Mujibnagar (Template:Lang-bn), formerly known as Baidyanathtala (Badhayanathtola) and Bhaberpara, is a town in the Meherpur District of Bangladesh. It is a common reference for the Provisional Government of Bangladesh formed by the leaders of the Awami League, who were leading the guerrilla war for the independence of Bangladesh (then East Pakistan) from Pakistan in 1971. The actual capital of the government while in exile was Calcutta.
Throughout the war with the Pakistan Army, the Mujibnagar government would serve as the nominal head of the pro-independence guerrilla militias, mainly the Mukti Bahini. Although the state gained independence that was recognized by other countries only in December 1971, the Mujibnagar government is recognised as the first official government of Bangladesh. Because Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the President, was detained in Pakistan throughout the war, the Vice President Syed Nazrul Islam performed the role of Acting President for the ceremony.
