Yunus: Path of new Bangladesh to begin from July Memorial Museum

Former chief adviser of the interim government, Professor Muhammad Yunus, on Wednesday said the July Memorial Museum is not just an establishment but the beginning of a new chapter in Bangladesh's history. 
  
"The path of a new Bangladesh will begin from here. If we lose our way, we will start from here," he said while speaking at the inauguration ceremony of July Memorial Museum in Dhaka. 
   
"If we ever lose our way in the future, the journey of a new Bangladesh will start from the museum again," he said. 
 
Prof Yunus asked the youth of the country to be the writers of this memory and come forward towards creating a new Bangladesh.
  
At the end of the program, Prof Yunus urged all present there to visit the July Memorial Museum every year.
  
Prime Minister Tarique Rahman, Liberation War Affairs Minister Ahmed Azam Khan, Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed, Cultural Affairs Minister Nitai Roy Chowdhury and the Prime Minister's Adviser on Information and Cultural Affairs Dr Zahed Ur Rahman, among others, were present on the occasion.
 
Earlier, the prime minister inaugurated the museum. Established at Ganabhaban, it has been created to preserve the authentic history of the July Mass Uprising, document the nation's resistance against autocracy, pass that legacy on to future generations and honour the sacrifices of the martyrs and the July fighters.
