[2] In 10 April, Tajuddin Ahmed, M Amir-ul Islam, Sheikh Fazlul Haque Mani and others boarded an old Dakota plane borrowed from the government of India and set off in search of other cabinet members scattered around the borders.

[3] After picking up cabinet members Muhammad Mansur Ali, Abdul Mannan, and Syed Nazrul Islam from various places on the way, in 11 April, the entourage arrived in Agartala, capital of the Indian state of Tripura, where many other Awami League leaders had taken refuge, including Khondaker Mostaq Ahmad and Colonel M. A. G.

[4][6] The entire cabinet returned to Kolkata in 13 April, set to take oath at some yet unoccupied place in Bangladesh.

[9] Professor Muhammad Yusuf Ali read the proclamation of independence,[9] drafted by Amir-ul Islam, an Awami League MNA-elect and barrister of the Dacca High Court, with the help of Subrata Roy Chowdhury, a barrister of the Calcutta High Court,[10] retroactively in effect from 10 April.

[12] After the independence of Bangladesh, on 31 August 1973, the third Mujib ministry decided to build a memorial at the place where the Mujibnagar government was sworn in.

[14] The complex covers an area of 20.1 acres with a 106.68 cm high altar topped by a monument with 23 triangular pillars denoting the 23-year rule of the government of Pakistan in Bangladesh.

[13] Another high altar located here contains many round shapes that symbolize the skulls of the ten million people who died in the 1971 killing of Bengali intellectuals.

The stone carvings on the platform and memorial represent the symbol of the unity of the people of East Pakistan at that time.
