Md. Ishaq Jamaddar

"Ishaq, who provided security to others all his life, could not ensure his own safety"
Shaheed Md. Ishaq Jamaddar was born on February 4, 1977, in a poor family in Bebajiyakhali village of Bamna Upazila, Barguna District. His father, Abdul Aziz, was a farmer, and his mother, Jobeda Khatun, was a homemaker. Due to poverty, he could not continue his education very far. He had to take care of the family at a young age.
Career
In his professional life, he started living in Adabar, Dhaka, as a security guard. In his professional life, he was a very honest and dedicated person. Although Ishaq was a security guard by profession, he sometimes worked as a day laborer to support a large family of 6 members, including his parents, wife, and two children, on a limited salary. To support the needy family, his two sons, Sabuj, were engaged in sales work, and Sajib, in painting work. Being a security guard in his profession, Ishaq's main job was to provide security to others.
Participation in the Struggle Movement
Forgetting about his own safety on August 5, the day of the second independence, Ishaq Jamaddar, the heroic son of Barguna, took part in the movement, providing security to others all his life. On that day (August 5, 2024), when the autocratic Hasina was forced to resign and flee the country under pressure from the student-public movement, Ishaq Jamaddar was very happy to hear the news and left for Ganabhaban at 12 noon. Meanwhile, the fascist Hasina's henchmen were firing at the students and the public. They were killing people like birds. They did not even know the news of psycho Sheikh Hasina's escape. The henchmen police force did not consider ordinary people as human beings. They continued to shoot at the chests of ordinary students and the public with snipers, rifles, and AK-47s.
In this situation, when Ishaq Jamaddar reached Link Road in Shyamoli, a bullet fired by the merciless police suddenly pierced his left arm and entered his body. He immediately fell face down on the paved hard road, his body turned red with blood. He lay there writhing. Ishaq's comrades immediately admitted him to the emergency department of Suhrawardy Medical Hospital. Then the doctors gave the heart-wrenching two words, 'We are sorry,' 'He is no longer in this world.' Before being riddled with bullets, he had the opportunity to talk to his son for a few moments at 5 pm. He sacrificed his life thinking about the country.
Jamaddar's death cast a shadow of mourning over his family. A shadow of sorrow fell among the locals. His first funeral was held in Adabar, Dhaka, and the second funeral was held in Bamna, his birthplace in Barguna. This innocent person, who was a victim of fascist Hasina's brutality, was very dear among his friends, relatives, and neighbors. Another fresh life was lost in this way. He will be remembered forever in the heart of Bengal and in the heart of every Bengali for his courage.
