Mujibnagar is historically a very important place as the place of taking oath of the first provisional government of Bangladesh. A memorial has been erected at the site of the swearing-in to commemorate the swearing-in.In order to make this historically important place more significant, a map has been shown in the complex to show the different sectors of the Liberation War. This complex has a mural commemorating the events of the Liberation War. Overall, the Mujibnagar Memorial, the Liberation War Memorial Complex, the historic Amrakanan, the six-step rose garden representing the historical six-point metaphor deserves to be considered as a living display of the liberation war in Bangladesh.

The Mujibnagar Monument Complex is a moving tribute to Bangladesh's liberation struggle, with striking architecture and serene surroundings. It's a must-visit for those interested in the nation's history.

To me its a good place to go, knew some history of the liberation war, I believe its good for the childrens to learn. Stay night in the Parhatan Motel within the complex, it was reasonable.

It is a historical place. The seeds of Bangladesh's liberation war were sown from here. The first government of Bangladesh was established at this place.

The first official government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh, popularly known as the Mujibnagar Government, was formed on April 10, 1971. The newly formed government took oath on 17th April, 1971 in the then Meherpur district. The venue of the oath was a mango forest in Baidyantala which was renamed by the provisional government....

Mujibnagar Monument signifies the memory of the formation of he first ever government of Bangladesh during the Liberation War of Bangladesh. It has been named after the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.

The main complex has a huge map of Bangladesh displaying significant events around the country during the nine months of Liberation War in 1971. Tourists can take pictures there and can visit there to know about our country. The surroundind environment is beautiful too.

If you go a little ahead from the comolex, you’ll get to see the Mujibnagar Monument. Its very beautiful and since we went there during the sunset, the environment was just perfect. There was a guide there who casted in several historical films. He provided us the significances of the historic monument.

Let me explain a bit for the sake of foreign tourists. The monument is in the shape of a rising sun having 23 rays getting bigger in size from right to left. The rays signifies 23 years of atrocities the Banhladeshi people has faced from 1947 till 1971. The size of the rays indicates the importance of each movements occured in each year. The red rectangular surface is the place where the Mujibnagar Government, the first ever government of Bangladesh was formed. The pebbles signifies the number of people who accepted sacrifices during the war. As a whole, the Mujibnagar Memorial is built totally on the history of our country.

There is a 200 years old tree on a side of the monument too. I really liked the monument and recommend others to viait there too.

Good place. Describes what it was like when the war of 1971 was like .

Wonderful location. Historical place associated with the independence of Bangladesh. A must visit place for all Bangladeshi citizen.

It's a historical place. In 1971, the first Bangladesh government took oath here.

During the liberation war, the leaders of the Mujibnagar government would give guidance to the people of the country. The provisional president and the Prime Minister would keep the whole country motivated through their speeches over the radio. Simultaneously, they took many diplomatic initiatives to mobilize public opinion in favor of the Mujibnagar government

The first official government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh, popularly known as the Mujibnagar Government, was formed on April 10, 1971. The newly formed government took oath on 17th April, 1971 in the then Meherpur district. The venue of the oath was a mango forest in Baidyantala which was renamed by the provisional government.

Earlier, several provisional governments were formed in different countries around the world to fight for independence. For example, during the Second World War, an independent French government was formed that was led by Charles the Gaulle. The headquarters of the independent Cambodian government, led by Prince Norodom Sihanouk was in Beijing. The headquarters of Afghanistan's Mojahideen government was in Peshawar, Pakistan. But the "Mujibnagar Government" was quite different from these governments.

In the 1970's election, Awami league received the majority mandate, but instead of handing over the power to the newly elected members, West Pakistani government cracked down on the innocent Bengalis. On the night of 25th March, 1971, Pakistani military conducted a cowardly attack on the innocent sleeping people. They executed mass killing operations at different places in Dhaka including Pilkhana, Rajarbag Police Line, EPR, and Dhaka University campus. Early on March 26, Pakistani Military arrested Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and took him to West Pakistan. But before being arrested, he sent a message over wireless declaring the independence of Bangladesh. Thus, the arrest of Bangabndhu accelerated our libration war.

A review of the history shows that, from 26th March to 16th December, the dynamic role played by Tajuddin Ahmed, a co-fighter of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was really commendable. The greatest achievement of Tajuddin Ahmed's life was to lead the liberation war in the absence of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. Especially, in the formation of "Mujibnagar Government", Tajuddin Ahmed played a significant role.

On 1st April, 1971, he and Barrister Amirul Islam went to India and on 3rd April, he met the then Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. He explained the overall situation that was prevailing in Bangladesh. He also informed her that in Bangladesh, the freedom struggle had already started and the people of Bangladesh were very much determined to continue their struggle until final victory was achieved. He sought all sorts of support from her government. Indira Gandhi expressed her commitment to stand beside the people of Bangladesh.

Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was declared the president of the new government. Syed Nazrul Islam was given the charge of Vice-President and Tajuddin Ahmed was made the Prime Minister of that government. Syed Nazrul islam, the Vice President hoisted the National flag in absence of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. Professor Md. Yusuf Ali read out the announcement of independent Bangladesh at the oath taking ceremony.

Some local singers sang the National Anthem "Amar sonar Bangla, ami tomay valobashi". The oath taking program was witnessed by a 10,000 strong crowd which included contingents of the EPR, Ansar and Freedom fighters. A press statement was issued after the inauguration of the government, where Tajuddin Ahmed said, "Bangladesh is at war. It has been given no choice but to secure its rights of self-determination through a national liberation struggle against the colonial oppression of West Pakistan. In the face of positive attempts by the government to distort the facts in a desperate attempt to cover up their war of genocide in Bangladesh, the world must be told the circumstances under which the peace-loving people of Bangladesh were driven to substi
