Background and History of NFC
In 1971, Pakistan was cut into two, East Pakistan becoming Bangladesh. There are many reasons that can be attributed to the 1971 incident, one is the “Distribution of Resources” between East and West Pakistan. East Pakistan was responsible for majority of our output and most of it was used in West Pakistan. This infuriated the Bangladeshi people and contributed towards their final revolt against the government run by West Pakistan.
Bangladesh before 1971, was more populous then West Pakistan but it was still discriminated by the West Pakistan i.e. current day Pakistan. At that time, the distribution of resources based on population was never raised by anyone since it would have resulted in greater share of East Pakistan from the Federal Divisible Pool or in Federal Budget for East and West Pakistan.
