Bangladesh interim govt plans to convert former PM Sheikh Hasina's palace to revolution museum
Bangladesh interim government chief Muhammad Yunus has directed authorities to convert ousted former PM Sheikh Hasina's palace into a museum to mark the July-August uprising that led to the fall of the Awami League government.
He gave the instruction while visiting the former residence of Hasina.
"The museum should preserve the memories of her misrule and the anger people expressed when they ousted her from power," Yunus was quoted as saying by The Daily Star.
Following a student-led uprising, PM Sheikh Hasina fled to neighbouring India on August 5, abruptly ending her tenure just months after she won the general polls in January.
On the day Sheikh Hasina escaped to India, hundreds of protesters barged into Gano Bhaban to express their anger against her regime.
The chief adviser was quoted as saying by the newspaper that a replica of the "Aynaghar" where Hasina's notorious security agencies secretly detained hundreds of dissidents and opposition activists should also be built at the museum at the Gono Bhaban.
The "Aaynaghar" should remind visitors of the torture inflicted on the secret prisoners, the Nobel laureate said.
Bangladesh witnessed widespread chaos for two days since the fall of Hasina-led government amid widespread protests against her rule.
Yunus took charge of the interim government just days after Hasina fled to India.
