Several dismissed or relieved former members of the Bangladesh Army held a protest outside the National Press Club, demanding reinstatement, revocation of punishments, and financial compensation. A team from the military attended the gathering to hear their concerns. The representatives assured the protesters that the demands would be assessed and addressed according to existing military regulations. They also urged the petitioners to send their claims directly rather than through third parties. According to the army, as of May 14, a total of 802 such petitions had been received, with 106 already resolved. The ISPR later reported that some protesters expressed anger toward the returning delegation, prompting a stricter stance from law enforcement agencies.
