Salauddin Mumtaz

Salauddin Mumtaz (; 23 August 1945 – 31 July 1971) was a Bengali military officer during the Bangladesh Liberation War.

In Bangladesh he is honorifically designated ''Shahid'' ("martyr") for dying for the Bangladeshi cause. He was also posthumously given the title ''Bir Uttom'', meaning "better among braves" in Bengali, the second-highest Bangladeshi award for gallantry. He is famous for one of his last quotes: "Yahya [the Pakistani president] don't have the bullet to stop Salauddin," which ultimately proved true when, after all other efforts failed, the Pakistan Army only stopped him with a mortar bomb.
