No one has forgotten Nur Hossain. But there was no consensus on how the day would be remembered. The BNP declared the day a historic day on November 10. The Awami League declared it as Nur Hossain Day.
In the 1996 parliamentary elections, the Awami League formed the government with a single majority. Ershad was in Dhaka Central Jail for five years. His party supported the Awami League in forming the Jatiya Party government. Ershad secured bail in all cases. He was elected to five seats from prison. He apologized for the death of Nur Hossain in the session of the National Assembly. The Jatiya Party declared November 10 as the Day of Democracy. In a 2012 statement, Ershad criticized the Awami League and BNP, saying that opposition parties used the corpse policy to provoke people.
On the occasion of Nur Hossain Day on November 10, 2012, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said that the people of Bangladesh have regained their right to vote and rice in exchange for Nur Hossain’s sacrifice. At that time, Nur Hossain’s mother, Maryam Bibi, made an anticlimax. “It just came to our attention then. But I don’t regret it. I’m proud of Nur Hossain.
Zero Point is now Nur Hossain Square. Stamps have been issued in his memory. The talks on the progress of democracy in this country continue in the blood of Nur Hossain. Nur Hossain has the status of a martyr, but like many other martyrs, his murder was not investigated or tried. No one has been held responsible for those who gave their lives in the road movement from February 21 to today. No one was tried.
