DHAKA, Jan 14, 2025 (BSS) - Speakers at a discussion today underscored the need for reforming the constitution in line with the declaration of the July proclamation.
 
"Revolutions do not adhere to the constitution; history shows that every revolution has dismantled the old and built anew. We too must reformulate our constitution through the declaration of the July proclamation," Justice AFM Abdur Rahman told a discussion on the July Declaration and Constitution.

The Supreme Court wing of the Jatiya Nagorik Committee organised the event at the auditorium of Supreme Court Bar Association.

Justice AFM Abdur Rahman said once a new constitution is formulated through a constituent assembly election, it will have a legal basis. This is crucial, and there is still time to act.

Member secretary of Jatiya Nagorik Committee Akhtar Hossain said, "The history of Bangladesh must be liberated from the control of specific individual. Credit should be given to those who have genuinely fought for the country for years".

The new political settlement must ensure that no political party can act against the interests of Bangladesh, he added.

Other speakers also emphasized on holding a constituent assembly election, publishing the Declaration of July proclamation and making a list of all martyrs from the Liberation War of 1971 to July mass uprising.

Lawyer and politician Hasnat Kaiyum, Lawyer Asaduzzaman Fuad and Jatiya Nagorik Committee Joint Convener Sarwar Tushar, among others, also addressed the discussion.
