Md. Monir

The people of Bangladesh are historically combative. In struggles, revolutions, and mass uprisings, Bengalis will continue to be discussed as a symbol of valor and heroism, a wonder of the world. Many jewels have been added to the treasury of achievements. Such as: the Language Movement of '52, the mass uprising of '69, the anti-autocracy movement of '90, and finally, the second independence of August 5th. It is to be noted that August 5th is considered the second independence because in this movement, the people of Bangladesh were able to overthrow an occupying government without the help of any foreign power. The Awami League government, which repeatedly claimed to be the sole owner of the Great Liberation War, often said that they liberated Bangladesh. And behind this independence was India. In this way, by glorifying India, they repeatedly disregarded the participation of the people of Bangladesh. The Awami League government was unelected for a long 15 years.
India played a key role in keeping this fascist government in power. Therefore, through the July-August mass uprising, we achieved independence anew. The day was Monday. A memorable day for the Bengali nation. After 15 long years, the ruling Awami League party was defeated. Former Prime Minister and Awami League President Sheikh Hasina was forced to leave the country due to the quota movement. Sheikh Hasina, along with her younger sister Sheikh Rehana, left Ganabhaban for a safe place. To make the ongoing non-cooperation movement successful against the government's resignation demand, the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement's Long March to Dhaka was today.
Earlier, this Anti-Discrimination Student Movement, which grew up around the quota reform movement, announced a new two-day program. This movement continued throughout the month of July. At one point, the government reformed the quota. However, due to the violence surrounding the quota reform movement, a one-point demand arose: the resignation of Sheikh Hasina. From 11 am today, people started pouring towards Dhaka. Defying the curfew, they started coming from different places. At one point, Shahbagh, the Central Shaheed Minar, and other important places became crowded. But even that day, police, Awami League, Chhatra League, Jubo League, and other forces were seen killing people like vicious beasts. In Banshal, the capital, police, RAB, and APBN members started firing indiscriminately at the protesters who came to the March to Dhaka program. Along with many others, Md. Monir was killed by police bullets. Shaheed Monir was involved in BNP politics. He was born in Bhola on February 1, 1990. His father, Joynal Abedin, is a laborer. His mother, Shaheda Begum, is a housewife. Shaheed Monir was the sole breadwinner of his family.
How He Became a Shaheed
Shaheed Md. Monir was a beloved child of his parents from a young age. He was very attentive to his studies from a young age. But due to family poverty, he could not continue his education much further. He studied with great difficulty up to the 8th grade. Later, he was forced to come to Dhaka and start a vegetable business for his family.
Shaheed Monir came to Dhaka with many dreams, that he would earn good money and take care of his family and children well and bear the cost of their education, but the dreams remained just dreams. A killer's bullet came and instantly destroyed all his needs and wants in life.
Against the autocratic Hasina government, a movement to overthrow the government grew up surrounding the quota reform movement. Thousands of people were indiscriminately shot and killed. Finally, the coordinators of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement called for the March to Dhaka program.
On July 17, a tough movement began. Then on the 18th, in different districts of the country, the police and the Awami League, with weapons in their hands, openly shot at the students to suppress the movement, but they did not stop even then, from that night the internet connection was cut off with false pretexts. After keeping the network closed for almost 5 days, the government police and Awami terrorists attacked the common people. Many bodies were disappeared. Finally, without accepting the demands of the students, the then illegal Hasina government tried to inflict even more harm. The students tried to stay united on the streets and called for a non-cooperation movement and the March to Dhaka program was announced on the 5th. Where innocent students are being shot at indiscriminately, a healthy person cannot sit at home, so Monir joined the March to Dhaka program on the 5th.
On August 5th, Shaheed Monir joined the movement in the afternoon. In Banshal, the killer police fired indiscriminately in the movement. The number of casualties increased. At one point, at 12 noon, a police bullet hit Monir's stomach. The killer's bullet entered through his stomach and exited through his back. On August 5th, at 11 pm, this brave warrior was being martyred at PG Hospital. Shaheed Monir's impoverished family was devastated by his death. His family includes his wife, brothers and sisters, and children.
Comments about the Shaheed
Regarding Md. Qaisar, his father-in-law said, "I will not get a son like this again. My daughter has no house with her two children. I seek everyone's good wishes for her."
His wife said, "Leaving behind a son and a daughter, their father passed away. Upon receiving their father's body, the daughter said, 'Brother, let's take father home.' The son brought his father casually at first, but when he saw that his father was no longer talking, the son realized that his father had passed away. Then he grabbed his father and kissed his face with a scream. My children are now orphans, there is no one to look after them anymore. Please take care of the children. Pray for their father, may Allah grant him paradise."
Md. Lokman Hossain (local school teacher) said, "Shaheed Md. Monir is very well known and a relative. We live in the same ward. He often talked about his nephew. Despite his many problems, he wanted to educate his son in a good institution and make him a good Alem (religious scholar). He used to run a small raw material business in Dhaka city, his family condition is not good. The widow has no house to live in. Due to the uncertainty of the education of the two children, it is the demand of everyone's faith to stand by this family."
Md. Nawab (uncle) said, "I will not get a nephew like this again. They have been in Dhaka since childhood. There is no house or land. So, I seek the good will of all of you."
His sister Swapna, with a tearful voice after losing her beloved brother, said, "My brother will not come back. I want my brother to be well in the afterlife."
