Osman Hadi, known as Hadi, was shot in broad daylight in Bangladesh in a targeted killing. Reports say the shooter fled toward India. Since then, Indian media and the fascist Awami League have tried to portray him as a radical Islamist. This is false.
Hadi did not belong to any old establishment or existing political party. He was running as an independent candidate in the upcoming election.
He was a poet, a singer, and a cultural activist. He believed in resistance through art, culture, and political mass awareness, not violence.
He founded the Inqilab Cultural Center, a space for poetry, music, and political expression. It was NOT an armed group. It was a cultural platform.
Hadi spoke openly against Indian interference and domination in Bangladesh, including India’s support for an autocratic Awami regime who ordered violence against students during the July movement. Speaking against oppression does not make someone an extremist.
This is not new. Abrar Fahad was brutally murdered years ago for a Facebook post criticizing Indian aggression over the Teesta River. Today, history is repeating itself.
Osman Hadi was not an extremist or a radical, no matter what Indian media claims. He was the voice and soul of resistance, a true July revolutionary who kept fighting for a Bangladesh free from Indian domination. Silencing him will not erase the truth.
