Constituent Assembly of Pakistan


The Constituent Assembly of Pakistan (Bengali: পাকিস্তান্ গণপরিষদ্ Pākistān Gaṇapariṣad; Urdu: آئین ساز اسمبلی, Aāin Sāz Asimblī‎), was formed to write Pakistan's constitution and serve as its first parliament.

It was preceded by the Constituent Assembly of India, which first met in the Indian Parliament on December 9, 1946 in Delhi, while India was still under British rule. It originally included the provinces that now compose Pakistan and Bangladesh, and the representation of the princely states of India.

In June 1947 the representatives of the Constituent Assembly of India from Sindh, East Bengal, Baluchistan, West Punjab and the North West Frontier Province withdrew to form the Constituent Assembly of Pakistan, meeting in Karachi.

On 15 August 1947, following the partition of India, twenty-eight members of the Muslim League remained in the Indian Constituent Assembly, apart from 93 members who were from the princely states (including four members from Jammu & Kashmir who did not join the newly created Pakistani constituent assembly).
