This stamp commemorates the Agartala Conspiracy Case, a pivotal event in the history of Bangladesh. The design features a portrait of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the central figure in the case, who would later become the nation's founding father. The imagery evokes the political turmoil and the struggle for autonomy that preceded the Bangladesh Liberation War.

The Agartala Conspiracy Case of 1968 was a sedition case filed by the government of Pakistan against Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and others, accusing them of conspiring to secede East Pakistan. The case was ultimately withdrawn due to mass protests, significantly boosting Rahman's popularity and fueling the movement for independence.
