The National Congress (Bengali: জাতীয় কংগ্রেস, Urdu: نیشنل کانگریس) was a political party that mainly represented the Hindus, Christians and other religious minorities in Pakistan and Bangladesh.

The religious violence and mass migration as a result of partition significantly reduced the Hindu, Sikh and non-Muslim population of Pakistan.

[2][3] Although most of them had opposed the partition of India, the members of the new party accepted the state of Pakistan and did not maintain any organisational links with the Indian National Congress.

The Pakistan National Congress also stood against the growth of Islamic fundamentalism in Pakistani society, politics and government.

In the 1954 elections held for the East Bengal Legislative Assembly, the Pakistan National Congress won 28 seats.
