The Six Point Movement was a political movement launched by the Awami League, in 1966. The movement was led by Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
The Six Points were a set of demands put forward by the Awami League that called for greater autonomy and self-determination for East Pakistan. The demands were:
1. Rights and powers of defense and foreign affairs.
2. East Pakistan would have its own currency.
3. The right to maintain its own military forces.
4. The power to levy taxes would be vested in the provinces.
5. The federal government would not have the power to impose emergency rule in East Pakistan.
6. The eastern wing of Pakistan would have a greater representation in the federal government, reflecting its larger population.
However, The Six Point Movement is considered a significant event in the history of Bangladesh and is seen as a precursor to the country's struggle for independence. The demands put forward by the movement continue to be relevant to this day, as Bangladesh continues to strive for greater autonomy and self-determination within the framework of a federal system.
