The Worker’s Party Pakistan (WPP) released a press statement on February 2 condemning the careless attitude of mainstream political parties towards the legislation on issues that affect the welfare of Pakistan’s people. The WPP leaders said that the current policies of slashing subsidies, privatising education and health facilities, raising the prices of basic amenities and cutting permanent public sector jobs were reducing faith in the democratic system. They said that only a genuinely progressive political force which was anti-imperialist, anti-capitalist and anti-establishment would inspire the Pakistani people to challenge and remove the authorities that monopolised the country’s resources, economic and social policies.
