BNP leader Ishraque Hossain alleged that certain foreign agents have been identified who had initiated a conspiracy to let foreign troops use Bangladeshi territory under the guise of creating "humanitarian corridors." He said, "Just as Hasina was known as an agent of India, another group is widely viewed as aligned with Pakistan." Referring to Tarique Rahman’s declaration, he added, "Not Delhi, not Rawalpindi, our priority is Bangladesh." Ishraque also warned against narratives suggesting that the country cannot function without a particular leader, calling such notions dangerous. He criticized the idea of delaying elections in the name of reforms and justice.

BNP leader Barkatullah Bulu stated that when Dr. Muhammad Yunus won the Nobel Peace Prize, it was not Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina who congratulated him, but then Mayor of undivided Dhaka, Sadeque Hossain Khoka, who organized a civic reception at the South Plaza of the National Parliament. He added that while Dr. Yunus received state honors under a BNP-led government by then-President Iajuddin Ahmed at Bangabhaban, today his son, Ishraque Hossain, despite winning a court order and having his election gazetted, is still being denied the chance to take oath.

Police in Chattogram have seized a covered van loaded with fabric rolls allegedly intended for making uniforms for the Kuki-Chin National Front (KNF), a hill-based armed separatist group.

This follows earlier operations in which police confiscated over 47,000 KNF uniforms from several local factories.

A case has been filed in Lalmonirhat against Jatiya Party Chairman GM Quader and his wife, alleging their involvement in assaulting and attempting to kill a BNP polling agent during the 2018 national elections. The case was filed by a man named Khalilur Rahman, who claims police initially refused to accept the complaint. OC Mohammad Nurun Nabi has confirmed that an investigation is underway and action will be taken accordingly.

BNP leader Barrister Kaiser Kamal has expressed concern that the current advisers may be misinterpreting the party’s demand for elections within a “logical time frame.” “We do not want citizens to take to the streets to define what that time frame means,” he warned. He reaffirmed BNP’s stance that elections should be held by December. “This was not a sudden demand,” he clarified, adding that acting chairman Tarique Rahman had made this clear from the day Dr. Yunus took oath as Chief Adviser.

BNP leader Dr. AZM Zahid Hossain has called for the immediate declaration and implementation of a roadmap for national reforms, justice, and elections. “The sooner it's done, the faster people’s rights will be restored,” he said.

He also criticized the entrenched influence of pro-autocracy forces within the administration and demanded accountability in the disappearances of political figures Ilias Ali and Chowdhury Alam.

Islami Chhatra Shibir leader SM Farhad accused certain vested groups of conspiring to delay the Dhaka University Central Students’ Union (DUCSU) elections to serve hidden agendas. He warned that if the university administration cooperates with such forces, students will launch another “July Movement” against them. Meanwhile, the university has reported progress in election preparations, currently at phase seven, which includes forming the election commission. Three faculty members have been preliminarily selected.

Following a meeting with the Chief Adviser, NCP convener Nahid Islam insisted that the July Charter must be finalized and published within 30 working days, before August 5. He said an electoral roadmap should only be announced after the charter is in effect. He also called for a restructured Election Commission to ensure free and fair polls.

BNP leader Salahuddin Ahmed asserted that national elections can be held by December and necessary reforms completed within a month. He said key reforms, especially those related to the electoral process, can be implemented through executive orders, ordinances, or office directives without amending the Constitution. He emphasized that consensus-driven reforms should be documented in a political charter, which would be reflected in BNP’s election manifesto and serve as a public commitment.

Following a meeting with the Consensus Commission, Jamaat-e-Islami leader Dr. Syed Abdullah Taher stated that all political parties reiterated their trust in Chief Adviser Dr. Muhammad Yunus. “We expect a credible election under his leadership,” he said. Taher urged that election dates be set between December and April, excluding the weather-challenged months of May and June. He emphasized the importance of allowing expatriates to vote and called for immediate electoral reforms, aiming for a unified “July Charter” to be signed by all parties by July.

BNP leader Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury criticized the proposed budget for FY 2025-26, calling it a continuation of the previous government's approach. He argued that the budget should have been aligned with actual revenue income, which it fails to do. “The budget size should have been more conservative,” he said, adding that its implementation will be difficult for the current government. BNP will officially respond to the budget on June 4. Khasru emphasized that budgets based on real revenue allow for more liquidity in the private sector, boost investment, reduce interest rates, and lower dependency on foreign loans.

Local leaders of the BNP and Anti-Discrimination Student Movement have expressed regret over the recent attack, vandalism, and arson at the residence of Jatiya Party leader GM Quader.

Four accused individuals from both groups appeared at the camp and pledged not to engage in further acts that could disrupt law and order. Authorities warned of strict action to maintain peace in Rangpur.

BNP leader Zainul Abdin Farroque questioned the interim government's delay in holding national elections, arguing that Nobel laureate Dr. Muhammad Yunus could conduct elections within three months. “Why is it taking more than nine?” he asked. He warned against any attempt to sideline the BNP and claimed that such moves would be resisted by the party's grassroots supporters. Farroque also accused the interim government of obsessing over BNP criticism instead of focusing on electoral reform.

Supporters of BNP leader Ishraque Hossain continued their sit-in protest at Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) headquarters on Monday, demanding that he be sworn in as mayor.

Following a Supreme Court verdict, Jamaat-e-Islami's Assistant Secretary General Dr. Hamidur Rahman Azad met with Chief Election Commissioner AMM Nasir Uddin to discuss the party’s re-registration and retrieval of its traditional scales (দাঁড়িপাল্লা) symbol.
