Foreign Affairs Adviser Md Touhid Hossain on Tuesday said the July Mass Uprising Memorial Museum reflects Bangladeshi people’s struggle against the misrule of former PM Sheikh Hasina.

“The museum showcases the climax of the 36 days of the July uprising, but it also highlights the elements of years of misrule,” he said, adding that the true lesson of history is to ensure it is not repeated.

The foreign adviser made the remarks as foreign diplomats stationed in Dhaka visited the museum on Monday, days before its opening to the public.

Cultural Affairs Adviser Mostofa Sarwar Farooki briefed the diplomats and guided them through the museum’s key sections.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs on January 29 wrote to all diplomatic missions, UN agencies and offices of international organisations in Dhaka, inviting the diplomats to join the museum tour, a senior official at the ministry told the news agency.
