Nurul Haque Nur has warned against politicizing the July people's uprising, likening it to how the Awami League monopolized the 1971 Liberation War for political gain. He asserted that the July uprising belongs to the people—not to any political party or individual. “It is the result of the struggles of ordinary citizens from all walks of life,” he said. Nur emphasized that the movement’s goal is to bring down fascism and build a new Bangladesh—where elected representatives truly represent the people and are not selected through manipulated, rigged elections.

Supporters of BNP’s Ishraq Hossain have warned of a city-wide blockade if he is not immediately sworn in as mayor. Under the leadership of SM Reza Selim and Anisuzzaman, Demra BNP leaders staged a siege at Dhaka South City Corporation headquarters, demanding Ishraq’s formal appointment. They argued that an elected mayor is far more accountable and capable of improving city infrastructure than an unelected administrator. The leaders warned that if their demand is not met, further action will be taken from Demra, including cutting off road access between Dhaka and eastern districts.

Jamaat-e-Islami leader Dr. Helal Uddin declared that no fascist force defeated by the people has ever made a comeback—and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will be no exception. “Her family knows this, which is why her son Sajeeb Wazed Joy and others are acquiring foreign citizenship,” he claimed. He emphasized that Jamaat does not guarantee paradise but shows the path to it through establishing divine law. “Without establishing Islamic governance, true practice of Islam is not possible,” he said. He argued that to eliminate corruption like usury and bribery, the economic system must be reformed in line with Islamic principles.

BNP leader Prof. Nargis Begum accused India of weaponizing water as a tool against Bangladesh—an act she described as unprecedented in global diplomacy. She urged all citizens and political parties that believe in sovereignty to unite and demand fair water-sharing rights from India. She also called for stronger environmental movements and greater advocacy by environmental organizations to raise international awareness about India’s actions regarding the Farakka Barrage.

Mahmudur Rahman Manna, president of Nagorik Oikya, has urged political leaders to reassess their approach to securing Bangladesh’s fair share of Teesta River water. He criticized the ruling Awami League for aligning too closely with Indian interests, stating that even after a public uprising, India refuses to let Bangladesh prosper peacefully. Manna noted that unlike Pakistan, Bangladesh does not possess nuclear weapons or missiles to assert pressure and must therefore adopt smarter diplomatic strategies. He cited India’s gradual reduction of water promised in the Farakka agreement and questioned why the media remains silent about the issue. He also warned against handing over key national assets, such as the Chittagong port and internet infrastructure, to foreign entities.

In a public statement, Khelafat Majlish expressed grave concern over the government's positive stance towards establishing a so-called humanitarian corridor in Myanmar’s Rakhine State under foreign sponsorship. They warned against ongoing discussions—both public and secret—regarding leasing the Chattogram Port to foreign powers or multinational corporations. The group described such moves as severe threats to Bangladesh’s national security, sovereignty, and geopolitical interests. Khelafat Majlish demanded an immediate halt to all negotiations and preparations related to the Rakhine corridor and Chattogram Port.

BNP leader Zainul Abedin Farroque has stated that probing former President Abdul Hamid’s departure and the murder of Samya will serve no purpose, as “no one can be brought back.” Instead, he emphasized the urgent need for a free and fair election to restore peace and order in the country. On the corridor issue, he remarked that only an elected government can decide on such matters. “If fair elections are ensured, the souls of those martyred in the July movement will find peace,” he said.

A new youth organization, Jatiya Juboshokti, has been officially launched as the youth wing of the National Citizens' Party (NCP). Advocate Md. Tariqul Islam has been appointed as the convenor, while Dr. Zahidul Islam will serve as the member secretary. During the launch event, Engineer Farhad Sohel was introduced as the chief organizer of the new committee. The program began in the afternoon with the national anthem and a recitation from the Quran. Documentaries related to the July uprising were screened on stage, alongside musical performances and slogans from that historic period.

Livestock Adviser Farida Akhtar announced that mobile veterinary clinics will be established in all cattle markets ahead of Eid-ul-Adha. These clinics will have qualified veterinary surgeons to ensure animal health and offer basic services for humans working in the markets. She emphasized the importance of safety and hygiene for both animals and traders. The Home Ministry has instructed BGB and River Police to closely monitor illegal goods transportation during Eid. Farida also highlighted the financial burden on small farmers, noting the disparity in electricity tariffs between agriculture and the fisheries/livestock sectors.

BNP leader Salahuddin Ahmed described the party's 31-point charter as a political epic encompassing education, health, employment, and basic rights. He accused the Awami League of having a legacy of undermining democracy and pushing for a one-party system. “Since the 2014 fraudulent election, the ruling party has institutionalized corruption,” he claimed. He added that had even half of the looted tax breaks been recovered, the national education and healthcare budgets could have been tripled. He also called for national reconciliation to restore political stability and reduce the backlog of politically motivated legal cases.

Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Dr. Shafiqur Rahman stated, “We aim to restructure the state in a way that guarantees the rights of all citizens.” He criticized past governments for serving narrow personal and political interests. “Jamaat has always worked against the current,” he said, adding that their path has never been easy—especially since the 1972 ban and the judicial executions of party leaders. Rejecting revenge, he said, “Through sacrifice, we seek to bring positive change to a corrupt system. We may be oppressed, but we refuse to become oppressors.”

BNP leader Shahid Uddin Chowdhury Annie has alleged that the killing of student leader Shahriar Alam Samyo was part of a larger conspiracy. He also referred to an incident where an advisor was hit with a water bottle, calling it no less serious. Annie noted that various student marches, including one from Jagannath University, have been active in Dhaka and must be engaged in dialogue. “The interim government cannot meet all demands immediately, especially after 17 years of misrule,” he said. However, he condemned the police’s violent crackdown on student protesters, stating, “This is unacceptable in any civilized society.”

BNP senior leader Nazrul Islam Khan has suggested that if political consensus is reached by June or July, there is no obstacle to holding elections by December. He said a political government is essential to resolve the nation’s social, economic, and political crises, and the interim government must act accordingly. Khan reiterated BNP’s commitment to comprehensive reform but emphasized it is a gradual process. He questioned whether delays are being orchestrated to benefit certain parties, adding that people across Bangladesh have suffered under fascism and that the current uprising is the result of BNP’s long struggle.

Bangladesh Islami Chhatra Shibir has expressed deep concern over what it calls a continuous smear campaign against the organization, urging an end to the practice of blaming Shibir without evidence or investigation. In a statement, the group claimed it has consistently promoted truth, justice, and principled politics since its inception. Shibir leaders condemned the misuse of their logo, flag, and images of past and present leaders to spread misleading and vulgar content targeting political and social figures. “A section is engaged in politically motivated disinformation about Shibir, leading some to make negative remarks based on false impressions,” the statement read. The organization emphasized that it does not believe in the politics of lies or propaganda. Referring to a recent comment by an advisor blaming Shibir without proof, the group said, “Such behavior is unbecoming of someone in a state-responsible position. If one cannot rise above personal vendettas, they should step down voluntarily.”

AB Party Chairman Mujibur Rahman Manju said, “Participating in elections is a key way for political parties to gain public recognition. But elections mean victory—there’s little space for the defeated.” He noted that competing against long-established parties is a significant challenge for new leaders seeking public trust. He urged the government to form a hearing committee to evaluate logical demands and help restore public confidence. “The administration still lacks control, and if this continues, they won’t be able to properly carry out reforms or elections,” he said, expressing growing public skepticism.
