Today, On the anniversary of the July–August mass uprising, national mourning, and victory, the student wing of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) organized a massive student rally at Shahbagh, Dhaka.
The streets were filled with the spontaneous presence of hundreds of thousands of student activists, echoing the spirit of resistance and remembrance.
An Indian man was arrested on July 27 after causing a mid-air scare aboard a flight from London to Glasgow.
The passenger, identified as 41-year-old Abhay Nayak, falsely posed as a Muslim and shouted Arabic slogans and bomb threats, forcing an emergency landing. He now faces multiple criminal charges
During this mourning period in the nation, I call upon all pro-democracy stakeholders for calm and cohesion.
We must form a society based on tolerance and restraint, and thus stop divisive confrontation or mob culture.
There are worrying reports of members of certain banned student political organisation causing agitation between the public and the police and instigating violence. These groups should restrain from taking advantage of a tragic moment in Bangladesh's history for their own gains.
Instead, our focus should be on coming together as a nation and showing empathy and unity. Let's pour our energy into helping to account for loved ones who have been lost and find those who are missing, ensure those injured receive the very best treatment possible, and allow a proper investigation by the authorities as to the root cause of the plane crash.
As our hearts go out to the innocent lives lost and the families shattered, Bangladesh must remain united and face every crisis with solidarity.
We are deeply heartbroken by the tragic aircraft crash at Milestone College. Our heartfelt prayers are with the young souls shaken by this trauma. BNP urges all leaders, activists, professionals, and well-wishers to stand in solidarity with the affected. Let us come together, as a united nation, to face this tragedy with compassion and resolve.
On 21 July 2025, Dasho Karma Hamu Dorji, Ambassador of Bhutan to Bangladesh, paid a courtesy call on BNP Chairperson and former Prime Minister Begum Khaleda Zia at her residence, Firoza, in Gulshan.
We are heartbroken by the tragic aircraft crash at Milestone College. No student should face such horror in institutions meant to facilitate their learning, growth, and well-being. My earnest prayers are with the shaken young souls, and I call upon leaders, activists, and professionals of the BNP to stand by the affected. Together, as a united nation, we must tackle this situation.
