If I die, you will be mother of martyr: Jisan

"I cannot stay at home as all are participating in the movement. Please do not stop me joining the upsurge. If I die, you will be mother of a martyr," these were the last words of Jisan.    

Jasmin Akhter, mother of Abdur Rahman Jisan who was killed during the student-led uprising in Shonir Akhra area on July 20, recalled the last words with her son, as she was reluctant to give permission to her son to take part in the anti-discrimination student movement.

Jesmin Akter, who hailed from Ward-5 under Laksham municipality in Cumilla district, said her husband Babul Mia used to work in a workshop. Later, he went to South Africa with a hope of earning a better living.  They are living in a rented house at Jatrabari in Dhaka city. Their only son Jisan used to supply water by a van to various shops in the area.
