Shamim Osman (Bengali: শামীম ওসমান; born 28 February 1961)[3] is a Bangladesh Awami League politician and the current member of parliament from Narayanganj-4 constituency.[4]

Career[]

Osman was elected as a member of parliament at the 7th National Parliamentary Elections in 1996. After losing the position in 2001, he went on self-exile in India and Canada.[4] After around eight years, he came back to Narayanganj in April 2009 when Bangladesh Awami League party returned to power.[4] In 2011, he lost the Narayanganj City Mayoral election to Selina Hayat Ivy.[5] For the 2014 Bangladesh general election, the party picked Osman to contest for Narayanganj-4 constituency, dropping the incumbent Kabori Sarwar.[4]

On 8 March 2013, a 17-year-old student Tanvir Mohammad Toki was found dead in Narayanganj two days after he had gone missing. The victim's father, Rafiur Rabbi, accused Osman's family of the killing of his son.[6] On 25 March, High Court denied anticipatory bail to Osman and his son Ayon Osman.[7]

Khela Hobe (Bengali: খেলা হবে) is a popular political slogan in Bangladesh and India, especially in West Bengal and Assam.[8] The slogan was first used by Bangladeshi politician Osman.[9][10][11]

Osman's older brother, Nasim Osman, was a member of parliament from the Jatiya Party.[12] His younger brother, Salim Osman, is a member of parliament from the Jatiya party.[13] Their father AKM Samsuzzoha was a member of the first parliament of Bangladesh, and their grandfather, M Osman Ali, was a founding member of Bangladesh Awami League.[14]
