Leaders of the hall union have put up posters renaming Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Hall at Dhaka University as “Shaheed Osman Hadi Hall".
The decision came amid widespread protests on campus following the death of Inqilab Moncho Convenor Sharif Osman bin Hadi in Singapore on Thursday night.
By midnight on Friday, the union leaders had affixed posters bearing Hadi’s name at the front of the residential hall.
Sharif Osman bin Hadi, the fiery face of the July Uprising, convenor of Inqilab Moncho and a prospective candidate for the upcoming 13th national parliamentary election, is no more. He passed away on Thursday at 9:45 pm while receiving medical treatment in Singapore.
Hadi was critically injured on December 12 when assailants opened fire on him while he was traveling in a rickshaw near the water tank in Bijoynagar, Dhaka. Two individuals on a motorcycle approached his rickshaw, and one of them shot him at close range before fleeing the scene.
He was initially taken to the emergency department of Dhaka Medical College Hospital and later transferred to Evercare Hospital for advanced ICU care.
