A headline from the suppose-owned news company Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha (BSS) reads: “Dedication to enlighten Ganobhaban into the ‘July Uprising Memorial Museum’.”
Fixed with the document, the period in-between govt has decided to enlighten Ganobhaban, the legit feature of the highest minister of Bangladesh, into the July Uprising Memorial Museum.
The resolution change into made on Thursday (5 September), at a assembly of the advisory council of the period in-between govt presided over by Chief Adviser Professor Dr Muhammad Yunus at his office in Tejgaon.
Later within the evening, Childhood and Sports activities Consultant Asif Mahmud Sajib Bhuiyan announced the resolution of the advisory council on the Foreign Carrier Academy within the capital.
He acknowledged that Ganobhaban would be opened to the final public and transformed into the July Uprising Memorial Museum to preserve the recollections of the martyrs and commemorate the injustices dedicated at some stage in “the old fascist regime”.
The adviser talked about that the activities to transform Ganobhaban into a museum will originate up rapidly. The constructing will doubtless be preserved in its present suppose as left by the people, with a museum inner to preserve the recollections of the uprising.
Additionally, he talked about plans to place a basis in memory of the martyrs. He also indicated that the manager adviser and the advisory council would rapidly meet with the families of the martyrs.
Even though the assignment of forming the basis might perchance well make the effort, it might perchance truly were beneficial, sing, if the manager adviser might perchance well meet the families of the martyrs earlier than his speech on the UN Long-established Assembly.
We are able to never carry reduction the kids misplaced by their dad and mother. No compensation can ever completely compensate the families, particularly the oldsters, siblings, and adolescents of the martyrs.
Nonetheless, by the form of assembly, we are going to no longer lower than particular our gratitude to them formally and as a national tribute.
Disaster is within the spoil personal, but we are going to give formal recognition to their sacrifice within the glory of the collective. We are able to remind them over one more time that the martyrs are on the top of that glory. The peril might perchance well no longer subside, but the oldsters and adolescents will know that the increased steady for which they made the last sacrifice has no longer been forgotten.
Similarly, it’d be beneficial if the manager adviser attended a representatives’ convention of the college students who organised the dash in July. He might perchance well snoop on representatives from diverse public and deepest universities and colleges. The govt.might perchance well also present the roadmap for the reforms it has been planning. The chief adviser might perchance well give an advisory and directive speech to the college students, explaining how the period in-between govt plans to bag interaction the early life in constructive activities.
Furthermore, the manager adviser ought to still wait on a convention with representatives from diverse courses and professions who joined the July dash, turning it into a student-people uprising. Their role within the dash change into no longer insignificant. They’d other aspirations alongside the single query. The period in-between govt ought to still clearly realize these aspirations, too.
Let us undergo in thoughts nowadays. When college students were being killed one after one more, very few stood by them firstly attach or had the braveness to attain so. Nonetheless, these that did stand by them to begin with change into the spark that ignited the torch. Representatives of the civil society were there, as were lecturers, lawyers, scientific doctors, engineers, retired defense force officers, journalists, painters, artists, actors, day labourers, and rickshaw pullers. They stood in opposition to the tide of their respective professions, collaborating within the coed dash, which at last grew to turn into into a mass uprising.
They attain no longer need any other recognition, but their voices ought to be heard. A huge convention might perchance well moreover be organised for this cause. The chief adviser can snoop on them, and it’s crucial to listen to their aspirations to manufacture the inclusive society that the period in-between govt has been speaking about.
Presumably the Yunus-led govt will undertake this. Nonetheless, the proposal about turning Ganobhaban into a museum requires additional discussion.
Bengalis are a forgetful nation. We are able to peep evidence of this within the methodology we bag got grew to turn into the huge Liberation War of 1971 and its customary spirit into mere commodities. We fought a battle to invent independence. The core principles of independence were equality, human dignity, and social justice. Nonetheless after the battle, we abandoned these principles. Later, some feeble the Liberation War to place kleptocracy and democracy without real democratic principles. Others sought to insist the Liberation War altogether. On this methodology, every facet disrespected the martyrs.
The the same came about with the coed-led mass uprising of 1990. After sacrificing hundreds of lives, we started a new scuttle in direction of democracy. Nonetheless rapidly after, we veered in direction of autocracy, which at last took the originate of quasi one-fetch collectively rule. We don’t bag any well-known memorials for that uprising, steady as we had no recognition or implementation of its aspirations.
Memorials are crucial, but the realisation of these aspirations is even more crucial. It will doubtless be supreme if each might perchance well occur collectively. Therefore, we desire to add something to the proposal to enlighten Ganobhaban into the memorial museum for the July dash.
Simply attach, Ganobhaban ought to still concurrently reduction as a museum and the legit feature of the elected head of the government. We hope that an election will occur below this period in-between govt after a ‘logical time,’ to be particular reforms. The elected head of govt will dwell in Ganobhaban, one allotment of which might perchance even feature as a memorial museum. The front allotment will reduction as a museum, and the support allotment the feature of the highest of govt.
All the way in which by the renovation, the present suppose of Ganobhaban needs to be preserved. As an instance, the sections of the boundary walls broken by the people needs to be repaired but dwell shadowy on the broken parts. The sudden patches of shadowy amidst the spruce rows of neatly laid bricks will reduction as an affidavit to why these sections are shadowy. The walls might perchance well be adorned with photos of the martyrs of the dash and a few iconic graffiti.
At any time when the elected head of govt passes by the boundary walls or the museum, s/he’ll many occasions peep the shadowy patches, the faces of the martyrs, and the graffiti. This might perchance occasionally be a reminder that forgetting these people can bag excessive penalties. If the museum and the feature are facet by facet, s/he’ll continuously peep the apt vitality of the people every morning and evening.
