Day of Mr. Rasul Bux Palijo who is founder of leftist party Awami Tahreek in
Pakistan. Top leftist leadership participated in the gather. It was the
greatest moment of left oriented peoples after 1990.
The Awami
Tahreek (Peoples
Movement) was formed on March 5, 1970 in Hyderabad, Sindh, Pakistan. Leading
theoretician Rasul
Bux Palijo was elected as
its first General Secretary. It is a political party devoted to non-violence in
its democratic struggle to attain freedom of People through the scientific and
revolutionary tenets of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism. Over the years, Awami Tahreek
has emerged as the foremost Democratic Left force in the country. It believes
that a comprehensive overhauling of society is required in order to deliver the
benefits of a welfare state to the masses. Awami Tahreek stands for equal
rights for all citizens without distinction of sex, class, color, language,
faith and creed. The Party has been able to effectively withstand the
imperialist propaganda offensive in the aftermath of the setback and reverses
to socialism internationally. The courageous battles fought under the
Awami Tahreek's leadership, its role in the anti-imperialist,
anti-establishment, anti-martial law and anti-feudal struggles and struggles on
people's issues over more than three decades, found reflection in historical
support of masses in movements like: Neelam Band Karyo Movement, Sindhi Voter
Lists Movement, MRD, Journalist Movement, anti-urban terrorism movement and
above all in Anti Kalabagh Dam, Judiciary restoration movement and Thal
Canal Movement. The Tahreek is strict in opposing capitalism, imperialism, army
rule, dictatorships, terrorism, corruption, racism, gender discrimination and
religious bigotry. The Party also promises the elimination of feudalism in
accordance with the established principles of socialism to protect and advance
the interests of peasantry. The Awami Tahreek has consistently championed the
cause of the unity of the motherland, of all castes, communities, minorities
and ethnic groups inhabiting our vast and diverse country. Ever since its
foundation it came forward as the builder of Muslim-Hindu-Christian unity, as a
fighter against communalism and riots, as a defender of the just rights of all
the minorities, Sindhi peasantry and off all working classes of the
country.
