==History==<br />
[[Image:Jsddhakarallyinu (69).JPG|thumb|right|''Jasad'' protesters at an opposition rally in 2005]]<br />
The Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal (JASAD) was formed in 1972 when it split from [[Bangladesh Chhatra League]], the student wing of the [[Bangladesh Awami League]], under the leadership of [[Serajul Alam Khan]], [[M. A. Jalil]], [[ASM Abdur Rab]] and [[Shajahan Siraj]]. It had an armed wing, [[Gonobahini]], led by Colonel [[Abu Taher]] and [[Hasanul Haq Inu]], Kazi Aref Ahmed, Monirul Islam, Sharif Nurul Ambia that led a violent left-wing [[1972-1975 Bangladesh insurgency|insurgency]] against the government of [[Sheikh Mujibur Rahman]].<ref>{{cite news |last=Alim |first=Syed Fattahul |date=1 February 2012 |title=Has Left Politics any Future?|url=http://archive.thedailystar.net/forum/2012/february/left.htm |work=Forum |publisher=[[The Daily Star (Bangladesh)|The Daily Star]] |volume=6 |issue=2}}</ref> Their aim was to form a new left wing democratic national government, for facilitating establishing a socialist state with Bangladeshi characteristics. This led the government to form the [[Jatiya Rakkhi Bahini]], the aim of which was to counter insurgency by the Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal (JASAD) activists.<ref>{{Cite book|url=http://press-files.anu.edu.au/downloads/press/p33231/pdf/ch0731.pdf|title=The military and democracy in Bangladesh|last=Ahamed|first=Emajuddin|publisher=Australian National University Press|year=2004|location=Sydney|pages=108–110}}</ref><br />

===Assassination of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman===<br />
Before the coup of 15 August 1975, Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal had planned to organize a mass upsurge to form a democratic national government replacing Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.<ref name=":0">{{cite news |last=Ahsan |first=Syed Badrul |date=7 July 2015|title=Bourgeois dreams of socialist revolution |url=http://www.observerbd.com/2015/07/07/98425.php |newspaper=The Daily Observer}}</ref><br />
<br />
After Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and his family were [[Assassination of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman|assassinated on 15 August 1975]], Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal leader [[Abu Taher]] showed his support and remarked: "The corpse of Sheikh Mujib should have been thrown into The Bay of Bengal".<ref name=":0"/><br />
<br />
On 7 November 1975, forces loyal to Colonel Abu Taher rescued army chief [[Ziaur Rahman]] from house arrest. When Ziaur Rahman realized that Abu Taher was moving the country into a direction of leftist [[communism]] which contradicted Zia's right wing views, Zia declared [[martial law]], formed the right wing [[Bangladesh Nationalist Party]] and cracked down on the Jatiyo Samajtantrik Dal by executing Abu Taher and sentencing other leaders to various prison terms.<ref name=":0"/><ref name=":1">{{cite news |last=Hossain |first=Kazi Mobarak |date=13 March 2016 |title=Hasanul Haq Inu’s JaSoD splits as he names Shirin general secretary violating the party constitution |url=http://bdnews24.com/politics/2016/03/12/hasanul-haq-inus-jasod-splits-as-he-names-shirin-general-secretary |work=bdnews24}}</ref><br />
<br />
===Factions===<br />
During Ziaur Rahman's rule, Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal split up twice. The party fragmented again during the regime of [[Hussain Muhammad Ershad]] in the 1980s, with ASM Abdur Rab and Shajahan Siraj heading two separate factions. Abdur Rab's faction, [[Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal-JSD]], became the opposition after taking part in the 1988 elections that were boycotted by all major political parties. After the [[Bangladesh Nationalist Party]] (BNP) came to power in 1991, Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal allied itself with former rivals [[Bangladesh Awami League]] to counter growing BNP and right wing influence in the country.
