“On Thursday, we will know how it is getting done and what is there inside (contents) and when it will be declared,” said Adviser Mahfuj Alam while briefing the media at Foreign Service Academy on Tuesday evening.

Chief Adviser's Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam, Senior Assistant Press Secretary Foyez Ahammad and Assistant Press Secretary Suchismita Tithi were also present.

He hoped that a document, reflecting the background and spirit of July uprising, will be drafted based on a consensus through Thursday’s meeting and it will be clear the same day when they will issue the declaration and how the government will play a role in issuing this.

“We tried to talk to stakeholders and political parties and tried to take their opinions,” Mahfuj said.

The Adviser also said CA Dr Yunus, advisers and all stakeholders will be present when the declaration will be issued.

Earlier, the interim government initiated the process of preparing a declaration on the July uprising, based on a national consensus.

According to the Chief Adviser’s (CA) press wing, the declaration will be adopted to solidify the unity of people forged through the July uprising, reflecting its anti-fascist spirit and the demand for state reforms.

The draft will incorporate the views of all political parties and students, including those of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement that spearheaded the mass uprising.

The declaration will articulate the perspective of the July uprising, the foundation of unity and the aspirations of people, the press wing noted.

The government expressed optimism that the declaration will be prepared unanimously with participation from all stakeholders and subsequently presented to the nation.
