RAWALPINDI:

Speakers at a conference here on Sunday called for fair distribution of resources and equal rights to all federating units. They also stressed the need for unity of working people, labourers and peasants to struggle for their rights.

They also emphasised on resolving all conflicts, resolution of national question through peaceful means.

The event was organised by National Party (NP) to pay homage to those who sacrificed their lives for national and people’s rights in Koh-e-Suleman, Balochistan, during the Ayub Khan regime.

While addressing the gathering, a party leader Abdul Sattar Gazdar described the 1967’s incident a symbol of resistance against dictatorship.

“When state uses coercive means to suppress people’s grievances, defines their identity without listening them, then conflicts emerge,” he remarked.

Abdul Latif stressed on fair distribution of resources to resolve conflicts and to create national integration.

BSO secretary-general Zubair Baloch added the Baloch national movement is the struggle for the marginalised sections of society whether they are peasants of Punjab or haris of Sindh. “We are struggling against injustices, illiteracy, poverty and every form of exploitation, he said.

Ayub Malik said Pakistan is a security state and the party was working to make it a welfare state. He vowed to unite all marginalised sections of the society, as according to him without uniting the working people, labourers and students, the prevailing problems could not be solved.
