Asib's Journey to Martyrdom
The public and student struggle against prejudice is still running strong as of July 2024. On July 19, their program was shut down completely. Asib Mia works in the apparel industry. His student life is ingrained in him. However, he was motivated by the spirit of the studentship. He arrived in the streets. He joined the people and students in opposing Sheikh Hasina's autocratic rule. Asib stood next to the Mirpur-10 Fire Department office. Up until eleven in the morning, everything was calm. The scene became more heated gradually. Just about eleven o'clock, the police started acting hostilely. They used tear gas indiscriminately against innocent and peaceful protesters. The cops opened fire on the autocrat's orders. The police were joined by the Awami Jubo League.
To remove the students and the public from the main road of Mirpur, the police and Jubo League goons fired tear gas and bullets throughout the day. At 5:30 pm in the afternoon, Asib Mia was injured by the bullets, fired by the police and Jubo League. The bullet hit the right side of Asib's head. In a seriously injured condition, the students quickly admitted him to Alok Hospital. Asib called his father and said, "Dad, I have had an accident." His father quickly went to the hospital. From Alok Hospital, he took him to Suhrawardy Hospital by rickshaw. From Suhrawardy Hospital, they took him to the Neuro Science Hospital with a bandage on his head. The doctors at the Neuro Science Hospital advised advanced treatment for him. But no effort or treatment worked. Asib Mia finally embraced martyrdom. At around 9:30 pm, he passed away at the Neuro Science Hospital. He left behind his parents, 3 sisters and a younger brother. On July 19th, he left behind a blood-soaked Bangladesh. The next day, July 20th, after the funeral, he was laid to rest forever. He is lying in his own district of Sherpur. The martyr's grave is in his own village of Kerenga Para, Phulpur.
