The High Commission of Bangladesh in Islamabad is the chief diplomatic mission of Bangladesh to Pakistan. It is located in Sector F-6 of Islamabad. The present Bangladeshi High Commissioner to Pakistan is Md. Ruhul Alam Siddique, who assumed diplomatic duties in October 2020. Bangladesh also has a Deputy High Commission in Karachi, and an honorary consul in Lahore. Following the Partition of India Bangladesh and Pakistan were a part of a single state for 24 years. In 1970, parliamentary elections were held where the East Bengal-based Awami League led by Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman won a majority of seats in the National Assembly, granting the party an exclusive mandate to form a government. However, the military junta led by dictator Yahya Khan refused to recognise the results of the elections and ordered Operation Searchlight a genocidal crackdown to suppress the Bengali Nationalist Movement. Bangladesh consequently declared independence and following a nine month war, Bangladesh was liberated of occupying forces. Relations between Pakistan and Bangladesh have been strained as a result of Bangladeshi grievances following the Bangladesh Liberation War, the government of Pakistan has refused to apologise for the genocide, mass rape and murder of intellectuals committed against the people of Bangladesh during the war.
