Chief Adviser Dr. Muhammad Yunus visited Ganabhaban with the aim of creating a museum for the July-August mass uprising. He also gave instructions to quickly convert this Ganabhaban into a museum.
The Chief Adviser made this visit on Monday (August 28) afternoon. At this time, Adilur Rahman Khan, Nahid Islam and Asif Mahmud of the advisory council were present with him. In addition, Mahfuz Alam, special assistant to the Chief Adviser, was also present with them.
During the visit, he said that the dictator Sheikh Hasina lived in this Ganabhaban for 15 years. With the fall on August 5, this building has now been transformed into a symbol of her autocracy.
He also ordered the installation of a replica of the Mirror House (Aina Ghar) in this Ganabhaban to make the people understand how brutally the prisoners of the Mirror House were tortured.
Post and Telecommunications Adviser Nahid Islam said that the misdeeds of Hasina's rule, which started in 2009, will be carefully preserved in the museum.
He also said that discussions will be held with experts from other countries on how to make the revolution and rebellion memorable.
It is worth noting that Sheikh Hasina was forced to leave the country on August 5 after the students' movement against discrimination announced its first phase. After that, thousands of people entered Gonobhaban. The revolutionary students and people expressed their anger against Sheikh Hasina on the walls of Gonobhaban. In order to preserve all this anger, the interim government has taken the initiative to build this Gonobhaban as a museum in the July-August mass uprising.
