Sharif Osman bin Hadi, from Nalchity, Jhalakathi, was one of the most recognizable young faces of the July movement — widely popular among students and youth for his outspoken stance, while also polarising in mainstream politics. His death sparked nationwide debate, grief, and protest.
The government has now approved Tk 1 crore to provide a Dhaka flat for Hadi’s wife and young child, citing responsibility toward the family of a fallen political figure.
Supporters see this as long-overdue care for a family that lost its sole provider. Critics question consistency and precedent. Either way, Hadi’s name and impact remain firmly in public memory.
