Weeks of protests led by the students’ movement over a controversial quota system in government jobs had escalated into a nationwide campaign calling for the end of the 16-year regime of Sheikh Hasina, 77, resulting in her ouster on August 5.

Bangladesh students’ movement wants ‘Mujibist’ constitution buried

Weeks of protests led by the students&rsquo; movement over a controversial quota system in government jobs had escalated into a nationwide campaign calling for the end of the 16-year regime of Sheikh Hasina, 77, resulting in her ouster on August 5.

The Anti-Discrimination Students Movement on Sunday announced to issue a belated Proclamation of July Uprising that seeks to &ldquo;bury&rdquo; Bangladesh&rsquo;s 1972 constitution calling it a &ldquo;Mujibist&rdquo; charter that had paved the way for &ldquo;India&rsquo;s aggression.&rdquo;
The interim government of Muhammad Yunus visibly distanced itself from the &ldquo;Proclamation&rdquo; while former prime minister Khaleda Zia&rsquo;s party said it was disappointed and added, that if there is anything bad in the Constitution, it can be amended.
The platform&rsquo;s convener Hasnat Abdullah told a press conference here, &ldquo;The Mujibist &rsquo;72 constitution will be buried (in the new proclamation) in the very place where the one-point declaration was made during the July uprising.&rdquo;
He said the Proclamation would be made at Central Shaheed Minar premises on December 31 in the afternoon.
Weeks of protests led by the students&rsquo; movement over a controversial quota system in government jobs had escalated into a nationwide campaign calling for the end of the 16-year regime of Sheikh Hasina, 77, resulting in her ouster on August 5.
&ldquo;The Indian aggression was initiated through the principles of the 1972 Constitution (and) the proclamation will make it clear how the Mujibist Constitution destroyed the aspirations of the people and exactly how we want to replace it,&rdquo; Abdullah said.
The Constitution was framed a year after independent Bangladesh was born by the representatives elected in the 1970 election in line with their mandate as &ldquo;constitute assembly&rdquo; members.
Awami League, under Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, had gained an absolute majority, with the party winning 160 of the 162 general seats and all seven women&rsquo;s seats in what was then East Pakistan.
But Pakistan&rsquo;s then military under General Yahya Khan eventually launched a sudden army crackdown leading to the Liberation War of 1971 and the birth of independent Bangladesh.
Sunday&rsquo;s press conference was told the students&rsquo; platform along with the National Citizens&rsquo; Committee will present the Proclamation, which is expected to declare &ldquo;irrelevant&rdquo; the deposed prime minister&rsquo;s &ldquo;Nazi-like Awami League&rdquo; in Bangladesh as well.
Anti-Discrimination Students Movement leader and chief organiser of the National Citizens&rsquo; Committee Sarjis Alam told the press conference that the &ldquo;July uprising proclamation should have been declared earlier.&rdquo;
&ldquo;Just as we believe all anti-fascists embraced our revolution, this proclamation will also contain everyone&rsquo;s hopes and aspirations. &hellip; We have crossed only one stage of the revolution,&rdquo; Alam said.
The students&rsquo; platform and different political groups, including former prime minister Khaleda Zia&rsquo;s Bangladesh Nationalists Party (BNP), often dub Hasina&rsquo;s ousted regime as &ldquo;fascist.&rdquo;
Visibly distancing itself from the &ldquo;Proclamation,&rdquo; the interim government of Muhammad Yunus said it had nothing to do with it. Yunus&rsquo; press secretary Shafiqul Alam said, &ldquo;The government has nothing to do with it&rdquo; and wants to see it (Proclamation) as a &ldquo;private initiative.&rdquo;
Awami League, Hasina&rsquo;s party, has not been seen in the public sphere since August 5 as many of its leaders have been arrested or are on the run at home and abroad. Their activities are limited to social media platforms occasionally.
The BNP sharply reacted to the proposal with its highest policymaking standing committee member Mirza Abbas saying the constitution was written in 1972 at the cost of the blood of three million martyrs.
&ldquo;As your seniors, we feel disappointed when you (Student Movement leaders) say the Constitution should be buried. If there is anything bad in the constitution, it can be amended,&rdquo; he told reporters.
&ldquo;When you (student leaders) say things like this, it sounds &lsquo;fascist&rsquo; as fascists used to say, &lsquo;we will bury them, kill them, and cut them off&rsquo;,&rdquo; Abbas said.

