The Crime Desk: Today is Shaheed Noor Hussain Day. On November 10, 1987, Noor Hossain, a resident of old Dhaka, was shot and martyred as part of a democratic movement on the streets of the capital Dhaka against the then dictator.
On that day, Noor Hossain was at the forefront of the anti-dictatorship march in the capital’s Gulistan area, carrying the slogans ‘Democracy Mukti Pak’ and ‘Democracy Nipat Jak’ on Khaligai. He was shot and martyred when firing was aimed at that procession.
Nur Hossain’s great sacrifice is a significant and inspiring memorable event in the history of Bangladesh’s democratic movement. On that day, the street movement stained with the fresh blood of Shaheed Noor Hussain took a new turn, and through his blood donation, the anti-dictatorship movement of that time gained more momentum.
The then dictator fell on December 6, 1990, due to continuous fighting in the following days.
Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) and other political and social organizations are holding various programs on the occasion of the day.
