Md. Emdadul Haque

Shaheed Md.Emdadul Haque was born on October 16, 1997, in Dhawa village of Bhandaria police station in Pirojpur district. He was born into a very poor family. His father, Md. Chhoban Hawlader, was a rickshaw puller, and his mother's name is Hasina Begum. Among his three siblings, he was the youngest and most beloved.
He passed HSC from Jiyanagar Degree College in Pirojpur, which is under the National University. Later, Emdadul was working as a driver in a private institution in Dhaka. He was a 27-year-old dreamy young man. Who wanted to work for his family and Islam through hard work. But his dreams remained elusive for him.
Economic Condition of the Martyr
Shaheed Md.Emdadul was working as a driver in a private institution in Badda, Dhaka. Besides, his father earns his livelihood by driving a paddle rickshaw. Mother is a housewife. His parents are staying in Pirojpur.
Their family is living a very helpless life financially due to the death of Emdadul Haque.

Losing that strength, the old parents are helpless today. At present, they are in distress physically, mentally, and financially.
How He Became a Martyr
July 20, 2024. Saturday. The time on the clock is 9:30 am. It was the incident of a time when the anti-discrimination student movement is going on abruptly all over the country. The then government shut down the internet supply across the country to reduce the intensity of the movement. Everyone seems to be in the face of darkness. There is no way to know what is happening with whom and where. Meanwhile, Badda was one of the focal points of the attack by the police force. They were killing people indiscriminately on the orders of the fascist government.
As a dedicated worker of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami, Md. Emdadul Haque was opposing the oppression and torture of the fascist government by joining the protesters in Badda. During the movement, a police bullet hit him right in the forehead. He immediately fell down to the ground, and the streets were flooded with the shaheed's red blood. He died then. May Allah accept him as a shaheed, may He grant him Jannatul Firdaus.
