Bangladesh Unveils Historic 'July Declaration'

The Bangladesh interim government under Muhammad Yunus is set to announce the 'July Declaration' on August 5, marking the anniversary of the previous government's ousting.

Originating in student protests last year, the declaration aims to formally recognize the movement that played a significant role in toppling Sheikh Hasina's regime, as well as to foster national unity around modern democratic values.

However, the proposal has stirred political controversy, with key opposition figures arguing it undermines parliamentary procedures and threatens constitutional integrity.
