Leaders of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami’s Dhaka South unit visited the graves of July uprising martyrs at the Rayerbazar killing ground cemetery on Thursday morning as part of a month-long program marking the second anniversary of the July mass uprising. The delegation was led by the unit’s Nayeb-e-Ameer Abdus Sabur Fakir and included senior city leaders and July movement participants.

At a press briefing following the visit, Abdus Sabur Fakir expressed disappointment that the government had not arranged any official programs to honor those who died during the July uprising. He said the state had yet to recognize the July movement and accused the government of ignoring its spirit. He also alleged that no state media outlets were producing documentaries or reports on the events of 2024, despite the government possessing all related information.

Fakir further claimed that the absence of state commemoration had created public doubt about whether the government was attempting to erase records of the 36-day uprising. He criticized both the ruling party and the BNP for failing to uphold the July movement’s ideals and vowed that the July Charter would eventually be implemented.
