The seed Bangabandhu sow in historic six-point demand in 1966 got fulfilled with the 1970 general elections. Awami League gained a landslide majority bagging 167 seats out of 313 in the national cabinet of Pakistan. Sheikh Mujibur Rahman became the supreme leader of united Pakistan.
But Pakistani military junta and defeated politicians did not handover the power to the Bengali majority, rather they started making excuses from the very beginning of 1971. Even the autocratic General Yaha cancelled the national cabinet assembly, supposed to be held on March 3. This made the Bengali people furious immediately after the announcement on March 1.
