East Pakistan Communist Party (Marxist–Leninist) was a communist party in the erstwhile East Pakistan. The party emerged in 1966, after a split in the Communist Party of East Pakistan. Sukhendu Dastidar became the general secretary of EPCP(M-L).[1]

Bangladesh Liberation War and aftermath

During the Bangladesh Liberation War, Mohammad Toaha organised an armed guerrilla force composed of members of the Purbo Banglar Communist Party and operated a liberated zone in western Noakhali, thereby actively supporting the independence struggle.[2] Abdul Haque, in contrast, adhered to a pacifist position and did not participate in the armed conflict.[3] After the war two separate EPCP(M-L)s were formed, one led by Toaha’s EPCP(M-L) which evolved into the Communist Party of Bangladesh (Marxist–Leninist) and the other led by Haque.[4] Toaha’s party denounced Charu Majumdar’s ideology of class annihilation.[5]

In 1978 Haque’s party took the name Revolutionary Communist Party of Bangladesh (Marxist-Leninist).[3]
