Amid daylong discussion on the matter, chief adviser’s press secretary Shafiqul Alam addressed an emergency media briefing in front of the State Guest House Jamuna around 9:30 pm Monday.
He said that the interim government has taken an initiative to prepare a proclamation of the July mass uprising on the basis of national consensus.
Later, welcoming the interim government’s decision, the leaders of Students Against Discrimination around 1:45 am on Tuesday announced to organise “March for Unity” in support of the “Proclamation of July Revolution”. The March will be held from 3:00 pm at the Central Shaheed Minar, they said.
BNP standing committee member Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury thinks whether it is the constitution or something else, the decision should be made in a democratic way.
He told Prothom Alo, “People sacrificed their lives in the liberation war, mass uprising against Ershad, and against Sheikh Hasina in the last 15-16 years alongside many were made victims of enforced disappearance. All of this happened for the sake of democracy, and to have their human rights and civic rights.”
“That is why any decision has to be taken through an elected government and parliament. No group, party or quarter outside of this has anything to do,” he stressed.
