Chief Adviser Dr. Yunus to Address the Nation at 8:20 PM on the Occasion of ‘July Uprising Day’

On the occasion of the historic ‘July Uprising Day 2025’, Interim Government’s Chief Adviser Professor Dr. Muhammad Yunus will address the nation on Tuesday (August 5) at 8:20 PM. The speech will be broadcast simultaneously on Bangladesh Television (BTV), BTV News, and Bangladesh Betar, as confirmed by the Chief Adviser’s press wing.

According to a reliable government source, the Chief Adviser’s address will highlight a summary of the interim government's activities over the past year, progress in the trial process of the ‘July Massacre’, and key aspects of the ongoing national reform agenda. He is also expected to announce a definitive date for the 2026 National Parliamentary Elections—an issue the nation has long awaited.

Earlier in the day, at 5 PM, Dr. Yunus read out the historic ‘July Declaration’ at the South Plaza of the National Parliament, where he outlined a future framework for governance, justice, and political culture in Bangladesh.

It is worth noting that this year marks the anniversary of the controversial departure of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on August 5 last year. The nation is observing this day as ‘July Uprising Day’, with widespread public enthusiasm. The infamous event—ironically remembered through her assertion “I won’t flee”—is being recalled nationwide with renewed significance.

Government sources also indicate that Dr. Yunus may shed light on ongoing investigations into conditions reportedly set by Sheikh Hasina for senior government officials prior to her departure.

At a critical juncture of national political restructuring, this speech is being seen as highly significant by various political circles and civic groups across the country.
