Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus on Tuesday issued a stern warning, saying that no one involved in the recent attack on Sharif Osman Hadi, a frontline fighter of the July Uprising, will be spared.
“The government is treating the incident with utmost seriousness, and at the preliminary stage, those involved have already been identified. I want to assure the countrymen that no one involved in this conspiracy will be spared, wherever they may be,” he said.
The Chief Adviser made the remarks while addressing the nation on Tuesday evening on the occasion of the Victory Day 2025.
Expressing deep sorrow, he said, “Today, I have come before you with a very heavy heart. On this joyous day, I inform you with deep sorrow that the recent attack on Sharif Osman Hadi is not just an attack on an individual – it is an attack on the existence of Bangladesh, an attack on our democratic path”.
Prof Yunus noted that Hadi remains in critical condition, saying the government has taken all necessary measures to ensure his treatment and security.
“He (Hadi) has already been sent to Singapore for advanced treatment,” he said, urging the countrymen to pray sincerely for his recovery.
Referring to what he described as the attempts of defeated fascist terrorists, the Chief Adviser said, “I want to clearly say that this ill attempt by the defeated fascist and terrorist forces will be completely thwarted”.
“No one can stop the democratic progress of this country by intimidation, terrorism or shedding blood,” he categorically said.
Urging the countrymen to maintain restraint and not to pay attention to propaganda or rumors, Prof Yunus said, “We must confront the fascist terrorists, who want to create unrest, in unison. We should not fall into their trap”.
“The defeated fascist forces will never return to the sacred soil of this country,” Prof Yunus said.
