{{no sources|date=October 2012}} [[File:South Asian Communist Banner.svg|thumb|Banner]] The '''Communist Party of Pakistan''' ({{lang-ur|کمیونسٹ پارٹی آف پاکستان}}) is a communist party in Pakistan. The CPP was founded in Calcutta, Union of India on March 6, 1948. A decision was taken at the Second All India Conference of the Communist Party of India, which was held in Calcutta at that time, that a separate communist party ought to be created in the new [[State of Pakistan]]. It was thought that Pakistan, being a relatively small country (in comparison to India) and suffering from instability, was ripe for revolution. The delegates from Pakistan separated themselves and held a separate session were they constituted the CPP.
