Md. Shamim Hawlada

Shaheed Shamim Hawladar was born in 1986 in Goptomunsi village, Bhola district. His father's name was Abdul Mannan Hawladar, and his mother's name was Beauty Begum. After his father's death, he tried to uphold his ideals. He had deep love for his father, and therefore, he was extremely respectful towards his mother. Shamim was gentle, polite, and an ideal person. He was an electrician by profession and an active member of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami. Shaheed Shamim supported his siblings with the money he earned.
He had three sons. He had many dreams for them. He wanted to educate his sons and raise them to be honest, skilled, and patriotic citizens. Just as he was sincere towards his family, his love for the country was also boundless. He was always vocal against injustice.
Circumstances of Shaheed Shamim's Martyrdom
Shamim had been facing the wrath of the autocratic government for 15 long years. He had made many sacrifices. When the coordinators of the anti-discrimination student movement became vocal about their rights, the government disregarded their movement and said, "Will all the quotas be given to the Razakars?" This further fueled the movement. Inhuman torture of students increased day by day. Shamim Hawladar came to Dhaka from Bhola after Eid-ul-Adha to his workplace. He received an invitation to a rally on July 20th to participate in the anti-discrimination student-public movement and joined the rally. Police and helmet-wearing forces began firing indiscriminately all around. At 11 am, it became intense.
At the Mohammadpur intersection, the police started heavy firing. He was injured by a bullet then, but this did not deter him from the movement. At around 5 pm, during the movement for people's rights, there was a shootout between the police and the students. The police shot and brutally killed Shamim Hawladar. Fellow protesters took him to the hospital. The on-duty doctor later pronounced him dead.
Shaheed Shamim was a good, amiable person to everyone in his family. According to his family and people in the community, Shaheed Shamim had no hatred or anger in his heart. But he never tolerated injustice. Finally, leaving behind the allure of this world, he participated in the movement to end discrimination and was being martyred by police bullets. People from all walks of life pray for Shamim Hawladar, wishing him Jannat (paradise).

The family has lost everything, as they have lost their only earning member.