Mujibur’s ‘Joy Bangla’ no longer national slogan in Bangladesh

Rahman&rsquo;s daughter Sheikh Hasina was ousted as prime minister on August 5. Recently, the country&rsquo;s central bank decided to remove Rahman&rsquo;s image from currency notes.

Bangladesh Supreme Court has stayed a High Court verdict that declared &lsquo;Joy Bangla&rsquo; &mdash; popularised by Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman &mdash; as the country&rsquo;s national slogan.
Rahman&rsquo;s daughter Sheikh Hasina was ousted as prime minister on August 5. Recently, the country&rsquo;s central bank decided to remove Rahman&rsquo;s image from currency notes.
Following the change of government, the state moved to suspend the High Court&rsquo;s ruling and on December 2 filed the leave to appeal petition with the SC seeking a stay on the High Court verdict of March 10, 2020.
A four-member bench of the Appellate Division headed by Chief Justice Syed Refaat Ahmed on Tuesday passed the order on the ground that the national slogan is a matter of the government&rsquo;s policy decision and the judiciary cannot interfere in this issue.
The full bench of the Appellate Division headed by Chief Justice Syed Refaat Ahmed passed the order following a leave to appeal petition filed by the government challenging the High Court judgement, the newspaper Daily Star said on Wednesday.
&ldquo;&rsquo;Joy Bangla&rsquo; will not be considered as the national slogan following this Appellate Division order,&rdquo; said Additional Attorney General Aneek R Haque, who appeared for the government during the hearing.
After ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina fled the country following a students&rsquo; protest on August 5, an interim government headed by Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus took over on August 8.
Following the change of government, the state moved to suspend the High Court&rsquo;s ruling and on December 2 filed the leave to appeal petition with the SC seeking a stay on the High Court verdict of March 10, 2020.
It declared &lsquo;Joy Bangla&rsquo; as the country&rsquo;s national slogan and ordered the government to take necessary steps so that the slogan is used at all state functions and academic institutions&rsquo; assemblies.
Later, on February 20, 2022, the cabinet led by Hasina issued a notice recognising it as the national slogan and the Awami League government issued a gazette notification on March 2, 2022, news portal RisingBD.com said.
On December 1 this year, the apex court upheld another High Court verdict that justified August 15 as the national mourning day and public holiday.
Earlier on August 13, the advisory council of the interim government decided that there would be no national holiday on August 15.
Media reports said last week that Bangladesh Bank is printing new notes, including in the features of the July uprising, referring to the student-led protests that forced Hasina to flee to India on August 5, and not include the image of &lsquo;Bangabandhu&rsquo; Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.&nbsp;

Calling Hasina's ouster Bangladesh's “second liberation day,” Yunus has accepted the tall task of leading the country out of political turmoil. 

Calling Hasina's ouster Bangladesh's &ldquo;second liberation day,&rdquo; Yunus has accepted the tall task of leading the country out of political turmoil.&nbsp;

Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus, popularly known as &ldquo;banker to the poor,&rdquo; has been chosen to lead a military-backed interim government in Bangladesh. Student protesters, who forced former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to resign and flee the country, have rallied behind her long-time critic.
In 1971, he was teaching economics in the US, and was part of international efforts to support the liberation war. He returned to an independent Bangladesh in 1972.&nbsp;
Yunus founded the Grameen Bank in 1983, which provided microcredit to poor people, especially village women, helping them start small businesses and educate their children. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006 for helping lift millions out of poverty.&nbsp;
Hasina started targeting Yunus, after he briefly proposed forming a political party in 2007. The Awami League government launched a series of investigations against Yunus and the Grameen Bank in 2008 -- they were accused of using force to recover loans from the poor.&nbsp;
Last year, he was convicted of violating labour laws, a verdict that has now been overturned.
Calling Hasina's ouster Bangladesh's &ldquo;second liberation day,&rdquo; Yunus has accepted the tall task of leading the country out of political turmoil. Political experts worldwide have named him the man of the hour, chosen by the student movement.
