The public voice
Sharif Osman Hadi spoke in public often: at rallies in Shahbagh, at press conferences, on television talk shows and in posts and videos on his verified Facebook page. [1, 2, 3] His statements, as the record below shows, joined political demands to religious language and to the vocabulary of the July uprising. His admirers praised his courage; he was also criticised for the language of some of his slogans. [1]
This page collects the statements of his that the project has been able to trace to a published report, sets each in the occasion on which it was made, and records what is still missing. It does not ask the reader to agree with him. A report of what he said is evidence that he said it, not that what he said was true.
No recording of these statements has yet been archived by the project. Every quotation is given as a newspaper printed it, in Bangla where the report was in Bangla, with an English translation by Justice for Hadi.
Address at the martyrs’ rally, Shahbagh
Of the statements in the record, this is the best documented: two newspapers reported it the same evening, giving the occasion, the place, who was there and his words.
Record details
- Occasion
- Inqilab Moncho’s Shahidi Samabesh, or martyrs’ rally, for the trial of the July, Pilkhana and Shapla killings and a ban on the Awami League [4]
As the platform’s spokesperson he set out four demands, three to the government and one to the political parties: a visible start, within 100 days, to the trial of what the platform called the July genocide, and a ban on the Awami League by executive order, through the courts and finally under the constitution; state recognition of the Shapla killings, and a commission of inquiry with the help of the United Nations to publish a list of the dead and begin a trial; publication of the full report of the commission on the Pilkhana killings and implementation of its recommendations; and a clear clause in every party’s election manifesto on the trial of the Awami League. A party without one, he said, would be boycotted. [4]
He then announced the programme: 100 days of outreach in all 64 districts and, if the government did not act, a march from Shahbagh on 5 August, which the platform called 36 July, to besiege the Secretariat. [4, 5]
Two reports, two wordings
“এ দাবিতে আগামী ১০০ দিন ৬৪ জেলায় গণসংযোগ করবে ইনকিলাব মঞ্চ। যদি এই সময়ের মধ্যে সরকার কার্যকর কোনো ভূমিকা গ্রহণ না করে, তাহলে আগামী ৫ আগস্ট (৩৬ জুলাই) শাহবাগ থেকে “মার্চ ফর বাংলাদেশে” কর্মসূচি থেকে সচিবালয় ঘেরাও করব আমরা। এতে আমরা কাফনের কাপড় পরে অংশগ্রহণ করব।”
On these demands, Inqilab Moncho will carry out public outreach in the 64 districts for the next 100 days. If the government takes no effective step within this time, then on 5 August (36 July) we will besiege the Secretariat from Shahbagh, in the “March for Bangladesh” programme. We will take part in it wearing shrouds.
“দাবি আদায়ে আগামী ১০০ দিন দেশের ৬৪ জেলায় গণসংযোগ চালানো হবে। দাবি পূরণ না হলে আগামী ৩৬ জুলাই (৫ আগস্ট) ‘মার্চ ফর বাংলাদেশ’ কর্মসূচি ঘোষণা করে শাহবাগ থেকে সচিবালয় ঘেরাও করা হবে।”
To win the demands, public outreach will be carried out in the country’s 64 districts for the next 100 days. If the demands are not met, the ‘March for Bangladesh’ programme will be announced for 36 July (5 August), and the Secretariat will be besieged from Shahbagh.
Ajker Patrika and Risingbd agree on what he announced but not on his words, and only Ajker Patrika prints the sentence about shrouds. They also differ on the time: Ajker Patrika says the rally was held at 3 pm, Risingbd that he set out the demands at about 4:45 pm; the two may describe different moments. Until a recording is found, neither wording is treated as exact, and both are printed as published.
The words he used
Words that recur in the statements, as the reports print them, with where each appears. This records how the words were used; it does not define them for him.
