Salauddin Mumtaz (Bengali: সালাহউদ্দিন মমতাজ; 23 August 1945 – 31 July 1971) was a Bengali military officer and figure during the Bangladesh Liberation War.
He is honorifically designated Shahid (“martyr”) for dying for the Bangladeshi cause, and 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 (Pakistani Dictator) don’t have the bullet to stop Salauddin”, which eventually proved when after all efforts going into vain, the Pakistan Army had to use morter shell to stop bravely charging Salauddin.
