Student body wants B’desh’s ‘Mujibist’ constitution buried

The Anti-Discrimination Students Movement on Sunday announced that it would issue a belated Proclamation of July Uprising that seeks to “bury” Bangladesh’s 1972 constitution, calling it a “Mujibist” charter that had paved way for “India’s aggression.”

The interim government distanced itself from the “Proclamation” while former PM Khaleda Zia’s party said it was disappointed and added, if there is anything bad in the constitution, it can be amended.

The platform’s convener Hasnat Abdullah told a press conference here, “The Mujibist ‘72 constitution will be buried (in the new proclamation) in the very place where the one-point declaration was made during the July uprising.”
