DHAKA (Reuters) - Thousands of Bangladeshis rallied at a 'March for Unity' in the capital Dhaka on Tuesday to mark the student-led uprising five months ago that led to the ouster of longstanding Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and remember the more than 1,000 killed in the violence.

The Students Against Discrimination (SAD) group that led the protests, dropped a plan to call for changes to the country's 1972 constitution at the rally, after the interim government announced on Monday that it would prepare a proclamation.
