Operation Jackpot was the codename assigned to an attack on Pakistani naval forces by suicide squads of the erstwhile East Pakistani naval commando forces during the 1971 War.
During the Bangladesh Liberation War, the differences between the two wings of Pakistan led to a nascent separatist movement in East Pakistan. This was curbed with harshness, especially when martial law was in force between 1958 and 1962 (under General Ayub Khan) and between 1969 and 1972 (under General Yahya Khan). These military rulers were of West Pakistani origin and continued to favour West Pakistan in terms of economic advantages. The seperatist movement was supressed by Pakistani military officials such as Tikka Khan and A. A. K. Niazi.
Indian army and the Research and Analysis Wing aided sections of Bengali seperatists in guerilla warfare. This group of guerilas was called the Mukti Bahini (literally "The Liberation Army").
