Sheikh Hasina's Ganabhaban residence to be turned into museum of her misrule: Younus

Dhaka, Oct 29 (UNI) More than two months post the ouster of ex-Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina from Bangladesh, the interim government led by Chief Advisor Mohammad Younus has said it is planning to turn her family residence, 'Ganabhaban' (People’s House) into a museum representing her “misrule”.
Accompanied by advisors from his cabinet, Younus visited Ganabhaban on Monday, and announced that turning the residence into a museum would serve as a memorial for the 15 years of the Awami-League and Sheikh Hasina’s “misrule” in the country.
The residential building was founded by her father and Bangladesh’s founder and first Prime Minister Sheikh Mujibur Rahman after the country’s independence. It was subsequently used by the country’s two military leaders President Ziaur Rahman and Hussain Mohammed Ershad as a court martial office.
