DYFI leader Maidul Islam’s family loses breadwinner Unit secretary of the Left outfit, who allegedly died of wounds sustained during police-protester clash had told his wife that he would buy books for his daughter
Maidul Islam Middya, 33, the unit secretary of the CPM-backed DYFI in Bankura’s Kotulpur, who died in Calcutta on Monday allegedly of wounds sustained in the police-protester clash that erupted during the February 11 march of Left youths to Nabanna for jobs, had told his wife that he was going to buy textbooks for his daughter.
Maidul, who drove an autorickshaw for a living in Kotulpur, was the sole breadwinner of his family that included his mother Tahamina Biwi, 66, wife Aleya Biwi, 29, two daughters Suraiya Parvin, 10, and Sumaiya Parvin, 5, and niece Rebeka Sultana, 12.
A day after Mamata Banerjee offered a government job to a family member of Maidul Islam Middya, the young DYFI leader who died on Monday allegedly of cop-inflicted injuries in Thursday’s Left march, Trinamul leader and minister Shyamal Santra met Maidul’s wife on Tuesday with the promise of a job.
Maidul, a resident of Chorkola village in Bankura’s Kotulpur, was the sole breadwinner for his mother, wife, two daughters and a niece.
Santra, also Bankura district president of Trinamul and Kotulpur MLA, said: “I gave some financial help and promised to stand by the family till Maidul’s wife (Aleya) got the job. His mother will get old age pension as soon as possible.”
