Maoist Bolshevik Reorganisation Movement of the Purba Banglar Sarbahara Party
Maoist Bolshevik Reorganisation Movement of the Purba Banglar Sarbahara Party (Bengali: পূর্ববাংলার সর্বহারা পার্টি – মাওবাদী বলশেভিক পুনর্গঠন আন্দোলন) is an underground communist party in Bangladesh. It was formed in 2001,[1] following a split from the Purba Banglar Sarbahara Party.[2] Following the formation of PBSP(MBRM), the party revived the agrarian struggles of PBSP in the Rajbari area, seizing 3,000 bighas of land and distributing them among landless peasants. Two police camps were set up in the area to counter the influence of the party.[2]