- ইনসাফinsaf · justice, fairness
- In Inqilab Moncho’s stated objective, to build a state based on insaf; [6] in his post of 13 November 2025, as the name for his own struggle. [3]
- শহীদshahid · martyr
- In the name of the platform’s Shahidi Samabesh, its martyrs’ rally of April 2025; [4] in November 2025, for the 1,400 dead of July whose blood he wrote of as a debt, and for the death he asked for. [3]
- জুলাই যোদ্ধাJuly joddha · July warriors: those who took part in the uprising
- In the platform’s demands for their protection in December 2024 and against their harassment in January 2025. [7, 8]
- গণহত্যাgonohotta · genocide, mass killing
- His word, and his platform’s, for the killings of July 2024 and for those at Shapla and Pilkhana, in statements of March, April and May 2025. [9, 4, 2] The word is his; whether any of these killings meets a legal definition of genocide is not decided on this page.
- ৩৬ জুলাইchhotrish July · “36 July”: 5 August
- The date he gave for the March for Bangladesh, printed beside 5 August in both reports of the April 2025 rally, [4, 5] and for the July declaration he demanded in May 2025. [2]
- আধিপত্যবাদadhipottobad · hegemony, domination
- In the platform’s objective, which set it against all forms of hegemony; [6] in its announcement of his death, in English, “the struggle against Indian hegemony”. [10]
Insaf
The word his platform chose for justice, and the one he used for his own struggle.
Inqilab Moncho set its objective as standing against all forms of hegemony to protect independence and sovereignty, and building a state based on insaf, justice. [6] Prothom Alo’s English edition and bdnews24.com rendered the phrase as “a state based on justice”. [1, 11]
In his post of 13 November 2025 he used the word of himself: whatever was done to him, he wrote, he would not move from this struggle for insaf. [3] Prothom Alo’s Bangla report of the post keeps the word; its English edition and bdnews24.com translated it as the “fight for justice” and the “struggle for justice”. [6, 1, 12]
The statements held do not record him defining the word. Read from where it appears, and only as an interpretation, it joins two things he spoke of throughout: trials for the killings of July 2024, and his refusal to give up the demand for them.
This reading rests on two uses of the word. A fuller account needs his speeches themselves, which the project has not yet archived. A sentence about doing insaf even with an enemy is attributed to him on social media; its source has not been found, and it is not used.
July, accountability and memory
Trials for the killings of July 2024 are the demand that runs through every statement in the record.
At a hunger strike in December 2024 he said the protesters would not leave the road until an adviser came to take their written demands and said when the government would decide. [7] In March 2025 he asked for a speedy trial of the July, Shapla and Pilkhana killings and a ban on the Awami League for genocide. [9] In April he gave the government 100 days to make a visible start to the trial; [4] in May, when the party’s activities were banned, he told it not to think the platform would forget its other demands. [2]
He set July beside earlier killings. In the same statements he named those at Shapla Chattar and at Pilkhana and asked for them to be tried alongside July. [4, 2] He spoke of the dead as a debt still owed: in November 2025 he wrote of repaying the blood of 1,400 martyrs. [3]
Memory was part of the demand. The platform named its April 2025 rally for the martyrs, and dated its programmes by the uprising’s own calendar, in which 5 August is 36 July. [4, 2] When the International Crimes Tribunal sentenced Sheikh Hasina, he said: “This verdict has set a precedent for the entire world.” [11, 13]
Figures and words in these statements, such as the 1,400 dead and the word genocide, are his. The page reports them as his and does not establish them; the July record belongs to the July archive and the courts.
Sovereignty, and India
The views below are given as his and his platform’s. The page does not assess Bangladesh’s relations with India.
