East Pakistan Central Peace Committee
East Pakistan central peace committee (Bengali: পূর্ব পাকিস্তান কেন্দ্রীয় শান্তি কমিটি, Urdu: مشرقی پاکستان مرکزی امن کمیٹی) was one of several committees formed in 1971 by the administration of the Pakistan Army. It was created to help stop the rebellion in the former East Pakistan region (what is now Bangladesh). The rebels wanted independence for East Pakistan.
The committee was commonly known as the Peace Committee or Shanti Committee after Shanti Bahini.
