Sarjis Alam, Chief Organizer of the National Citizen Party (NCP), has come under fire for his remark describing Bandarban as a place to "send extortionists as punishment." Facing widespread criticism, Alam has publicly apologized for the comment.

The Hill Tracts Student Council declared him "unwelcome" in the region, condemning the remark as an insult to the hill communities and a reflection of state discrimination. In a Facebook post, Sarjis Alam expressed regret and reaffirmed his commitment to fighting for the rights and dignity of all ethnic groups. The student council had earlier warned that if no apology was made, all NCP activities would be declared unwelcome in the Chittagong Hill Tracts.

The Nationalist Citizen Party (NCP) has announced the formation of a "July Uprising Cell" aimed at supporting the families of those killed and injured during the July Uprising.

Following a visit to martyr families in Chattogram, Convener Nahid Islam said the government is expected to issue a formal declaration by August 5, which would give legal recognition to the uprising if incorporated into the Constitution. He acknowledged delays in delivering on-ground support and announced a major public rally in Dhaka on August 3.

BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has made scathing remarks against Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, declaring her a "disgrace to humanity and mothers," and asserted that she must be brought to justice.

Speaking at a rally at Shaheed Ziaur Rahman's shrine in Sher-e-Bangla Nagar under the 'Uprising 2024' program, Fakhrul cited the cries of martyr families, alleging state-sponsored killings by police and security forces. He announced the formation of a BNP fund to support the families of martyrs, stressing that future generations won’t forgive the BNP if it fails to honor their sacrifice.

Muhammad Rashed Khan, Secretary General of Gono Adhikar Parishad, has condemned the recent unrest in Cox's Bazar following provocative comments by NCP leader Nasiruddin Patwari.

He warned that internal political division could lead to a repeat of the 1/11 military-backed takeover, potentially paving the way for Sheikh Hasina’s return to power. Khan recounted how Patwari previously had to de-escalate tensions after controversial remarks about Ziaur Rahman, involving late-night coordination with party leaders. He called for unity among anti-authoritarian forces and urged adherence to principled leadership.

An Islamabad district and sessions court has issued an arrest warrant for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister and PTI leader Ali Amin Gandapur in connection with a case involving illegal possession of alcohol and firearms.

The court rejected Gandapur’s request for exemption from personal appearance and ordered him to appear by July 21. The case has been pending for eight years, with testimonies recorded, but Gandapur has allegedly avoided presenting his own statement. The judge warned that a verdict could be delivered in his absence, and his right to testify could be revoked. This development comes as Gandapur intensifies anti-government protests led by PTI.

Gayeshwar Chandra Roy, a standing committee member of BNP, stated that while BNP supports reform, it does not endorse the Proportional Representation (PR) voting system, labeling it a step backward. Speaking at a discussion in Itakhola, he said BNP is fighting not for power, but to restore people’s voting rights. He warned political rivals against using intimidation and commented on Jamaat-e-Islami, saying although past crimes may be forgiven, they are not forgotten. He added that BNP appreciates the contributions of July’s student and NCP leaders, but rejected notions of political opportunism.

Nahid Islam, convener of the National Citizen Party, warned of a rising culture of fear in the country following the recent public uprising. At a street rally in Bandarban, he said people had taken to the streets in defense of democracy and freedom of expression and would do so again if needed. He urged for an end to ethnic oppression in the Chittagong Hill Tracts and called for inclusive, justice-based development. Nahid criticized the continuity of authoritarian systems regardless of changes in government and advocated for a new political framework beyond the 1972 Constitution.

At least 20 people were injured in a violent clash between Awami League and BNP supporters in Chandibarpur Union, Narail, over local political dominance.

Police said the situation is now under control, with additional forces deployed. Legal action will follow upon receiving complaints.

BNP central leader Aminul Haque has stated that Tarique Rahman plans to make the Holy Quran a mandatory part of the national education curriculum. Speaking at a gathering of Islamic scholars in Pallabi, Dhaka, he emphasized the party's commitment to Islamic values and the vital role of the clergy in building a humane Bangladesh.

Jamaat Ameer Dr. Shafiqur Rahman has returned home after receiving medical attention and has expressed gratitude to those who checked on him. In a Facebook post, he apologized for missing parts of the rally due to illness and thanked leaders such as Khaleda Zia and Tarique Rahman for their concern. “May Allah grant me the strength to continue serving humanity,” he wrote.

Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Dr. Shafiqur Rahman collapsed from heat exhaustion during the rally at Suhrawardy Udyan and was later hospitalized at Ibn Sina Hospital. Leaders of Khelafat Majlis, including Ameer Maulana Abdul Basit Azad and Secretary General Dr. Ahmad Abdul Qadir, visited him at the hospital. Dr. Rahman has since returned home after receiving initial medical care.

BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman has urged citizens to remain vigilant so that no emotional or misguided decisions lead to the resurgence of extremism or fascism. Citing public skepticism over the interim government, he called for transparency and responsibility. Addressing the youth, Tarique emphasized building a just and democratic Bangladesh not just through slogans but through education and skill development. He also remembered the martyrs of 2024 and supported BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir’s proposal for a national rehabilitation fund.

At an event marking the anniversary of a mass uprising, AB Party Chairman Majibur Rahman Manju said the movement's success prevented widespread persecution. “Had the uprising failed, thousands of families of the martyred and injured would have been labeled as extremists and brutally oppressed,” he said. He lamented that the stories of 98% of participants remain unheard and criticized the government for rejecting calls for public hearings. Manju warned that those who abused power must be held accountable and also checked in on the health of Jamaat Ameer Dr. Shafiqur Rahman.

Following their day-long rally at Suhrawardy Udyan on Saturday to press home a seven-point demand, Jamaat-e-Islami activists took the initiative to clean the venue. The rally saw large crowds from Dhaka University and surrounding areas, resulting in litter buildup. After the event, Shahbagh unit Jamaat leader Advocate Shah Mahfuzul Haque led the cleanup drive. Dhaka South city Jamaat Secretary Dr. Shafiqul Islam Masud stated, “We are committed to cleaning the entire field, InshaAllah.”

Addressing a national rally, Jamaat-e-Islami's Nayeb-e-Ameer Dr. Syed Abdullah Mohammad Taher stated that many political actors oppose the Proportional Representation (PR) system because it prevents vote-buying and polling center takeovers. “After August 5, the public wants reform. Electoral reform is essential for fair elections,” he declared. He criticized those opposing reforms as having “ulterior motives,” and questioned their assumptions about winning or rigging future elections. Dr. Taher emphasized that only pro-Bangladesh, pro-good governance forces would succeed in the next election, reaffirming Jamaat’s opposition to extremism and terrorism.
