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.
We have just received this report of a rally in
Kasur led by Manzoor Ahmed, the Marxist MP in Pakistan. The police baton-charged
the rally and attempted to arrest Manzoor but the demonstrators protected him
and helped him get away. But hundreds of PPP and PTUDC activists were arrested.
We will keep our readers updated as we get the news.
