It`s time to get back to studying: Dr Yunus

Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus yesterday called upon the students to return to their classrooms and campuses.

He said I know your studies have suffered a lot. So, now it's time to get back to studying. Schools, colleges and universities have been opened. I urge you to return to the classroom and campus. We need a well-educated and skilled generation to get the benefits of the revolution.

The chief adviser made the call in a statement delivered on the occasion of one month of the fall of Sheikh Hasina's regime in the face of a student-led mass uprising.

Today, we are celebrating the first month of Bangladesh's second independence. Hundreds of students and people of all walks of life made the supreme sacrifice for one of the most glorious revolutions in history.

They ended the 15-year dictatorship of the fascist Sheikh Hasina, who led a brutal genocide. Sheikh Hasina fled the country, leaving behind a state engulfed in corruption and a fragile economy. It is our responsibility to establish our Bangladesh in its full glory.

Today, I am remembering those brave youths, workers, day labourers, professionals who embraced death in confronting the heinous murderous fascist force. I am also remembering journalists killed during the movement. Today, I am paying deep respect to all the martyrs in this revolution.
