Abdul Kader Siddique,[a] is a Bangladeshi politician. He served as a Mukti Bahini commander, and organizer of the Bangladesh War of Independence. He fought with an estimated 17,000-strong guerrilla force in the Tangail region against the Pakistan Army.[2] The army was called Kaderia Bahini (Kader's Army).[3][4][5] At the end of the war in 1971, Siddique's forces entered Dhaka along with the Indian forces, signaling the end of the war.[6] He was awarded Bir Uttom by the Government of Bangladesh. Since 1999, he has been serving as the leader of his newly formed party, the Krishak Sramik Janata League.[7]
