CA Yunus with political leaders visits July Mass Uprising Memorial Museum

This news article reports on Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus's visit to the July Mass Uprising Memorial Museum at Ganabhaban, Dhaka on January 20, 2026, where he reviewed the museum's final-stage construction alongside political leaders from BNP, Jamaat-e-Islami, and the National Citizens Party, as well as several government advisers. The museum documents the July Mass Uprising, state repression, enforced disappearances, and 16 years of governance under ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, preserving photographs, martyrs' belongings, documents, and audio-visual materials. During the visit, Yunus watched a documentary on state atrocities and praised the courage of unarmed citizens who resisted the regime. Yunus emphasized the museum's importance as an educational resource, urging citizens and students to visit, while Culture Adviser Farooki noted the museum was built remarkably quickly — largely by volunteers working without pay — and would be opened to the public before the upcoming election.
