The sculpture ‘Muktir Dak’ is one of the prominent three global finger sculptures from the perspective of its height and this one is the largest one featuring only a finger ‘Tarjani’ or index finger, claimed Auli Mahmud, the sculptor.
Auli Mahmud, the creator of the sculpture, said he started working in making the sculpture 13 months earlier from now and it is very near to completion in the year of Bangabandhu’s birth centenary.

“I hope my sculpture will reflect the glorious war of liberation of Bangladesh in 1971 and it will stun the pedestrians for the moment to recall the Seventh March’s historic speech,” said the sculptor Auli Mahmud.
The ‘Muktir Dak’ represents the pride of Bengali nation and moreover, it’s the symbol of the movement against injustice, a fight and the freedom of the nation, he said adding that the finger of Bangabandhu energizes all the Bengalis.
Auli Mahmud has depicted the whole sculpture through terracotta featuring the language movement, movement of 1969, the six-point demand, and the glorious war for freedom against injustice.
He has used modern optical fiber, white cement, stones in building the sculpture at the Saheprotap intersection of the town.

The main entrepreneur of the sculpture, Narsingndi Municipality Mayor and town Awami League President Kamruzzaman Kamrul, said “Bangabandhu has brought us the freedom by a single call through his ‘Tarjani’ and Bengali people love him more than anything.”
The ‘Muktir Dak’ of Bangabandhu represents the pride of the Bengali nation. Still today, the index finger of the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman provides energy to the new generation, he added.
