Zulkarnain Saer Questions Removal of Felani's Memorial from July Museum, Urges Probe

Investigative journalist Zulkarnain Saer Sami has raised serious concerns over the dismantling of the border-killing documentation section—including symbols of Felani Khatun trapped in barbed wire—from the July Museum, calling on the Prime Minister's Office to launch an immediate, thorough investigation.

In a post shared on his verified social media account on Sunday, August 9, Zulkarnain questioned the rationale of erasing historical grievances under the pretext of preserving diplomatic relations with neighboring countries.

"Have we stopped telling the history of the Liberation War to maintain diplomatic relations with Pakistan?" Zulkarnain wrote. "Or is India not talking about its freedom struggle against Britain despite having diplomatic relations? Or has the raw memory of the US atomic bombing in Hiroshima, Japan, not been preserved under the pretext of diplomatic ties?"

Pointing to historical documentation, he questioned why the border-killing section containing photographic and documentary proof had been completely removed. He noted that memoirs of former Indian President Pranab Mukherjee openly discuss political developments following the 1/11 political transition and point toward the engineered nature of the 2008 national election—elements historically relevant to the political trajectory of the ruling Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP).

Highlighting that the home minister himself had previously inspected the ongoing work at the July Museum alongside the former chief adviser, Zulkarnain directed his appeal directly to the highest tiers of government.

"Prime Minister's Office—Tarique Rahman, you should very carefully examine who did this work," Zulkarnain stated. "Whoever has done this, their motive is sinister."

He further warned that individuals who served as architects of past authoritarian regimes, or those who have allegedly spent the last 16 to 17 years infiltrating and sabotaging the BNP under party guises, may still be operational and watching for an opportunity to undermine the administration.
