To add to it some facts:

”The Government’s policy for East Bengal was spelled out in the Eastern Command headquarters at Dacca. It had three elements:

1. The Bengalis have proved themselves unreliable and must be ruled by West Pakistanis.
2. The Bengalis will have to be re-educated along proper Islamic lines. The – Islamization of the masses – this is the official jargon – is intended to eliminate secessionist tendencies and provide a strong religious bond with West Pakistan.
3. When the Hindus have been eliminated by death and fight, their property will be used as a golden carrot to win over the Muslim middle-class. This will provide the base for erecting administrative and political structures in the future.”

A Thread on Hidden history of Owaisi's AIMIM : What MIM doesn't want you to know
The party was founded in 1927 for providing a cultural and religious platform to the Muslims living in the principality of the Nizam of Hyderabad.
Then known just as MIM, it expanded overnight under Bahadur Yar Jung, a charismatic personality whose speeches drew the masses.
Jung died prematurely in 1944 – some claim he was poisoned – and the MIM leadership passed to Qasim Razvi, who headed the Razakars, the dreaded Muslim militia which was constituted to oppose Hyderabad’s merger with India.
