Dhaka, Dec. 20 -- Thousands of people have bid an emotional farewell to Osman Hadi, convenor of the Inqilab Moncho platform who died after being shot earlier this month.

A funeral prayer service was held at the South Plaza of the Parliament complex on Saturday and was attended by Chief Advisor Muhammad Yunus, members of the interim government's Advisory Council, senior political leaders and people from across the country.

The funeral prayers were led by Hadi's elder brother, Abu Bakar Siddique.
