The '''Bangladesh Communist Party (Leninist)''' was a [[communist party]] in [[Bangladesh]]. BCP(L) was founded in [[Calcutta]] in the fall of 1971, by several small communist splinter factions. The core of founders of BCP(L) consisted of [[Kazi Zafar Ahmed]], [[Rashed Khan Menon]] and [[Haider Akbar Khan Rono]] from the Communist Samanay Kendra, [[Amal Sen]] and Nazrul Islam from Communist Sanghati Kendra and Nasim Ali from the Hatiar group. Communist Samanay Kendra originated from the students movement and Communist Sanghati Kendra was a splinter group of [[East Pakistan Communist Party (Marxist-Leninist)]] that had revolted against the annihilation line.<br />
<br />
Amal Sen was elected secretary of the party. BCP(L) projected itself as neither loyal to [[Moscow]] nor [[Peking]].
