    The six points movement proposed greater autonomy for East Pakistan and addressed the political and economic inequality it faced within Pakistan. Sheikh Mujibur Rahman presented the six points in 1966, demanding a federal parliamentary system, provincial control over resources and taxes, a dual currency system, and provincial militias. The six points were a response to East Pakistan being disadvantaged despite comprising the majority of Pakistan's population, and helped lay the foundation for the Bangladesh liberation war.

    Introduction :
    The historical six points were proposed by Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. The demand
    for 6-point autonomy represents a deep and evident manifestation of the movement and
    struggle against the Pakistani state's hard discriminatory behavior and inattention towards the
    people of East Bengal. Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the general secretary of the
    Awami League, attended a gathering of opposition parties on February 5 and 6, 1966, in
    Lahore. He called a news conference and made six demands there to defend the rights of the
    East Pakistani people.1

    Background :
    In 1966, East Pakistani opposition leaders demanded a national conference to address the
    political landscape in the wake of the Tashkent Agreement. Sheikh Mujibur Rahman put out
    the Six Points, which demanded that East Pakistan have more autonomy. When the initiative
    was rejected by Conference, Mujib was labeled a separatist. However, the Six Points were
    accepted by the Awami League as a call to action for further autonomy in East Pakistan.2

    The Six Points were a response to the political and economic inequality that East Pakistan
    experienced. Although East Pakistan made up the bulk of Pakistan, neither political nor
    economic advantages were distributed fairly to it. The Six Points were created to allow East
    Pakistan more authority over its own affairs. The Six Points were an important turning point in
    East Pakistan's history. They offered the Bengali people a voice and contributed to laying the
    foundation for the Bangladesh Liberation War.3

    1. In Pakistan there will be the Parliamentary form of government under federal system.
    The polling will be held under the general electoral system, and adult voters will
    enfranchise.
    2. The central government will keep two ministries in their hand, the defense and the
    foreign affairs. The states will have full autonomy of the other affairs.

    a single currency might be used on some terms and conditions.

    revenue will be deposited to the treasury of the central government.
    5. The states will be the owners of the foreign currency that they will earn, and similarly
