Dhaka, Sept 05 (UNB) - Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus on Thursday called upon the students to return to their classrooms and campuses as a well-educated and competent generation is required to reap the benefits of the revolution.
 
"Now it's time to go back to study. Schools, colleges and universities have been opened. I urge you to return to the classrooms and campuses. Because, we need a well-educated and skilled generation to take home the benefits of the revolution," he said.
 
The Chief Adviser made the call in a statement delivered on the occasion of one month of the fall of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's regime in the face of a student-led mass uprising.
 
"Today (Thursday) we are celebrating the first month of Bangladesh's second independence. Hundreds of students and people from all walks of life made the supreme sacrifice for one of the most glorious revolutions in history," he said.
 
Pointing at the students, he said during the revolution, they had to leave study and pass sleepless nights worrying about their friends, and take to streets in daytime to resist the brutal regime, telling each other goodbye forever.
 
Prof Yunus said the students guarded the religious minority communities and their places of worship as well as took the responsibility of managing traffic across the country after the revolution ended. "I know your study witnessed a huge disruption," he added.
 
Noting that Sheikh Hasina fled the country leaving behind a corrupt state and a fragile economy, he said, "We've taken the responsibility to establish our Bangladesh in its full glory."
