"It Pierced the Nation's Conscience": Senior Leader Condemns Assault on Hady
In a highly emotive and politically charged address, prominent political figure Hasnat Abdullah yesterday offered a searing critique of the recent assassination attempt on Hady, stating that the attack was not merely a physical assault but a moral blow to the entire nation.
Speaking on the shooting incident targeting Sharif Osman Hady, Abdullah delivered a dramatic analogy to underscore the gravity of the crime.
"The bullets that the assassins fired at Hady yesterday did not pass through Sharif Osman Hady's head," Abdullah asserted. "Instead, they went through and pierced the conscience of the people of Bangladesh."
The statement frames the violence as an attack on the fundamental moral fabric of the country rather than just an individual.
Abdullah concluded his remarks by invoking a powerful maxim on dignity and survival, emphasizing the profound moral choice facing the nation:
"It is better to live a single moment with honor than to live eighty years in disgrace."
The comments suggest that the attack represents a culmination of systemic dishonor, challenging the public to choose a path of immediate, dignified resistance over a prolonged, ignoble existence. The remarks are expected to further escalate political tensions following the attack.
