The Anti-Discrimination Student Movement and the National Citizens Committee have demanded that the July Uprising declaration be announced in order to officially recognize the July Uprising that toppled Sheikh Hasina's government and preserve the documents.
Arif Sohel, member secretary of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement, made this known in a written statement at a press conference on Wednesday (January 15) night.
In his written statement, he said that the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement had raised the demand to announce the July Uprising declaration to give national and international recognition to the July Uprising.
Then, on December 30, it was announced that the interim government would prepare this declaration in collaboration with all political parties. But we have not seen any visible action from it in the last 15 days, which has been strongly condemned.
Regarding the decision taken by the government, he said that the day before the January 15 ultimatum of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement ended, the government said that they would hold discussions with political parties on this issue. He called for the proclamation to include statements that capture the context of the July uprising.
He said that a delegation from the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement and the National Citizens Committee will meet the chief adviser.
The Anti-Discrimination Student Movement also called for political parties to put aside their differences and unite on the Bangladesh issue.
