Whatever happens anywhere, all the anger falls on 32 Dhanmondi! Bangabandhu Mujibur Rahman's house had been abandoned since February. A skeletal structure of brick and cement stands there. But hammers struck again at that dilapidated concrete structure. As news of the death of Sharif Osman Hadi, a prominent face of the 'Inquilab Mancha', emerged, Bangladesh became turbulent. Once again, Bangabandhu's house became a 'thorn in the eye'.
Mujib's multi-story house was written on with red ink – 'Karmafal' (consequence of deeds). On Friday, the sound of hammers echoed again from that Dhanmondi address. In February this year, attempts were made to raze Bangabandhu's house at 32 Dhanmondi to the ground using bulldozers and cranes. Extensive looting took place. The walls of the house were torn apart.

At that time, attempts were made to erase Bangabandhu's graffiti painted on the walls of Al Beruni Hall. No 'bandage' was applied to those scars afterwards, and the house somehow remained standing. After Hadi's death, attempts were made to inflict sharp pain on those wounds again.
After Friday prayers on Friday, vandalism began there again. Many claim that the angry protesters are carrying out this attack due to Hadi's death. Minors were also seen in that group.
Another group was taking photos and videos. In the late afternoon, the writing on Bangabandhu's house was still glowing – 'Karmafal'. No response from the local administration has been received on this matter yet.
