Sarbadaliya Chhatra Sangram Parishad (All Party Student Action Committee) was a student organisation that was formed to demand autonomy of

Ayub Khan from power. It also called for the restoration of democracy in 1969.[1][2][3]

History

Sarbadaliya Chhatra Sangram Parishad was formed on 4 January 1969. It was formed through the joining of the East Pakistan Student Union (Matia), East Pakistan Chhatra League, East Pakistan Student Union (Menon), and student leaders of Dhaka University Student Union. The Parishad created an Eleven Points Programme that was based on the 1965

section 144. The police and students clashed in the streets which injured many students and an EPR bus was burned down.[4]

The Parishad called a strike on 20 January throughout the province. Amanullah Asaduzzaman, a student, was killed by police firing in the strike. The Parishad in response called strikes and processions from 21 to 24 January. On 24 January clashes took place throughout the province between strikers and police personal. Two protesters were killed in Mymensingh due to police action. Many were injured throughout the province. Matiur Rahman Mallik, a class nine student of Nabakumar Institution, and Rustam Ali were killed in Dhaka. 61 activists were killed in the protests. The student league formed Kendriya Chhatra Sangram Parishad on 12 January 1970 thus ending Sarbadaliya Chhatra Sangram Parishad.[4] Its protest stopped the Agartala conspiracy trial and forced the Pakistan government to release Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.[5]

Legacy

The movement laid down the foundation for

Bangladesh Liberation war.[4][6]
