Virtual tours of the Liberation War Museum and 1971: Genocide-Torture Archive and Museum is now possible through the MyGP app.

Grameenphone has partnered with both museums to spread the spirit of the liberation war nationwide.

An inauguration ceremony was held on Monday to promote this initiative. Eminent actor and Member of Parliament, Asaduzzaman Noor, Member of the Board of Trustees of the Liberation War Museum, led the discussion. 

Sara Zaker, Trustee and Member Secretary, Liberation War Museum; Dr. Sarwar Ali, Trustee, Liberation War Museum; Professor Muntassir Mamoon, Trustee President, 1971: Genocide- Torture Archive and Museum Trust; Lieutenant Colonel (Retd) Quazi Sazzad Ali Zahir, Bir Protik, Trustee, 1971: Genocide- Torture, Archive and Museum Trust; Mofidul Hoque, Trustee, Writer and Researcher, Liberation War Museum; Grameenphone CEO Yasir Azman; CMO Sajjad Hasib, among others were present at the event.

Leading the discussion, Asaduzzaman Noor, MP, shared, "Our liberation war is not only our pride, but also a great source of inspiration for the young generation. The war has lots of stories to tell, like that of martyred intellectual Mohammed Fazle Rabbee—the doctor who risked his life to help freedom fighters—and Shirin Banu Mitil, the valorous freedom fighter who disguised herself as a man to take part in the liberation war."

"The museum is a reality today because of the enthusiastic support from the nation. Everyone, starting from students to businessmen, has contributed. The unwavering support of our Honorable Prime Minister, Sheikh Hasina, has made establishing the museum possible. I sincerely thank Grameenphone for creating such a marvelous opportunity for the countrymen to explore the Liberation War Museum virtually. This is a commendable step," added Asaduzzaman Noor.

The history of the liberation is now available at everyone's fingertips. With 4G connectivity available nationwide, owing to relentless efforts by Grameenphone, people can now know about the history of the liberation war and the sacrifices of freedom fighters through a virtual experience—which can be accessed with just a tap on the MyGP app. The time is now to delve deeper into history and take inspiration to do our bit for the development of the country and make a difference.
