Students, Nagorik Committee demand July Proclamation by Jan 15
The Anti-Discrimination Student Movement and Jatiya Nagorik Committee on Tuesday issued an ultimatum to the government to announce the July Proclamation by January 15, issuing a note of warning against delays.
The ultimatum was declared during the "March for Unity" programme held at the Central Shaheed Minar in the capital.
Jatiya Nagorik Committee spokesperson Samantha Sharmin said, "No steps have been taken regarding the July proclamation, even five months after the resurgence. The government must act by January 15."
Umama Fatema, spokesperson for the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement, criticised the delay, stating, "This declaration is a historical responsibility. We will not tolerate further postponements. The road has become the people solution, and we urge the government to negotiate. If not, the people will act."
Fatema reiterated demands for justice and accountability, emphasising, "No elections before the Awami League faces trial. Justice for martyrs and the injured must be guaranteed."
She affirmed that the movement would not falter, declaring, "July is not dead."
