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.”

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
