Osman Hadi under 48-hr observation, still not out of danger: Inqilab Moncho

Sharif Osman Hadi, an independent MP aspirant for Dhaka-8 and spokesperson for Inqilab Moncho, is still under observation at Evercare Hospital in the capital, according to Prothom Alo.

Around 10:15am today, Inqilab Moncho's Member Secretary Abdullah Al Jaber told Prothom Alo from Evercare Hospital that Osman Hadi has an "internal response" but remains in a critical condition. Physicians have placed him under 48-hour observation and are unable to say anything beyond that at this stage.

On behalf of Inqilab Moncho, Abdullah Al Jaber requested people across the country to pray for Osman Hadi's recovery. He has been staying at the hospital since Osman Hadi was admitted yesterday.

Around10:30am, Fahim Faruqi, convener of a platform called Mancha-24, spoke to media personnel in front of Evercare Hospital. He said, "This attack was planned. We have seen evidence through various sources that the attackers are members of the banned Chhatra League. Yet the government is expressing its inability to catch the criminals."

He demanded quick trial of those involved.

A day after the schedule for the 13th parliamentary election was announced, Osman Hadi was shot yesterday afternoon.

He was initially taken to Dhaka Medical College Hospital in critical condition and later transferred to Evercare Hospital in the capital.
