After elections which took place in 1971, Sheikh Mujeeb of East Pakistan gained majority but in West Pakistan Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto was chosen by public. Bhutto didn't accept victory of Mujeeb. This conflict resulted in riots and ultimately army intervention was made by Pakistan in East Pakistan. India took advantage of this situation and attacked Pakistani borders. This whole scenario resulted in separation of East Pakistan from West Pakistan.
