Honorable President Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir personally visited the newly constructed ‘July Mass Uprising Memorial Museum’ located at the former Ganabhaban complex in the capital. Accompanying him during the inspection of historical documents, personal artifacts, and photographs of the martyrs was First Lady Rahat Ara Begum.
An emotional atmosphere prevailed as the President toured the museum’s galleries and exhibition halls. Visibly moved during the latter part of the visit, the Head of State remarked with tears in his eyes, “We have been liberated from the fascists, we have reclaimed our democracy, but we paid an immensely heavy price. The state can never repay the debt owed to these martyrs and injured July warriors. May such a tragic and brutal massacre never recur in this country.” Following the tour, the President signed the official visitors’ book, offering prayers for the departed souls of the martyrs and wishing a swift recovery for all injured fighters.
Accompanying the President during this high-level state visit were Minister of Cultural Affairs Nitai Roy Chowdhury, State Minister for Cultural Affairs Ali Newaz Mahmud Khaiyam, Prime Minister’s Policy and Strategy Adviser Dr. Zahed Ur Rahman, the Secretary of the Ministry of Cultural Affairs, and the Director General of the July Mass Uprising Memorial Museum, along with senior officials from the President’s Office and the Ministry of Cultural Affairs.
