The significance of Mujibnagar Day
The day, April 17, bears a great significance on our national life. The first expatriate government of Bangladesh was formed on April 10, 1971 and the independent Bangladesh government took oath at Mujibnagar in Meherpur and declared Bangladesh as an independent state on April 17. Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was appointed as the president of this government. But he was imprisoned in Pakistan at that time. In his absence, Vice-President Syed Nazrul Islam acted as the interim president while Tajuddin Ahmad took charges as the prime minister.
