3. Taking responsibility for the upbringing and education of the orphaned girlThe July 2024 movement was a movement to create history. A movement to rise up against the tyranny of fascism. A movement to achieve recognition of merit in the face of legitimate demands. The only demand of the young students was merit, not quota. But the oppressive fascist Hasina disregarded the legitimate demands of the youth and made a mockery of the nation. The autocrat Hasina played an active role in keeping herself in power by floating hundreds of thousands of young children and old people in a flood of blood. By misusing the highest laws she has formed, she has trampled on the people. Blinded by the lust for power, Hasina has forgotten that no matter how long the run of power may be, it will one day be destroyed. Almighty Allah has shown through the youth that power is not eternal. Just one quota movement has changed the history of Bangladesh.
The struggle for rights is joined by the anger of the common people against the undemocratic social system. From the quota, in one go, the young society of Bangladesh as well as the civil society also ignited. People took to the field with the firm determination to liberate the country for the second time. "Live as a Ghazi, or die as a Shaheed." Thousands of school, college, and madrasa students, along with working people, joined the university youths and took to the streets. Parents were also involved. Women guardians joined this struggle for rights with their young children. With the blood of thousands of people, Bangladesh is transformed to save the country. The fascist ruler Sheikh Hasina was forced to flee the country.
Description of the Incident of Martyrdom
The general public of Bangladesh is crushed by the harsh realities of life. Thousands of Shaheeds are victims of the brutal cruelty of the fascist Hasina government. With whose blood, today's second independence 2024 has been achieved. During this movement, the police and RAB forces, under the orders of the autocratic Hasina government, carried out inhumane torture on the people. Tear gas and rubber bullets were fired at unarmed people on the streets. When they failed to stop the protesters even with this, Hasina displayed extremely barbaric behavior to keep her power. Under her orders, the police and RAB forces opened fire from helicopters on unarmed students, the public, and ordinary people. In an instant, the streets of Dhaka were flooded with blood. At that time, Arif was driving a rickshaw in Shani Akhra area of Jatrabari. The police were constantly firing from helicopters. The students and the public were scattered by the continuous police firing. While driving a rickshaw in the Rayerbagh area, Arif was shot from a helicopter around 12 o'clock. He was injured there and fell to the ground. The rickshaw pullers he knew from the surrounding area took him home. He died shortly after being brought home.
He was taken to Dhaka Medical College for post-mortem. Two days later, he was buried in the Matuail graveyard.
