Martyr's Birth and Introduction
Shaheed Obaidul Islam was born on March 21, 1971 in Meghna police station of Chalibhanga Union in Comilla district. Obaidul Islam's father's name was Omar Ali (deceased) and mother's name is Abeda Khatun (72). Shaheed Obaidul Islam was born in the year of the great liberation war in '71. 53 years later, in the year of the second independence, Shaheed Obaidul Islam had to leave the world.
Family life
Obaidul's childhood was spent in his birthplace of Comilla. Due to poverty, he could not get much education. After receiving primary education in Comilla, his studies stopped due to lack of money. Education becomes secondary issue to those families which struggles to manage their daily foods. This is what happened to Obaidul. He started working at his early age to earn a living. He ran his family by doing various jobs. Later he came to the capital in hopes of a better life. After coming to the capital, he used to drive a rented CNG. This was his profession until his death. The CNG income supported a family of four, including his wife, son, and daughter. He lived in a rented house in the Gobind area of Jatrabari with his wife and children.
The death of the family's banyan tree and the darkness that descended on a family
Shaheed Obaidul Islam is the father of two children. Son Mazharul Islam Mazhar (25) and daughter Mosammat Maya Khatun (19). Daughter Maya is married. And Shaheed Obaidul did not let his beloved son Mazhar understand the difficulties of life until his martyrdom. He single-handedly carried the burden of the family. Life was going on somehow. But as the father is no more now, so the whole family is on Mazhar's shoulders. Mazhar, who did not have to worry about livelihood for his father until now, has now taken a job as an employee in a shoe store with a monthly salary of 6000 Taka. Shaheed Obaidul's wife Morium (54) is old and physically ill now., she is now ill. She is now spending her days with the grief of losing her husband.
Respect for the martyr
Obaidul, who was born in the year of independence, had to sacrifice his life in the twenty-fourth war of independence to end the fascist state system of the autocratic Hasina. Birth in the year of independence and death in the year of second independence. Alas life! How many such martyrs have brought us the independence of '24. Indeed.
If I have to sacrifice my life for this country Still, I will not let it be defiled My country's honor.
'Those who sacrificed their lives to bring a new dawn. They built the honor of an independent country with their blood' their sacrifice is only for us. On the one hand, the joy of the autocratic Hasina, on the other hand, the formation of the demonic state of her pets. Seeing these, Shaheed Obaidul Islam feels disgusted with hatred. The intense anger of killing the wicked awakens in the mind.
Meanwhile, the movement on all sides seems to turn into war. The martyr Obaidul, who died in '24, began to dream of a new dawn. He left the CNG in the garage and joined the movement. In the words of the poet 'Forgetting hundreds of pains, you walk towards martyrdom, taking the flower of your love in your heart. That is the luminous path of flowers, the sacred garden of victory!' To color that martyrdom with light, CNG driver Shaheed Obaidul Islam joined the movement.
'In the flood of blood, injustice will be washed away'
August 5, 2024
August 5, 2024. Simultaneously very uncertain, terrible and a day of victory. Road March to Dhaka program. Breathtaking wait for the people of the whole of Bengal. Waiting for the fall of the killer Hasina. Waiting for a new history. Even though, the aggression of the autocrat has not stopped. One after another bullet is being fired. Bullets are being fired incessantly. Jatrabari, which had been a battlefield throughout the July uprising, was then a war zone. Police, various forces of the Awami League nurtured by the government, piles of blood and corpses were in the field. And like all days,
Obaidul came to drive CNG that day as well for the sake of livelihood. Seeing such a battlefield, he did not leave, he was not afraid, but instead, risking his life, he helped to take the injured bodies of the bullet-ridden warriors to the hospital with his CNG. On August 5, 2024, the police became demons that day. After a while, Shaheed Obaidul came to the attention of the killers. The injured bodies of the people were still on Obaidul's two hands. Just as he was about to lift them onto the CNG, several bullets were fired at him before he could understand anything. Obaidul fell to the ground. Just a while ago, he was chanting slogans in the rally, rescuing countless students and the public.
Some students and the public came forward to rescue him. The students and the public hurriedly took this great hero to Mitford Hospital. But they could not save the fearless martyr. There, at 4 pm, Shaheed Obaidul Islam, freeing Bangladesh from the hands of the autocratic Hasina, fell into the lap of death. Later, the body reached his village home. He was bathed in the tears of relatives. After the funeral, this great hero was buried in the family graveyard in Chalibhanga village of Comilla.
The joy of victory and the pain of loss
On August 5th, we achieved independence for the second time, but Shaheed Obaidul and others could not see this independence. August 5th is both the day of the fall of the fascist Hasina, the day of liberation from long-standing fascist rule, and the day of the pain of losing many. Even before the escape on the 5th, the killer Hasina's terrible aggression was going on. Many unknown people were martyred on the 5th. The joy of victory did not come to those families. Let us never forget this sacrifice of the martyrs.
