The minister stood on the janaza of the freedom fighters, ONE sat on the chair!

Narsingdi: The freedom fighter Sirajul Islam, president of the Khidirpur Union Awami League in Manohardi, Narsingdi, was suffering from old age. He took his last breath at 11 a.m. last Tuesday (September 29).

The freedom fighter Sirajul Haque is the older brother of Liga president Manohardi Upazila Awami and a lawyer for the Narsingdi court prosecutor Fazlul Haque.

In the afternoon, the local deputy and the Minister of Industries, Nurul Majid Mahmud Humayun, personally attended the janaza, paying tribute to the party leader and freedom fighter.

The minister was in the janaza when party leaders and workers commemorated the late leader and freedom fighter. In addition, the police, leaders and activists were also present, including Upazila’s assistant, Land Iqbal Hasan. But Upazila Nirbahi (UN) officer Shafia Akhter Shimu was sitting in the next chair. Such an image goes viral on social media. And there was discontent among local leaders and workers. Mixed reactions across the district.

Local leaders and activists have expressed anger at the incident. A high-ranking leader of the Upazila Awami League told banglanews that UNO Shafia Akhter Shimu presented himself as the son of a freedom fighter. Also, he got his job at Muktijoddha Kota. We do not understand how a minister can sit in a UN chair when a minister stands there to pay his respects at the funeral of a freedom fighter. This is the ultimate in rudeness.

Also earlier, a Khidirpur Union freedom fighter was buried without state status.

Nusrat Eva wrote on Facebook: “He cannot attend the janaza of a heroic freedom fighter to be honored, but the main purpose should be to honor the heroic freedom fighter at the last farewell.” There is no opportunity to receive janaza hospitality. We know that an officer from Upazila Nirbahi is a respected person, but that does not mean that he has more respect than a heroic freedom fighter. The heroic freedom fighters are the heroes of the creation of an independent state. ‘

In this regard, Upazila Nirbahi (UN) officer Shafia Akhter Shimu said: “As a human being, I always try to respect and cooperate with everyone.” As one of the party leaders made a long speech, the minister rose from his chair and asked him to shorten it. Time is 2-3 seconds. Meanwhile, someone took a photo motivated by a purpose. That image went viral. The matter is very sad.
