Salim Osman is a Bangladesh Jatiya Party politician and the member of parliament from Narayanganj, the constituency of his deceased elder brother.[1][2] In his early life, he was selling poultry from home to home.

Career[edit]

In 2014, Osman was elected president of Bangladesh Knitwear Manufacturers and Exporters Association.[3] In June 2014, he was elected to parliament from the Narayanganj-5, after the death of the former representative, Nasim Osman, his older brother.[4]

On 13 May 2016, Osman publicly shamed the headmaster of a school at Narayanganj's Bandar Upazila for allegedly insulting Islam.[5] The incident was recorded and published on YouTube.[6][7][8] The headmaster, Shyamal Kanti Bhakta, filed a charge of assaulting against him. In October 2018, a Dhaka court discharged Osman from the case.[9]
