Md. Rabbi

Shaheed Md. Rabbi (20) was a beloved child of his parents from a young age. He was very attentive to his studies from childhood. But due to family hardship, he could not continue his education much further. He studied with great difficulty up to the 8th grade in a madrasa. Later, forced by poverty to support his family, he started working as a mason in Bahaddarhat area of Chittagong.
Family Life
Shaheed Rabbi came to Chittagong with many dreams. He had just gotten married 5 months ago. He couldn't give his wife much time. He wanted to earn money for a better life and take care of his family and parents and cover all their expenses, but those dreams remained just dreams. A killer's bullet instantly destroyed all his needs and wants in life.
Background of the Movement
Against the autocratic Hasina government, a fierce movement to overthrow the government arose surrounding the quota reform movement. Thousands of people were indiscriminately shot and killed. Finally, the coordinators of the Anti-Discrimination Student and People's Movement called for a 'March to Dhaka' program.
A peaceful movement began on July 17th, centered around quota reform. Then, on the 18th, in different districts of the country, the killer police and terrorist Awami League, with weapons in hand, 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. The student movement that arose against discrimination gradually turned into a mass movement of freedom-seeking people. After keeping the network closed for almost 5 days, the government police and Awami terrorists carried out a historically brutal and heinous attack on the common people. A horrific massacre was carried out and bodies were disappeared.
Finally, without accepting the demands of the students, the 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.
Joining the Movement and Martyrdom
The fearless soldier Md. Rabbi joined the Anti-Discrimination Student and People's Movement with the freedom-seeking people in Bahaddarhat, Chittagong on the evening of the 4th. Putting all fear aside, he actively moved forward, giving slogans at the forefront of the procession. At one point, in a joint attack by the killer police and the terrorist Chhatra League, who had been lying in wait from the beginning, he was brutally shot all over his body, including his head and neck. He instantly fell to the ground. In a difficult situation, his bloody, lifeless body lying on the street could not be recovered in any way. Somehow, people next to him in the procession rescued Rabbi and quickly admitted him to the hospital. Writhing in extreme mortal pain, Md. Rabbi, at 7 pm, relinquished all worldly ties and flew away from this world like a bird to paradise. He left behind a revolutionary, exemplary, and glorious memory for the young generation to emulate and follow.
Unspoken Feelings of Relatives
Sumaiya Begum (wife) says: "My husband is Fazle Rabbi. He was being martyred by the killer police's bullet in Bahaddarhat, Chittagong. I was married to him 5 months ago. I spoke to him the day before his death. While alive, he used to send me 2/3 thousand Taka every month. That day I was offering Maghrib prayers. Suddenly I heard that my husband had been shot and killed. Hearing this news, my surroundings became dark. Everything seemed to blur in an instant. I never even imagined in my dreams that he would leave me alone like this so soon. I strongly demand justice for my husband's murder."
Joytun Nesa (mother) says: "My son Fazle Rabbi used to work as a mason in Chittagong after studying in a madrasa. He lived with his elder brother Rasel. After going abroad, Rasel spent 7 lakh Taka and still owes 4 lakh Taka. He pays 5 installments of various societies. My son always called and consoled me. He used to pray regularly. When I heard that my son had been shot, I fainted. I want justice for my son's murder."
Bibi Surma (middle sister) says: "We are speechless after my brother was shot and killed. He went to Chittagong to earn a living and alleviate the poverty of our family. He actively participated in the anti-discrimination movement. Since the day my brother died, there is no one in our family to send money. My father is a paralysis patient. I demand that the killer Hasina be brought to justice and tried in the country."
