Following a visit to martyr families in Chattogram, Convener Nahid Islam said the government is expected to issue a formal declaration by August 5, which would give legal recognition to the uprising if incorporated into the Constitution. He acknowledged delays in delivering on-ground support and announced a major public rally in Dhaka on August 3.
