Hadi's brother Abu Bakr Siddique, his sister Masuma, and three leaders of Inquilab Mancha - Abdullah Al Jaber, Fatima Tasnim Zuma, and Md Borhan Uddin - met the chief adviser at the State Guest House Jamuna.
Muhammad Yunus said the government is taking all necessary steps to ensure the best possible treatment for Hadi.
"The whole country is praying for him. Everyone is trying to ensure that he receives the best medical care. If his physical condition requires treatment abroad, the government will make arrangements to send him wherever necessary," he said.
Hadi's sister Masuma said he has loved the country wholeheartedly since childhood and has long been involved in revolutionary activities. "Revolutionary poetry is his favourite, and he loves to recite it. He has a 10-month-old child. Hadi is our backbone," she said.
Masuma that Hadi has much work ahead of him and must survive. "You, the revolutionary government, must protect the July revolutionaries at any cost. Otherwise, the independence and sovereignty of this country will be threatened," she said.
Demanding the immediate arrest of the perpetrators, Inqilab Mancha leader Abdullah Al Jaber said that after 5 August (July Uprising), many people returned home, but Hadi continued working tirelessly for the July Uprising.
"He embraced the July Movement and worked day and night for it. I have heard that the person who fired the shot was earlier arrested in another case. The process through which he was granted bail must be investigated," Jaber said.
Fatima Tasnim Zuma demanded that the government take steps to ensure the overall security of the July fighters.
Law Adviser Asif Nazrul; Environment Adviser Syeda Rizwana Hasan; Industries Adviser Adilur Rahman Khan; and National Security Adviser Dr Khalilur Rahman were also present at the meeting.
