Bangladesh announces state mourning on Saturday for Inqilab Moncho spokesperson Sharif Osman Hadi, who died in Singapore after an assassination attempt. Chief Adviser Yunus vows justice and state support for his family.

NCP Convener Nahid Islam, speaking on Victory Day, stressed that July fighters must rely on self-organization for security, not government or police. He framed the upcoming election as a referendum to ensure Bangladesh never returns to its pre-August 5 state.

Chief Adviser Prof. Muhammad Yunus warned the nation on Victory Day of attempts by “defeated fascist forces” to return to power through covert killings and terrorism. He vows to protect democracy and provides an update on Khaleda Zia’s medical care.