In the record held, sovereignty is first a word of the platform’s objective, beside independence and against all forms of hegemony. [6] It is also the stated ground of a specific demand: in January 2025, setting out from Shahbagh to besiege Police Headquarters, Inqilab Moncho demanded that, in the interest of the country’s sovereignty, police accused over what it called the July genocide should no longer be transferred to the Chittagong Hill Tracts. [8]
Reports describe his politics as directed against India. Prothom Alo wrote that he built up a base of supporters “through anti-India rhetoric”; [1] Al Jazeera called him “an outspoken critic of India”. [10] Those are their descriptions. After his death the platform wrote that he had been accepted as a martyr “in the struggle against Indian hegemony”. [10]
The project has not yet traced, to a report it could read in full, a speech or post in which he set out his views on India in his own words. Sentences about India attributed to him circulate in a reference compilation and on social media, linked to clips posted by accounts whose origin is not known. They are not quoted here until an original is found.
What his platform did: Sovereignty and India in Political Journey
Parties and the government
How he addressed those in power and those seeking it, as the reports quote him.
He spoke to the interim government directly, in the second person, and in questions. At a press conference in May 2025 he asked why a second tribunal spoken of in January was promised only in May, once people had taken to the streets, and which adviser had removed the tribunal’s power to try a party from the law. [2] He asked why the notification banning the Awami League did not name the Jatiya Party or the party’s partners in the 14-party alliance. [2]
To the BNP he gave a warning, at the University of Dhaka in July 2025: if it returned to power but pursued “politics in the old style”, it would “not last even two years”. The English words are bdnews24.com’s. [11]
The statements held do not record him calling for any party to be elected, and he stood as an independent. [14] Prothom Alo reported that he had not been seen to be affiliated with any political party. [1]
Faith, sacrifice and martyrdom
Religious language was part of his public voice. The page records it as public speech and does not describe his private belief.
His announcement of candidacy ended with inshallah, God willing. [14] His post of 13 November 2025 called Bangladesh this land of tawhid, the oneness of God; asked Allah for more courage and strength; committed his family and comrades to Allah’s keeping; and ended with Hasbiyallah, Allah is sufficient for me. [3]
The language of sacrifice ran beside it. Inqilab Moncho called its April 2025 rally a martyrs’ rally, and Hadi said, according to Ajker Patrika, that its members would join the next march wearing shrouds. [4] In November, in the post about the threats he said he had received, he wrote that he asked for a martyr’s death, with a smile. [3]
These were statements of commitment, made in public and in the idiom of the movement he belonged to. The page records them as what he said. It does not read them as prediction, and the record does not show what he privately believed.
How he spoke, and how it was heard
The statements held share some habits. He addressed those in power directly and set them deadlines: a week in December 2024, 100 days in April 2025. [7, 4] He dated events by the uprising’s calendar, and named opponents in hard words: killers, for the Awami League supporters he blamed for the threats against him. [4, 3] This is a description of the statements in the record, not of all his speech.
After leaders of the National Citizen Party were attacked in Gopalganj in July 2025, he reacted in strong language that included obscene words, Prothom Alo reported, and they spread widely on social media. [1] bdnews24.com reported that he later described that tirade as a “great epic of liberation”, while apologising to those who had been hurt by his words. [11] The words themselves are not reproduced here.
How it was heard
bdnews24.com wrote of his “fiery rhetoric”. [11] Prothom Alo reported that his admirers praised his courage, that Awami League supporters saw him as a thorn in their side, and that he drew criticism for crossing the bounds of decency in some of his slogans. [1] Indian outlets called him an “anti-India student leader” and a “radical leader”. [15, 13] Each description is the outlet’s; the page adopts none of them.
: A post on the threats he said he had received
This section describes a post about threats of killing and sexual violence.
Late on the night of Thursday 13 November 2025 Hadi wrote on his verified Facebook page that in the previous three hours he had received calls and texts from at least 30 foreign numbers. [3] In bdnews24.com’s translation, he blamed “Awami League’s killers” and summarised the messages: he was under constant surveillance, and they would set fire to his house, rape his mother, sister and wife, and kill him. [12] Who sent them is not established; the attribution is his.
