Following the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution of Bangladesh, enacted on 25 January 1975, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman formed BaKSAL on 24 February.[2] A presidential order also outlawed all political parties other than BaKSAL, creating a state of emergency and obligating other parties to join the front.
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]
BaKSAL was dissolved after the assassination of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in August 1975.[4] As a result, all the political parties that merged with BaKSAL became independent again.
