Md. Naim

"Racing Forward with Unstoppable Speed –
The Story of a Fearless Young Man"
Md. Naim was a student of the 11th grade. He dreamed of becoming a lawyer when he grew up. Perhaps he would often lose himself in his imagination, thinking, "If only I could express all my consciousness through words."
Martyr Naim was the youngest and most beloved child of his parents. He was born on January 13, 2007. His ancestral home was in Ranapasha village, Nalchity Upazila in Jhalokathi District, but he was born in Dhaka and raised in Narayanganj.
His father, Mr. Kamrul Islam, had great hopes for his two sons. That is why; after retiring from his job, he returned to Dhaka. He worked as a Quality Manager in a garment factory in Narayanganj, a job that provided no special benefits apart from a monthly salary. Due to this, after retirement, he returned to Dhaka with almost empty hands.
Later, with his children, he moved into a rented house in Kutubkhali, Jatrabari.
During his working years, he had managed to save only a small amount of money. He was determined to educate his children at any cost, even if it meant taking loans. However, two months after moving to Dhaka, he could not afford to rent a shop due to financial constraints. The savings quickly dwindled, as all the money was spent on house rent and daily household expenses.
Naim’s elder brother had to discontinue his higher education due to financial difficulties after passing his HSC exams. Currently, he has enrolled in a Graphics Design course at a private institution, but the full course fees have not been paid yet.
Meanwhile, the martyr’s mother has been suffering from a long-term illness. Doctors have prescribed several medical tests, but due to financial difficulties, she has not been able to undergo them yet.
"Only the father who carries his child's corpse on his shoulders understands the pain of loss."
A Family Immersed in Grief
The next day, Saturday, July 20, 2024, the Hasina government imposed a curfew across the country. Forced to search for his son, Mr. Kamrul Islam went out again in disguise, wearing a lungi. He searched everywhere. Finally, he found his beloved son's body in the morgue. He immediately became fainted. Later, after completing the process of handing over the martyr's body, it reached his village home, Ranapasha, Nalsiti of Jhalakathi district at around 11 pm. Then, on Sunday, July 21, after the funeral at the local mosque premises, Shaheed Md. Naeem was buried in their family graveyard.
The family has gone nearly insane since losing him. His family, including his parents, is in utter disarray. The city where Naeem's father came to construct his dreams is still there, but the young man who was full of dreams is no longer there. The person who used to make everyone laugh. Today, Mr. Kamrul Islam is like a walking corpse after losing his dearest kid.
Neighbor's Feelings
Md. Rakib says, "Sometimes I noticed a boy going to college with his head down. He greeted many people on the street. He asked the younger ones how they were. He used to go to and from the mosque. Such a polite boy had not been seen in our neighborhood before. The more I saw him, the more impressed I became. I didn't talk to him much except for the greetings. I came to know the boy's name was Naeem after his death. His greetings still echo in my ears."
Killer Hasina says -
"In this country, even if you beat and kill dogs, cats, and wild animals, you will have to face the law."
Perhaps she thought in her mind that killing people is just a child's play. This man-eating, bloodthirsty autocrat Sheikh Hasina will surely be brought to justice. And the citizens of this independent country who desire freedom will ensure this justice.
