Tungipara

Tungipara is an upazila of Gopalganj District within the Division of Dhaka, Bangladesh. It is the birthplace of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, considered Father of the Nation and founder of independent Bangladesh. To handover the political energy to the elected participants inside the election in 1970 the Pakistani rulers started delaying after which the father of the country Bangobandhu Sheikh Muzibur Rahman had given his historic speech on 7 March 1971 in opposition to the Pakistani rulers.

In that first-rate speech the seeds of freedom lied down which were exposed on 25 march with the announcement of independence through E P R wireless message. Tungipara became the birthplace of Bangobandhu. So humans of all classes of Tungipara paying their response to Bangobandhu started out combating in opposition to the Pakistani rulers for the independence. That time the younger brother of Bangobandhu, Sheikh Abu Naser, came to the village and began collecting younger human beings as the destiny plan of fighting against the Pakistani rulers.

He took Panna Biswas and went India. After some days Sheikh Kamal got here to the village and with the help of Kazi Mostofa, the former E P R member of Kerailkopa, and Mr. Rashed, an army soldier, organized the young human beings to participate in the liberation battle. After that all of them went to India to take necessary training for the battle. At the intervening time Major Abdur Rahman from Gimadanga began accumulating younger people at Ghonapara to make another organization of freedom fighter.
