a year; he handled many of Hadi\u2019s financial matters.<\/p>\n\n\n

The office of \u2018Inqilab Manch\u2019 was funded by Jamaat money. In addition, Jamaat leaders used to give Hadi money. Recently, a video<\/a> went viral showing a Jamaat leader giving money to Hadi. The Jamaat leader is also a donor to NCP\u2019s Hasnat. A few days after Hadi\u2019s murder, Hasnat traveled to Feni in his car. Moreover, arrangements for Faisal\u2019s bail twice were made under the leadership of Jamaat MP-candidate lawyer Shishir Monir. Even after Faisal was arrested on serious charges, his bail was mysteriously secured very quickly. It is also rumored that Hadi assisted in Faisal’s rapid bail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hadi was a Jamaat project. There was massive Jamaat investment behind Hadi\u2019s Inqilab Manch. However, over the past few months, Hadi\u2019s distance from Jamaat increased because Hadi was no longer serving Jamaat\u2019s purpose and had become overly ambitious about his own politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Almost everyone around Hadi is connected to Shibir or Jamaat. On top of that, Hadi announced his candidacy in the Dhaka-8 constituency without consulting Jamaat. Naturally, Jamaat became quite angry with Hadi. In other words, a cold war was underway between Hadi and Jamaat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, just as Jamaat was involved in Hadi\u2019s rise, Jamaat also nurtured Hadi\u2019s killer. Isn\u2019t that interesting? Even more interesting is that the video of Hadi\u2019s murder was shot from a very clear angle and is of fairly high quality, though the killer\u2019s face is not clearly visible. Let\u2019s assume the killer is Faisal. Immediately after Hadi was killed, Shibir leader Sadik Qayem pointed fingers at the BNP, and another DUCSU leader verbally abused Mirza Abbas in Dhaka Medical College Hospital. At the same time, Shibir\u2019s online troll networks began vilifying the BNP for its involvement in Hadi\u2019s killings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given Mirza Abbas\u2019s popularity and local standing, Hadi could not compete with him at all. Mirza Abbas had no reason whatsoever to kill Hadi. Yet for the past two months, rumors circulated that Abu Shadik Kayem might be given the Dhaka-2 nomination by Jamaat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within moments of Hadi being shot, The Dissent; a Jamaat-funded portal\u2014along with its journalist, former DU Shibir leader Qadr Uddin (who currently behaves as pro-BNP), and Sami began propaganda<\/a> portraying Faisal as an Awami League leader<\/a>, in order to save the BNP. Saer and Qadr Uddin both support the BNP and are effectively running PR campaigns for it. After that, BNP and Jamaat together began a policy of \u201cAwami elimination,\u201d spreading propaganda blaming the Awami League for Hadi\u2019s murder. How the Awami League even entered this picture is still unclear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Jamaat leader introduced the killer to Hadi; a Jamaat leader (Shishir Monir) arranged the killer\u2019s bail twice. So you do the calculation: who killed Hadi?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As soon as news of Hadi\u2019s death spread, Jamaat\u2013Shibir-affiliated and extremist religious groups began attacking Prothom Alo, The Daily Star, Udichi, and Chhayanaut, following calls by Jamaat\u2013Shibir affiliates Ilyas and Pinaki. Incitement to violence was issued continuously, with Shibir leaders playing the biggest role. The Indian High Commission was also attacked. Meanwhile, Jamaat-favored NCP leaders Nasiruddin Patwary and Sarjis Alam kept inciting <\/a>unrest on Facebook, calling for revolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if you don\u2019t understand how these entities are connected to Hadi\u2019s murder, the connection should be clear from these events. In other words, Jamaat and NCP planned to destabilize the country and launch a new \u201crevolution\u201d using news of Hadi\u2019s murder. The BNP sensed this politics, and that very night Tarique Rahman hurriedly announced his return to Bangladesh, though Mirza Fakhrul had already said Tarique was coming. Tarique Rahman\u2019s return became a headache for Jamaat and NCP, overturning their political calculations. Maximum efforts were made by Jamaat\u2013NCP to stop Tarique\u2019s return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notice that immediately after Hadi\u2019s murder, demands were raised for home advisor Jahangir\u2019s resignation, but the Yunus administration did not accept that demand. Instead, it removed Jamaat-linked Khoda Box from his position in the secretariat. This suggests the Yunus administration found some Jamaat involvement in Hadi\u2019s murder; otherwise, they wouldn\u2019t remove a Jamaat person. Meanwhile, Hadi\u2019s brother blamed<\/a> the interim government, and NCP leader Akhtar blamed the Yunus government for Hadi\u2019s murder. Why did they suddenly blame the interim government?  It suggests Yunus is no longer listening to Jamaat and NCP. For his own safe exit, Yunus has aligned himself with Tarique Rahman. Additionally, incidents like the burning to death of Dipu Das and attacks on media and cultural centers have badly damaged Yunus\u2019s international image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, on the night before Tarique Rahman\u2019s return, NCP and Jamaat announced an alliance. Strange, isn\u2019t it? They also strongly objected to Tarique Rahman\u2019s extra security, but Yunus provided him with royal-level security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seeing the entire media and security apparatus focused on welcoming Tarique Rahman, Jamaat and NCP realized they were becoming politically irrelevant. As a result, yesterday they blocked Shahbagh demanding justice for Hadi\u2014clearly to sabotage Tarique Rahman\u2019s politics. They could have staged this sit-in before Tarique\u2019s return, but they didn\u2019t. Why now? Because Yunus is no longer acting according to their wishes. Currently, the media and almost every state organ is under BNP influence. Jamaat and NCP have no issue left to put Yunus on the back foot; now Hadi\u2019s corpse is their only leverage.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

So, the question is: Jamaat nurtured Hadi\u2019s killer, Jamaat also nurtured Hadi, and now NCP is doing politics over Hadi\u2019s dead body. Using Hadi\u2019s death, anti-Jamaat media and cultural centers were destroyed; multiple Shibir leaders were seen in attacks, yet no one was arrested. There was even a plan to destabilize the country using Hadi\u2019s funeral, but it failed after being exposed. Suddenly, Yunus began arresting militants. In other words, Jamaat has run out of cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, what proof is there that the person seen in the murder video is actually Faisal? What proof is there that the photos shown after the shooting are of Faisal? Who knows if the real killer was allowed to escape beforehand? Could this be another Jamaat false-flag operation? What if someone else was under the helmet? Is Faisal being sacrificed like Joj Mia <\/a>in 2004? If the killer is someone else, has that person been safely smuggled out or protected? Saer claims<\/a> Faisal fled through the Mymensingh border, while the government says the Sylhet border. Whose account should we believe? Could Pakistani\/Turkish agencies be involved? Is this another George Mia-style cover-up to shield the real killer? Many such questions are swirling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who benefits politically from Hadi\u2019s murder? Jamaat, surely. Is there any political gain here for the BNP or the Awami League? Seeing the politics over Hadi\u2019s body reminds me of the plot of the Kolkata Bengali film Kanamachi<\/em>. Now the question is, aren\u2019t those who are the killers also the ones who don\u2019t truly want justice for Hadi? Who is sitting at Shahbagh? They are Jamaat\u2013Shibir and their B-team, NCP. What is their objective, delaying elections or seeking justice? Notice that the Jamaat\u2013NCP alliance was announced when it became clear that elections could no longer be stopped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find the answers. Will Hadi\u2019s murder incident ever come out in public?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
