The BNP has formed two sub-committees to support its ‘Uprising 2024: National Unity and Democratic Journey’ initiative. A "Media Sub-Committee" has been tasked with promoting the movement across national and international platforms and coordinating with the 'July–August Uprising, Mourning and Victory Anniversary' committee. Moudud Hossain Alamgir Pavel will lead this committee.

Additionally, a "Implementation Sub-Committee" was formed to oversee events under the program titled ‘Children in the Democratic Journey’, headed by BNP Media Cell member Atikur Rahman Ruman.

Nasir Mia, an active BNP member from Sunamganj, has alleged that he was subjected to brutal torture and extortion by members of the Detective Branch (DB) in Dhaka. According to Nasir, he was abducted and taken to the DB office on Mintu Road while visiting the capital to attend a High Court hearing regarding the legal leasing of the Jadukata-1 sand mine.

He claims a group led by Ratan Mia, a former leaseholder with alleged political ties to the ruling party, filed a court case against him, later joined by BNP leader Mahbubur Rahman. Despite agreeing to a revenue-sharing arrangement, Mahbub continued the lawsuit. Nasir alleges that during his visit to Dhaka on June 25, he was detained by DB officials aided by Ratan and Mahbub’s associates, threatened to drop the case, and forced to hand over Tk 5.74 lakh.

Ali Riaz, Vice-Chair of the Consensus Commission, reported that most political parties support the idea of a bicameral parliament in principle, though some have minor objections. Many parties favor proportional representation for elections, although a few remain opposed. Riaz explained that a new appointment committee will replace the existing NCC, responsible for key appointments in bodies like the Election Commission, Anti-Corruption Commission, Public Service Commission, Auditor General’s Office, National Human Rights Commission, and the Information Commission. He urged all political actors to consider the proposals seriously.

Jamaat-e-Islami’s Abdullah Mohammad Taher said there has been notable progress among parties regarding the formation of a permanent appointment committee for constitutional and statutory institutions. However, BNP still has reservations. “Total consensus is nearly impossible,” he remarked. “We are working to reduce complexity.” He emphasized the need for the upper house to reflect public sentiment and not just MP votes, stating that most parties are now broadly supportive of a bicameral legislature.

BNP leader Aminul Haque has alleged that some political advisors, aided by foreign interests and allies of the ruling Awami League, are conspiring to delay the upcoming February 2025 national election. “Regardless of the conspiracies, a free and participatory election will be held in February, Insha’Allah,” he said. He added that BNP will remain rooted in the people’s aspirations and warned that members found collaborating with Awami loyalists will face internal disciplinary actions.

BNP senior leader Mirza Abbas criticized certain political actors for making divisive demands, warning that they are attempting to derail the election process and endanger the nation's future. Speaking pointedly at the Islami Andolon, Abbas said, “While BNP-Jamaat was being crushed under state repression, your leaders applauded from the sidelines and tacitly supported Hasina.” He urged all parties to work together constructively, rather than issuing ultimatums such as requiring PR voting or local elections first. “Why must everything happen according to your script?” he asked.

BNP leader Salahuddin Ahmed has stated that his party has not reached consensus on proposals concerning the formation of appointment committees for constitutional and statutory bodies, as well as the election process for the proposed upper house of parliament. "We shouldn't be forced to agree on everything," he said. While BNP has shown sincerity in talks around the July Charter and agreed on several core constitutional issues—including Article 70, presidential elections, and limits on the prime minister’s tenure—they argue that further consensus requires continued discussion. The party supports a 100-member upper chamber and the idea that deputy speakers should come from the opposition. However, it insists that upper house representation be based on lower house seat distribution.

Sarjis Alam, a senior leader of the National Change Platform (NCP), addressed recent statements made by activist Umama Fatema. He acknowledged her contributions during the popular uprising and her leadership in anti-discrimination movements but noted that perspectives differ. "Some of her concerns need to be understood through dialogue. Not all her allegations can be dismissed outright, nor can they all be accepted without scrutiny," Sarjis added. He emphasized the importance of collaboration to address issues constructively within the evolving post-uprising context.

Senior BNP leader Amir Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury has dismissed doubts about the February 2026 national elections. "There are no signs indicating the election will not be held on time. Preparations are underway across the country," he said. Khosru criticized those questioning the electoral process without cause, saying such efforts only disrupt the democratic process. He also accused certain political groups of exploiting local incidents—such as the recent events in Cumilla—for electioneering purposes. Khosru mentioned that the Canadian High Commissioner has expressed support for election preparations and Canada's willingness to assist.

BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has condemned the rape of a Hindu woman in Muradnagar, calling it a "heinous act." He warned against politicizing the incident, stating that some vested interests are trying to use it for political gain. "Criminals emboldened by impunity are continuing their misdeeds. Perpetrators of violence against women must not have political protection," he said. Fakhrul also claimed that Muradnagar's local BNP advisor, since his appointment, has been behaving like ruling party MPs—trying to exert dominance in the area. He further expressed concern that the repression of minorities, as seen in authoritarian regimes, is once again being repeated.

BNP Chairperson's Advisor Fazlur Rahman has alleged that he was barred from entering Bangladesh for years by former President Abdul Hamid. "Hamid kept me imprisoned under false sedition charges and refused to let me return," he stated. Rahman further claimed that Abdul Hamid now survives politically only through the mercy of Jamaat-e-Islami. He alleged that Hamid’s brother-in-law, Jihad Khan, is currently Jamaat’s candidate for Kishoreganj-3. "He relies on Golam Azam’s son and Jamaat leader Dr. Shafiqur Rahman to maneuver politically, even to travel abroad," Rahman said. He strongly criticized the former president, adding, “The Hamids of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman now live under the grace of Jamaat. I refuse to exist for even a second under the mercy of anti-Liberation forces.”

On Sunday, Canadian High Commissioner to Bangladesh Ajit Singh paid a courtesy visit to BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir at the BNP Chairperson’s office in Gulshan. BNP Standing Committee member Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury and Organising Secretary Shama Obaid also attended the meeting.

Ten years after the death of JCD student leader Nuruzzaman Jony in an alleged police “gunfight,” his father Yakub Ali has filed charges in a tribunal against 62 people, including former Awami League MP Saber Hossain Chowdhury and ex-DMP Commissioner Asaduzzaman Mia. According to the complaint, on January 19, 2015, Jony and a classmate were returning from Dhaka Central Jail after visiting his younger brother when they were unlawfully detained by men claiming to be Detective Branch officers. Witnesses reported hearing cries near Jorapukur playground early the next morning. At dawn, police were seen nearby, and Jony’s body was discovered.

BNP leader Ruhul Kabir Rizvi alleged that an Awami League figure was responsible for “heinous misconduct” in Muradnagar but the ruling party was falsely blaming the BNP.

“Sheikh Hasina may have fled, but her accomplices remain, continuing their misdeeds,” he said, adding that the lack of strong action by law enforcement was emboldening such activities.

He demanded swift prosecution of those involved. Meanwhile, the local chairman described the incident as “a mere extramarital affair,” claiming that student activists from the ruling party laid a trap, caught the couple red-handed, and filmed them.

NCP Convenor Nahid Islam announced plans to hold a public reading of the July Declaration and Manifesto on August 3 at the Central Shaheed Minar, marking Anti-Fascism Day.

He said the declaration was meant to be accepted by consensus and implemented within 30 working days, which have now passed without any government action. “To honor the historic context of July, constitutional recognition, and the martyrs’ legacy, this declaration is essential,” he added.

He called on citizens to join the event and voice their collective aspirations.
