Mujibnagar Day
Mujibnagar Day

On 17 April 1971 the oath-taking of Bangladesh's first provisional government was held in the historic mango grove of Baidyanathtala village of Bagoan union of Meherpur Sadar thana. And it is for this very reason that Mujibnagar Day is observed on this day.

At the said oath-taking ceremony of the Mujibnagar government, eminent journalists from home and abroad were present and publicized the formation of the government of independent Bangladesh throughout the world. This historic event breathed new life into Bangladesh's Liberation War and gave legal validity to the Government of Bangladesh.

As the place of the oath-taking of Bangladesh's first provisional government, Mujibnagar is a place of very great historic importance. With the aim of keeping the memory of the oath-taking unfading, a memorial has been built at the site of the oath-taking.

With the aim of making this historically important place even more significant, various sectors of the Liberation War are shown on a map in that complex. Murals commemorating the events of the Liberation War have been installed in this complex. Taken as a whole, the Mujibnagar memorial, the Liberation War memorial complex, the historic mango grove and the six-tier rose garden presenting the image of the historic Six Points deserve to be regarded as a living display of Bangladesh's Liberation War.

In the inner part of the Liberation War Memorial Complex, sculptures of some historic events of the Liberation War era have been installed. In the outer part of the memorial complex, sculptures of Bangabandhu's historic 7 March speech, the oath-taking of the Mujibnagar government, the surrender of the Pakistani forces, and of other historic events have been installed. These sculptures imbued with the memories of the Liberation War will attract any discerning tourist. Displaying the positions of the various sectors of the Liberation War on a map of Bangladesh, that map has been installed in the main courtyard inside the Liberation War Memorial Complex. This beautiful map is a documentary illustration of the positions of the various sectors during the Liberation War and the notable events related to them.
