Hasnat Abdullah, the Southern Regional Coordinator of the Nationalist Citizens' Party (NCP), has said that some are labeling the attack on 32 No. as the act of a "mob," and in the future, they will use the same term for the upcoming July uprising — all in an attempt to curry favor with Awami League voters. Speaking at a meeting with families of martyrs and injured activists in Jessore, Abdullah emphasized that while the NCP is not against elections, it will not participate in any without ensuring justice, reform, and the demands tied to the July uprising are met. During the event, family members of fallen activists expressed frustration over being denied official recognition and state honors. NCP leaders assured them of continued support, pledging to publish the "July Charter" and formally include these families under state recognition.
