Md. Ramjan Ali

Shaheed Md. Ramjan Ali was born in Hajipur village, Singra thana, Natore district. He is the fifth among the six children of his father, Md.Nazrul Islam, and mother, Mst. Ojupha Begum. After completing his HSC, he went to Gazipur to support his family. He started working at Neet Asia Garments in Shafipur, Gazipur. He was married to Mukta Khanam in 2011. They have a daughter. In 2017, Ramjan Ali went to Saudi Arabia in search of work. After working there for two years, he returned to the country. After returning to the village, he drove an auto-rickshaw for a year. But poverty seemed to be following him. So, he left home for Dhaka to change his fortune. He started working at a fish market in Ashulia's Baipail. There he worked from 3:00 AM to 10:00 AM. At the same time, he also started working at the canteen of Savar Cantonment during the day. Meanwhile, his wife, Mukta Khatun, also came to her husband in Baipail, Ashulia. After her husband's Martyrdom in the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement, she is working in a garment factory to earn a living. Her only daughter, Asma Khatun, deprived of her parents' love, is living with her grandmother in Madaripur.
Detailed Description of the Movement Period
The "Quota Not Merit" rights movement of university students in July 2024 created history in Bangladesh. The arrogant behavior of the autocratic Hasina government changed the outline of the movement and turned it into a one-point demand. The only demand was the fall of the autocrat Hasina. People from all walks of life, from the working class to the general public, took part in this movement. In mid-July, the movement took a violent turn. Md. Ramjan Ali also participated in this movement. He was active in the movement in the Baipail area of Ashulia police station. On August 5, when the whole country was in turmoil due to the fall of the autocratic government, the police attacked the unarmed students and the public.
They indiscriminately opened fire on the protesters. At this time, a police bullet entered his chest from the left side and exited from the back. He immediately fell to the ground. The students and the public present there took him to Enam Medical College Hospital. But he passed away on the way before reaching the hospital. Later, after being taken to the hospital, the on-duty doctor declared him dead. On that day, at 10:00 PM, his body reached his village home. The Funeral Prayer (Janazah) was completed the next day, August 6, 2024, at 10:30 AM. Shaheed Md. Ramjan Ali was laid to rest forever in the Sail Larua Joint Graveyard of Singra thana in Natore.
A shadow of mourning descended on the family after the death of Shaheed Md. Ramjan Ali. The elderly parents are almost mad with grief after losing their child. There are no words of consolation for Mukta, who lost her husband, or for Asma Khatun, who became an orphan at a young age. Father Mo: Nazrul Islam says, "My child was earning a living with great difficulty and running his own family. Besides, he would help us when we needed it. He respected us very much. He was very loving and affectionate. When he came home on vacation and went back to Dhaka, he would kiss my and his mother's heads."
Mother Mst. Ojufa Begum says, "Out of my three children, he loved us the most. He would always call and inquire about our well-being. Even this Eid al-Adha, he bought and sent clothes for all of us. Later I said, 'Son, you come home; then I will be happy.' This was my last meeting with him. Then my son came home, but he came as a corpse. Thinking about the family, my son went to Dhaka today, then I lost my son. Otherwise, my son would have stayed with me. I am a mother; I will never get my son back."
Family condition
The Martyr's father, Mo: Nazrul Islam, is running his family by farming in his old age. Mother Ojufa Begum is a housewife. Among their six children, Md. Ramjan Ali helped his parents and younger brother's wife and her two children with their livelihood. Currently, martyr’s father Ramjan Ali is the only earning member of the family.

On the other hand, his wife is working in a garment factory in Dhaka. The only daughter, Asma Khatun, lives with her grandmother.
