Jamaat leader Selim Uddin has stated that the fall of dictatorship on July 36 (Islamic calendar) marked the beginning of a new dawn in Bangladesh. He praised the role of madrasa students in the movement, many of whom, he claimed, were martyred or injured. Referring to the 2013 Hefazat protests, he said the sacrifices of these students should be formally recognized. Uddin demanded that the July revolutionaries be granted national hero status to inspire future generations to defend the country. He urged the government and society to ensure the financial security of martyr families, emphasizing the need for tangible recognition over mere rhetoric.
