BNP’s Self-Reliance Affairs Deputy Secretary and reserved-seat MP Nilufar Chowdhury Moni has come under sharp criticism for her recent comments about the July Revolution. During a television talk show, she questioned the leadership of the movement and raised doubts about the nature of the killings, suggesting the use of snipers and hinting at a possible design behind the events. She stated that she could not disclose everything, implying that some individuals involved might be exposed if she did.

Nilufar also claimed that no one knew who fired the shots, adding that the bullets might have come from nearby buildings rather than police forces. Her remarks followed earlier controversy when she referred to slain Inquilab Mancha spokesperson Sharif Osman Bin Hadi as a “guinea pig,” which had already sparked outrage on social media. The new comments reignited criticism from within her own party.

Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal President Rakibul Islam Rakib publicly condemned her statements, expressing deep disappointment and rejecting her remarks. He urged Nilufar to show restraint and respect when speaking about the July–August uprising.
