BNP leader Begum Selima Rahman reflected on the July uprising, expressing disappointment over unfulfilled anti-discrimination hopes after one year. She accused Dr. Muhammad Yunus, brought into the interim government to maintain neutrality, of failing to do so and aligning with one-sided views, attempting to form a new political party that caused public discontent. She criticized the ruling Awami League for selling out the Liberation War spirit and monopolizing the uprising’s credit. Selima stressed the need for a people's government and lamented the silence over workers who died, with only some students raising voices.
