Bangladesh Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus delivered an emotionally charged speech at Sharif Osman Hadi's funeral, vowing to fulfill the anti-India leader's ideals. Hadi, an Inqilab Mancha spokesperson who rose during last year's uprising against Sheikh Hasina, was shot by masked assailants on December 12 and died in Singapore on Thursday. Yunus told hundreds of thousands of mourners at Sangsad Bhaban that Hadi would remain in Bangladeshis' hearts forever, pledging "we will not bow before anyone." The funeral echoed with slogans like "Delhi or Dhaka? Dhaka, Dhaka." Police suggest suspects fled to India, fueling diplomatic tensions. Hadi's death triggered violent nationwide protests, attacking media houses and resulting in Hindu man Dipu Chandra Das's lynching.
