Md. Alauddin

Shaheed Alauddin was born in 1989 in a poor family in Chandpur district. His father's name is Mr. Md. Siddiqur Rahman and his mother's name is Mosammat Saleha Begum. Shaheed Alauddin became an orphan at a young age, losing both his parents. He was the youngest among five siblings. After losing his parents, he grew up with his siblings. Thus began his struggling journey. He grew up gradually and his responsibilities also increased. All the elder brothers got married and started separate families. At one point, Shaheed Alauddin came to Dhaka for livelihood.
After coming to Dhaka, he started a polythene business. With the income, he managed himself. Besides, he used to send money home to his unmarried younger sister. He was just starting to dream of saving some money and getting married to start a family. But that was not to be. He became a victim of the cruelty of the autocratic government in the anti-discrimination student movement. In the movement, the government carried out Israeli-style helicopter shootings targeting the public. Shaheed Alauddin was martyred after being injured in this shooting.
Shaheed Alauddin's Life and Martyrdom
Family Condition
Shaheed Alauddin came from a poor family. His parents passed away long ago. He has four brothers and one sister. All the elder brothers are married and have separate families. And the younger sister is yet to be married. The responsibility of the younger sister fell on Alauddin's shoulders. They have no land or property. There is no good house to live in. Shaheed Alauddin used to run his own and his sister's expenses by doing a polythene business in Narayanganj, Dhaka. The condition of the other brothers is also not very good. Everyone is saddened by the death of Shaheed Alauddin. Who will take the responsibility of his younger sister now? Who will arrange the marriage of the younger sister?
The Incident of Martyrdom
In 2008, the Awami League came to power through a questionable election. Sheikh Hasina became the Prime Minister as the party chief. Although they talked about good governance before the election, they changed their form after coming to power. Gradually, the real face of the autocrat covered with a cloak of good people began to emerge. Gradually, an anarchic situation was created in the country. To establish autocratic rule, the country's election system was destroyed and people's right to vote was snatched away. A heinous culture of giving someone else's vote at night and one person's vote was created. Not only this, but the country was brought to the brink of destruction through corruption, bribery, drugs, smuggling, money laundering, bank looting, embezzlement of money in the name of development, looting of public property by party people, excessive price hike of goods, etc. Various discriminations were created in government jobs, including corruption, appointment of unqualified party people through bribes, and deprivation of meritorious people through the quota system.
When the discrimination reached its extreme, the discontent in the public became intense. In 2018, the students started the quota reform movement. There, the Chhatra League cadre force of the ruling party attacked the protesters. Even after not being able to stop the movement, the quota system was abolished by an executive order. But in reality, no implementation is seen. In 2024, this issue comes to the fore again. In an order of the court, the executive order of the government is canceled. The movement starts. The freedom-seeking people of this country cannot tolerate extreme discrimination in the name of quota.
On the one hand, there is discrimination, and on the other hand, the long-standing anger in the minds of the people erupts in the movement. Initially, the movement was for quota reform, but it gradually turned into an anti-discrimination movement and finally into a one-point movement for the overthrow of the government. The government becomes desperate to suppress the movement. The government brutally tortures the protesters through the members of the police, RAB, BGB, DB, Ansar forces. People are killed by shooting. The helmet force members of Awami League, Jubo League and Chhatra League join the government forces.
The barbarity of the autocrat Sheikh Hasina surpasses all the previous rulers. People sleeping in the dark of night are picked up and killed. The accomplices of the autocrat beat and kill innocent people just for speaking out against discrimination and dance on the dead bodies. To suppress the movement, people are targeted and shot with heavy weapons from helicopters. Shaheed Alauddin is a victim of such barbarity. On July 20, during the movement, Alauddin was stationed on Chittagong Road in Jatrabari. At that time, there was a fierce clash between the public and the police force there. Helicopters were also firing heavy weapons. Suddenly, a bullet hits Alauddin. Alauddin's bloody body falls to the ground in an instant. There, the life air of Shaheed Alauddin runs out.