The rest of the post is about what he would do. It looks ahead to the verdict in Sheikh Hasina’s trial, which he said would come on the 17th, and is written in the language of insaf, faith and martyrdom traced in the chapters above. Ittefaq printed the post in five quoted passages; the three that follow the description of the threats are given here as printed. [3]
“১৭ তারিখ খুনি হাসিনার রায় হবে। ১৪০০ শহীদের রক্তের ঋণ মেটাতে কেবল আমার বাড়ি-ঘর না, যদি আমাকেও জ্বালিয়ে দেওয়া হয়, ইনসাফের এই লড়াই হতে আমি এক চুলও নড়বো না, ইনশাআল্লাহ।”
On the 17th the verdict on killer Hasina will come. To repay the debt of the blood of 1,400 martyrs, even if not only my house but I myself am burned, I will not move a hair’s breadth from this struggle for insaf, God willing.
“এক আবরারকে হত্যার মধ্য দিয়ে হাজারও আবরার জন্মেছে এদেশে। এক হাদিকে হত্যা করা হলে তাওহীদের এই জমিনে আল্লাহ লক্ষ হাদি তৈরি করে দিবেন। স্বাধীনতার এই ক্রুদ্ধ স্বরকে কোনোদিন রুদ্ধ করা যাবে না। লড়াইয়ের ময়দানে আমি আমার আল্লাহর কাছে আরও সাহস ও শক্তি চাই। আরশ ওয়ালার কাছে আমি হাসিমুখে শহীদি মৃত্যু চাই।”
Through the killing of one Abrar, thousands of Abrars were born in this country. If one Hadi is killed, Allah will make a hundred thousand Hadis on this land of tawhid. This angry voice of freedom can never be silenced. On the field of struggle I ask my Allah for more courage and strength. Of the Lord of the Throne I ask a martyr’s death, with a smile.
“আমার পরিবার ও আমার কলিজার সহযোদ্ধাদেরকে আল্লাহ তায়ালার কুদরতি কদমে সোপর্দ করলাম। শেষ নিঃশ্বাস পর্যন্ত আমাদের লড়াই চলবে। হাসবিয়াল্লাহ।”
I have committed my family and my dearest comrades to the mighty feet of Allah the Exalted. Our struggle will go on until our last breath. Hasbiyallah: Allah is sufficient for me.

The original post has not been archived by the project, so the Bangla above is the text Ittefaq printed, not the post itself. Ittefaq dates it to the night after Thursday 13 November; the Daily Inqilab, writing on 15 November, to the previous morning. The translations are the project’s. Tawhid is the oneness of God; “the Lord of the Throne” renders আরশ ওয়ালা; Abrar is Abrar Fahad, as bdnews24.com’s translation specifies.
The statement record
10 statements, in date order. Open markers show statements dated only to a month, or not dated at all.
Address at a hunger strike, Kakrail
Prothom Alo, which named him as Inqilab Moncho’s convener, reported that he spoke beside the road after police stopped the march, and again when the protesters sat down on the road for a hunger strike of about three and a half hours. Their memorandum was handed to one of the Chief Adviser’s private secretaries. He announced that if the demands were not met within a week, the platform would besiege the Secretariat on 29 December. [7]
“যতক্ষণ পর্যন্ত সরকারের তরফ থেকে আইন বা স্বরাষ্ট্র উপদেষ্টা অথবা ছাত্র উপদেষ্টাদের একজন এসে আমাদের লিখিত দাবি শিক্ষার্থীদের কাছ থেকে গ্রহণ করবেন এবং এই সিদ্ধান্ত কত দিনের মধ্যে হবে, তা যতক্ষণ না জানাবেন, ততক্ষণ পর্যন্ত ছাত্র-জনতা এখানে অনশন করবে।”
Until the law or home adviser, or one of the student advisers, comes on the government’s behalf to receive our written demands from the students, and until they tell us within how many days this decision will be made, the students and the people will keep up the hunger strike here.

