Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami organized a protest rally and gathering in Chattogram condemning the recent attacks, arson, and unrest in Gopalganj. The demonstration began on the afternoon of July 17 from the north gate of Andarkilla Shahi Jame Masjid and marched through key city streets before concluding with a rally in front of the Press Club.

Addressing the rally, Jamaat's Acting Metropolitan Ameer Muhammad Nazrul Islam stated that the July 2024 uprising was a mass explosion against fascism, symbolized by the martyrdom of Abu Sayeed and others. He alleged that during this significant anniversary, an orchestrated attack in Tungipara aimed to destabilize the situation.

Nazrul Islam also highlighted the historical contexts of the Liberation War, national unity, and ongoing political oppression during his speech.
