Dhaka, Dec 29 (V7N)— The Anti-Discrimination Student Movement has announced plans to release the "July Revolution Manifesto" at the Central Shaheed Minar on Tuesday, December 31. The announcement was made during a press conference on Sunday, where key leaders of the movement outlined the significance of the manifesto and its goals.

Sarjis Alam, a leader of the movement, stated, “We have only completed one phase of the revolution. Over the past 16 years, the people of this country have faced countless injustices and oppressions. This manifesto will document their hopes and aspirations, nullifying the previous system. It has been amended with input from various political parties to reflect the will of the people.”

Abdul Hannan Masud, the primary organizer of the movement, highlighted the impact of earlier protests, including the 2018 quota and road safety movements, which he claimed undermined the fears of Sheikh Hasina's government. He remarked, “The revolution of 2024 will not face the same defeat as 1971. This time, the people's will must prevail.”

Hasnat Abdullah, another prominent figure in the movement, criticized the legitimacy of the current system and called for a legal document to validate the July Revolution. He said, “The conspirators abroad are questioning the legality of the coup. This declaration will reflect the hopes of the masses and render the Mujibist spirit and the 1972 constitution irrelevant.”

The manifesto, described as a declaration of the people's aspirations, is expected to challenge the status quo and signal a significant political shift. The movement has emphasized that the manifesto is not tied to any political party but aims to represent the collective will of the nation.

The upcoming release of the manifesto marks a critical moment in the ongoing political discourse in Bangladesh, with implications for the country’s future governance and ideological direction.
