Staff Reporter :
In a poignant tribute that resonates deeply across Bangladesh’s political and activist circles, Environment Adviser Syeda Rizwana Hasan has mourned the untimely demise of Sharif Osman Hadi, hailing him as an indomitable warrior of the July uprising and the voice of the ‘Inquilab Mancha’.
The adviser’s condolence message was released on Friday and she acknowledged Hadi’s fearless, unyielding resistance against oddness describing his passing as an irreplaceable loss to the nation. Hadi, who stood at the forefront of the mass revolution that reshaped the country’s destiny, leaves behind a legacy that promises to ignite the spirits of generations to come.
Syeda Rizwana Hasan, serving as adviser to the ministries of Information and Broadcasting; Environment, Forests and Climate Change; and Water Resources, did not hold back in her admiration for Hadi’s role in the historic July movement. “Sharif Osman Hadi was a fearless voice and bold organizer of the July mass uprising,” she declared in her statement, her words carrying the weight of someone who has long championed justice and environmental causes.
She recalled how Hadi’s unwavering stance against injustice, oppression, and suppression served as a beacon for democracy-loving people, transforming abstract ideals into a rallying cry that echoed through the streets and squares of Bangladesh. The adviser delved deeper into Hadi’s character, emphasizing the clarity, firmness, and sense of duty with which he articulated the movement’s demands.
In an era marked by crackdowns and silencing of dissent, Hadi’s ability to present the language of resistance with such precision ensured its place in the annals of history. Hasan highlighted how his speeches and actions cut through the noise, mobilising the masses with a message that was both uncompromising and profoundly relatable. This was no mere participant in the protests; Hadi was a strategist, a communicator whose words galvanised thousands, turning individual grievances into a collective force for change.
Reflecting on his broader impact, Rizwana Hasan underscored Hadi’s pivotal role in awakening the youth and building public opinion on critical issues of rights and justice. As the spokesperson for ‘Inquilab Mancha’, he bridged the gap between the streets and the national discourse, ensuring that the voices of the oppressed were not just heard but amplified. His contributions, she noted, are undeniable-forged in the crucible of real struggles, where every rally, every chant, and every confrontation added to his stature as a symbol of resilience.
In a nation still healing from the wounds of authoritarianism, Hadi’s work in fostering awareness among the younger generation stands as a testament to his foresight and dedication.
“Hadi’s struggling life, ideals, and courage will inspire future generations to stand firm against injustice,” she affirmed, evoking images of students, activists, and ordinary citizens drawing strength from his example. In a time when the July uprising’s heroes are being remembered as architects of a new Bangladesh, not just as a martyr of the moment, but as an eternal motivator.
His life story marked by personal sacrifices, bold confrontations with powerful, unshakeable commitment to equity serves as boldness those who will carry the torch forward.
Concluding her message with spiritual solace and empathy, the adviser prayed for the forgiveness of the departed soul and extended her deepest condolences to Hadi’s grieving family, comrades, and co-members.
