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.

The BNP's student wing, Chhatra Dal, has strongly condemned recent comments made by Nasiruddin Patwary, a leader of the Nationalist Citizens’ Party (NCP), directed at BNP Standing Committee member Salahuddin Ahmed. In a statement issued Saturday night, Chhatra Dal leaders described the remarks as “provocative and disrespectful,” accusing Patwary of repeatedly making “reckless” statements against senior national leaders. “Such behavior fuels a culture of hate in politics and reflects political bankruptcy,” the statement said. Chhatra Dal leaders warned that if public backlash arises, the NCP will bear full responsibility.

BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir and Dr. Abdul Moyeen Khan visited Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Dr. Shafiqur Rahman at a hospital in Dhaka, where he is currently under treatment. Jamaat Secretary General Mia Golam Parwar and Nayeb-e-Ameer Dr. Syed Abdullah Mohammad Taher were also present. Dr. Shafiq fell twice on stage due to heat exhaustion during a rally at Suhrawardy Udyan. He was later admitted to Ibn Sina Hospital in Dhanmondi. According to Jamaat, his blood pressure and sugar levels are now stable. The party has requested prayers for his recovery.

NCP Member Secretary Akhtar Hossain warned that unless the Awami League is held accountable for its actions, Bangladesh could again fall into fascism and autocracy.

Speaking at the Jamaat rally, he said those opposing Proportional Representation (PR) in elections are betraying the nation. “The Awami League has even denied the people their basic right to practice Islam,” he claimed. He called for justice for the martyrs of 24 and pledged peaceful coexistence among all religious communities.

Hefazat-e-Islam Bangladesh has strongly opposed the interim government's agreement to establish a United Nations Human Rights Commission office in Dhaka. In a joint statement, the group’s top leaders warned of stern programs if the deal isn’t canceled immediately. They argue the office is unnecessary for a peaceful country like Bangladesh and claim it serves foreign interests. Citing the 2013 Shapla Square crackdown, they criticized the UN’s silence on past human rights violations and urged the government to meet the demands of the "July Revolution."

Tulsi Gabbard, former U.S. National Intelligence Director, has called for legal action against former President Barack Obama and top officials for allegedly fabricating intelligence to accuse Russia of interfering in the 2016 election. She described the incident as a treasonous conspiracy aimed at removing Donald Trump from office. Gabbard is submitting classified documents to the Justice Department to support her claims. This renewed debate follows the Mueller investigation, which found no collusion between Trump’s campaign and Russia.

Speaking at the Jamaat rally, NCP’s Northern Region organizer Sarjis Alam alleged that Mujibist elements were regaining strongholds in places like Gopalganj and pushing a pro-India agenda in Bangladesh.

He stressed that combating “Mujibism” requires a comprehensive approach—legally, economically, socially, and politically. Calling for unity among all dissenters, he demanded a trial of Sheikh Hasina, the drafting of a new constitution, and elections for a fresh constituent assembly. “We need unity, not blind loyalty,” he asserted.

Five people died in violent clashes during an NCP program in Gopalganj, but postmortems were not conducted on the initial four bodies. Families claim lack of support forced them to bury without examination, while police cite unruly crowds as the reason. Experts warn that without postmortems, holding perpetrators accountable becomes difficult. Legal experts say postmortems can still be ordered by courts later. The police have not clarified if further steps will be taken.

India’s NCERT has revised eighth-grade textbooks for 2025-26, portraying Mughal emperors Babur, Akbar, and Aurangzeb as both patrons of culture and ruthless rulers. The changes depict Akbar as a temple destroyer and Aurangzeb as a symbol of religious persecution, igniting debate over historical accuracy versus political motives. Critics argue this revision downplays Muslim contributions and fuels communal distrust. This move continues a trend since 2014 to reshape history textbooks to emphasize Hindu nationalism, raising concerns about fostering intolerance and rewriting India’s pluralistic past.

Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) launched a special cleanliness and mosquito control campaign in wards 74 and 75, involving over 600 workers and local residents.

Officials emphasized that success in dengue control depends on community participation and maintaining clean surroundings. DSCC also plans infrastructure development in new wards, aiming to build a healthier, cleaner city.

In a social media post, Khan warned that Munir should be held accountable if anything happens to them. He claimed the mistreatment stems from past personal and political tensions with Munir. PTI has announced a nationwide protest on August 5 demanding their release, with Khan’s sons Sulaiman and Qasim expected to lead the movement.

Hezbollah’s deputy chief Sheikh Naim Qassem declared that Israel will never succeed in disarming the Lebanese resistance group. Speaking at a memorial for Commander Ali Karaki, Qassem emphasized Hezbollah’s readiness against Israeli aggression. He criticized U.S.-Israel plans for a new deal aimed at weakening Hezbollah, stating it poses an existential threat to Lebanon. Qassem acknowledged the cost of resistance but warned that surrender would expose the entire nation to attack. He urged unity and resistance to safeguard Lebanon’s sovereignty.

At the Jamaat-e-Islami rally in Suhrawardy Udyan, Islami Chhatra Shibir's Literary Secretary Sadiq Kayem proclaimed that “the upcoming revolution will be an Islamic one.” He asserted that the people of Bangladesh have previously stood up to fascism and will do so again. Kayem referenced the martyrdom of activists at Shapla Chattar, on university campuses, and in the recent July uprising. He accused the previous Awami League government of committing mass killings following Delwar Hossain Sayeedi’s verdict and pointed to the deaths of students, including Abrar Fahad, at the hands of student wing members. “A new revolution is needed to achieve our seven-point demands and safeguard national sovereignty,” he stated.

At a local rally in Cox’s Bazar, NCP senior organizer Nasir Uddin Patwari alleged the rise of a new political godfather in the region. “Previously, we had Shamim Osman in Narayanganj under the Awami League. Now, a new godfather from Shillong is reportedly grabbing land and extorting locals here,” he said.

He called on the people of Cox’s Bazar to resist land grabbing and extortion, accusing local authorities of failing to reform. NCP leaders warned that unless their charter of demands is fulfilled by the end of July, a mass gathering would be held at the Shaheed Minar on August 3.
