B'desh interim govt to announce 'proclamation of July uprising'

Distances itself from proposed declaration with identical title by Anti-Discrimination Students Movement that led to the ouster of then prime minister Sheikh Hasina

The interim government in Bangladesh has announced that it will prepare a "proclamation of July uprising", a day after it distanced itself from a proposed declaration with an identical title by the Anti-Discrimination Students Movement that led to the ouster of then-prime minister Sheikh Hasina four months ago.

"We hope within few days the proclamation will be prepared with the participation and consensus of all and presented before the nation," Shafiqul Alam, Press Secretary to the chief adviser of the interim government of Bangladesh, Muhammad Yunus, said in a midnight press conference on Monday.