Statement at the end of a sit-in, Shahbagh
At the close of a gathering the platform called Protibadi July Jomayet, after police stopped a march towards the Shaheed Minar, he said the platform had held a sit-in at Shahbagh for four days on five demands and was suspending it. For a month it would collect signatures on two demands, a speedy trial of the July, Shapla and Pilkhana killings and a ban on the Awami League for genocide, and on 25 April it would hold a martyrs’ rally at Shahbagh.

Facebook post announcing his candidacy for Dhaka-8
On the night of 30 April he announced in a Facebook post that he would stand for Dhaka-8 at the next general election as an independent candidate. [14]
“ঢাকা- ৮ (শাহবাগ), স্বতন্ত্র প্রার্থী, ইনশাআল্লাহ...”
Dhaka-8 (Shahbagh), independent candidate, God willing…
— Sharif Osman Hadi, Facebook post announcing his candidacy, as reported by Samakal · 30 April 2025 [14] Press conference at Madhur Canteen, University of Dhaka
After the Awami League’s organisational activities were banned, he put three proposals to the interim government: two tribunals, one to try individuals and one to try the party; a repentance (tawba) commission for Awami League supporters who had committed no crime; and a July declaration by 5 August. He also called for 50,000 new police to be recruited within a week. [2]
“এটা তো তাদের দায়িত্ব নেওয়ার পরপরই করার কথা ছিল।”
This should have been done right after they took office.
— Sharif Osman Hadi, on the ban on the Awami League’s activities, at a press conference at the University of Dhaka, as reported by Prothom Alo · 11 May 2025 [2] “আপনারা মনে কইরেন না আওয়ামী লীগের কার্যক্রম নিষিদ্ধ করায় আমরা আমাদের অন্যান্য দাবি ভুলে যাব। আপনাদের অতি দ্রুত গণহত্যার বিচার শুরু করতে হবে।”
Don’t think that because the Awami League’s activities have been banned we will forget our other demands. You must begin the trial for the genocide very quickly.
— Sharif Osman Hadi, addressing the interim government at a press conference, as reported by Prothom Alo · 11 May 2025 [2] “আন্তর্জাতিক অপরাধ ট্রাইব্যুনালের একটা ধারা ছিল, এই ট্রাইব্যুনাল যেকোনো দলেরও বিচার করতে পারবে। কিন্তু গতকাল বলা হলো এটা আগে আইনে ছিল না, আইন সংশোধন করে নতুন করে তা যুক্ত করা হলো। কিন্তু এটা তো পূর্বের আইনে ছিল। তাহলে আমাদের প্রশ্ন হলো কোন উপদেষ্টা এই আইন বাদ দিয়েছেন?”
The International Crimes Tribunal had a provision that it could also try any party. But yesterday it was said that this was not in the law before, and that it had been added anew by amending the law. But it was in the earlier law. So our question is: which adviser removed it?
— Sharif Osman Hadi, at the same press conference, as reported by Prothom Alo · 11 May 2025 [2] “এই প্রজ্ঞাপনে (লীগ নিষিদ্ধের প্রজ্ঞাপন) জাতীয় পার্টির নাম নাই কেন? তারা কি দুধে ধোয়া? তারা কি বিনা ভোটে এমপি হন নাই? আওয়ামী লীগের শরিক ১৪–দলীয় জোটের নাম নাই কেন?”
Why is the Jatiya Party not named in this notification (the notification banning the League)? Are they washed in milk? Did they not become MPs without a vote? Why is the Awami League’s partner, the 14-party alliance, not named?
— Sharif Osman Hadi, questioning the interim government at the same press conference, as reported by Prothom Alo; the words in brackets are the newspaper’s, and “washed in milk” is a Bangla idiom for blameless · 11 May 2025 [2] Speech at the University of Dhaka on the BNP

Response to the attack on NCP leaders in Gopalganj
After leaders of the National Citizen Party were attacked in Gopalganj on 16 July, he reacted in strong language that included obscene words, which spread widely on social media.

