Solution
Sheikh Mujibur Rahman
Explanation:
Sheikh Mujibur Rahman led the popular resistance to West Pakistani dominance. He demanded independence for the eastern region. The Awami League, led by Sheikh Mujib, won all of the seats in East Pakistan in the 1970 elections, securing a majority in the proposed constituent assembly for the entire country. However, the West Pakistani-dominated government refused to convene the assembly. Sheikh Mujib was apprehended. The Pakistani army attempted to suppress the Bengali people's mass movement under the military rule of General Yahya Khan.
