Md. Abdul Alim

Shaheed Md. Abdul Alim's home is in Kaliyaharipur Char Banbaria village in Sirajganj Sadar. His family consisted of his wife, a son, and a daughter. He worked in a jute mill. After the mill closed, he worked as a day laborer. His income was very meager. Somehow their well-organized, beautiful family was maintained. His elder son is studying in the first year of Intermediate and his younger daughter is in the ninth grade. The Martyr had a lot of dreams about his children. Martyr Abdul Alim thought that they would grow up to be the reason for their parents' smiles. All the sorrows would be gone. One day, maybe his dream will come true, but the Martyr will not be able to see their achievement.
The Martyr was the sole breadwinner of his family. After his Martyrdom, the source of income has stopped. He was a shareholder in the market lease, which will remain valid for the next six months. From there, his family will receive twelve hundred rupees per month. The Martyr does not have any land of his own. There is no other source of income either. As a result, the family is now living a very inhuman life.
How He Became a Martyr
August 4, 2024. The movement for the fall of autocracy is intensifying across the country. The level of anger is increasing in the minds of the people. News of the deaths of students and ordinary people is only around. At such a time, it is impossible for a patriotic person to sit at home. Lakhs of people take to the streets with the promise that even if it is at the cost of their lives, injustice and oppression will end. Martyr Abdul Alim also did not sit still. He participated in the procession organized by the anti-discrimination student movement on August 4, 2024, at approximately eleven o'clock. He protested against injustice by raising his voice.
Terrorists from the Awami League attacked the procession as it approached the Mahbub Shopping Complex on SS Road in Sirajganj. Severe violence erupted. Brickbats were thrown massively. The brick blows caused Martyr Abdul Alim's entire body to ache. He receives a severe blow to the chest. At one point, Awami League terrorists opened firing. Martyr Abdul Alim falls on the road. Many people run over him. Later, some people took him home by rickshaw. His whole body becomes stiff with pain. Seeing this condition of the father, the children broke down in tears. As the night progresses, his pain increases. Two days passed like this. His condition worsend. Later, he was admitted to the ICU of Enayetpur Hospital after visiting several hospitals. The shaheed’s son was repeatedly crying and saying, "Am I going to lose my father?"
Putting an end to the unbearable pain, Abdul Alim finally embraced Martyrdom on the 7th, on the third day of being injured, at 10.20 pm.
The children lose their father. They lose a shadow like a banyan tree. When the father's memories come before their eyes, tears cannot be stopped. The autocrat has snatched their father away.
Regarding the shaheed, his elder brother says, "My brother was a worker. He also liked sports. He was a sociable person. He had a good relationship with everyone in the neighborhood. He used to consult with me on various issues of society and the country. He was a responsible person. We seek everyone's prayers and wish seeking the forgiveness of his soul. May the countrymen pray for him. Everyone will take care of his family.
