The Bangladesh Krishak Sramik Awami League (Bengali: বাংলাদেশ কৃষক শ্রমিক আওয়ামী লীগ, lit. 'Bangladesh Peasants' Workers' People's League'), abbreviated as BaKSAL, was the sole legal ruling party of Bangladesh from January to August 1975. The party comprised politicians from the Awami League, the Communist Party of Bangladesh, the National Awami Party (Muzaffar), Bangladesh National League and Parbatya Chattagram Jana Samhati Samiti.[1][2] The party advocated for democratic socialism as a part of reforms under the theory of the Second Revolution, which BaKSAL worked to achieve the objectives of.[3]
The party was founded on 25 January 1975 by Sheikh Mujibur Rahman following the Fourth Amendment to the constitution.[4] A presidential order also outlawed all political parties other than BaKSAL, creating a state of emergency and obligating other parties to join the front.[5] BaKSAL was dissolved after the assassination of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in August 1975.[6]
