Mohamed Morsi vs Nawab Sir Khwaja Salimullah

Morsi won Egypt's first democratic presidential election after the 2011 revolution, defeating Ahmed Shafiq. He became the first Islamist and first civilian president of Egypt, representing the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party.

Morsi issued a constitutional declaration that placed his decisions above judicial review and protected the constituent assembly drafting the new constitution. This move sparked massive protests and accusations of a power grab, deepening political polarization.

After mass protests against his rule, the Egyptian military led by General Abdel Fattah el-Sisi removed Morsi from office. He was placed under house arrest and later faced trials on charges including espionage and inciting violence.

Morsi collapsed and died during a court hearing in Cairo where he was on trial for espionage. His death was attributed to natural causes, but his family and supporters alleged medical neglect. He was buried in a secret location.

Salimullah supported the 1905 Partition of Bengal, which created a Muslim-majority East Bengal. He argued it would benefit the Muslim population economically and politically, though the partition was reversed in 1911 due to Hindu opposition.

Salimullah played a key role in founding the All-India Muslim League in Dhaka. The League aimed to protect Muslim political rights in British India, later becoming the driving force for the creation of Pakistan.

Salimullah hosted the 20th session of the All-India Muhammadan Educational Conference at his palace in Shahbag, Dhaka. This conference directly preceded the founding of the Muslim League, providing the political platform for its creation.

Salimullah founded the Ahsanullah School of Engineering in Dhaka, later becoming the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology. This institution provided technical education to Bengali Muslims, advancing industrial development in the region.