Recordings and transcripts
Recordings of his words exist. He published posts, photographs and videos on his verified Facebook page, among them videos of his campaign, and he appeared on television talk shows. [3, 1]
The archive now catalogues a recording published by Global Voice 24 in which Hadi speaks about teachers’ pay; it is separate from the quotations below. The project holds no local video or audio file and no verified transcript. The statements quoted on this page remain sourced to the reports that printed them. [17]
Each catalogued recording carries its source, publisher, date at the precision known and rights. Any future transcript will say what it is: official, a researcher’s transcription checked against the recording, or machine captions, which are never treated as authoritative. Bangla transcripts will stay in Bangla, with a translation beside them.
Sources and notes
This record was compiled by Justice for Hadi from news reports and profiles, most of them in Bangla and several published on the day of the statement they report. The Bangla reports were read in Bangla. Each numbered citation points to the publication that prints the words or describes the occasion.
The sources are of the kind the project’s research standard treats as independent reporting: good evidence that a statement was reported, not an original recording of it. In that standard’s words every statement here is “reported”; none is yet “verified”, and none of these sources has been through the project’s formal verification process.
Last reviewed . To report an error, or to offer an original recording, post or transcript of his words, see corrections; for how the project works, see the research methodology.

Quotations, translations and omissions
- How a quotation was admitted
- A quotation appears on this page only if a news report the project read in full prints it as his words, in quotation marks. Words a report gives without quotation marks are summarised as reported speech. Where two reports print different wordings, both are shown and neither is preferred.
- Bangla and translation
- Bangla quotations are printed exactly as the newspaper printed them, including its spelling, punctuation and any words it added in brackets. The English beneath each is the project’s own unofficial translation, not an official one; the Bangla stays authoritative. Religious expressions are given as he used them, with a short gloss. Quotations given only in English are the reporting outlet’s translation, and their Bangla original is not held.
- “If one Hadi is killed…”
- The line most often repeated after his death is printed above in four published versions. The project’s research compilation gave it as “If one Hadi is killed, countless Hadis will rise”, a shortened form of bdnews24.com’s translation; it is not used as a quotation.
- Older project data
- The project’s earlier quotation file gave this post a date of 1 November 2025 without a source, joined separate sentences of bdnews24.com’s translation into one, and paired them with Bangla text that matches no report the project has found and appears to be a translation back into Bangla. None of it is used. The same file mixed his words with statements made by others after his death and with slogans chanted at his funeral; those belong to the Legacy section.
- Wikiquote and social media
- A Bangla Wikiquote page attributes many further statements to him, among them remarks on India, the BNP, the press, religion and his opponents, some containing obscenities. Most are linked to Facebook shares or short video clips posted by accounts whose origin is not established, or to reports that do not contain the words. None is used. They are kept as research leads until an original recording or a report of the occasion is found.
- Interviews and talk shows
- Prothom Alo reports that he was invited onto television talk shows after the uprising, and lists of his appearances circulate online. No interview recording or transcript has been archived by the project, and none is quoted.
- Democracy and authoritarian rule
- The page has no chapter on democracy or on authoritarian rule. The project’s research compilation says he called Sheikh Hasina’s rule “fascist” and “autocratic”, citing a profile the project could not read in full. Until his own words on these subjects are traced, they are not summarised.
- The Dhaka-8 campaign
- His statements about the campaign itself, such as the donations he reported and the boards he set up for voters, are recorded in Political Journey and not repeated here.
- Dates
- Reports date the November post differently: Ittefaq to the night after Thursday 13 November, the Daily Inqilab to the morning of 14 November. Two statements are dated only to July 2025, and the remark on the tribunal’s verdict is undated in the reports; the record says so rather than assigning a date.
- Media and rights
- No photograph, audio or video is shown. Recordings of his speeches and posts exist on social media, but the project holds no original with a documented source and permission to publish, and it does not embed copies posted by unknown accounts. Quotations from news reports are short excerpts with a link to the report; no article is reproduced.
