The BNT recently held
an important meeting of student federations from across Pakistan. The
meeting brought together several progressive student federations from across Pakistan into
one platform to struggle for student rights and the state of emergency declared
by the Musharraf.
Comrade Manzoor Ahmed, the Marxist MP in Pakistan, was released from the Central Jail of Gujranwala this morning. He is now leading a jubilant caravan of supporters back to his hometown of Kasur.
Musharraf's hold on power hangs by a thread. With pressure on all sides he has very few options and the crisis continues to mount. The pressure on the masses continues to grow, and they can stand no more. The only way out of the situation, the only forward, is socialist revolution.
