KARACHI, Dec 30: The Labour Party Pakistan on Sunday staged a peace rally outside Karachi Press Club against the prevailing tension between Pakistan and India.

The provincial general secretary of the party, Omar Baloch, said the only way to refrain India and Pakistan from going to war was that workers of both the countries should rise against war.

He recalled that people of the subcontinent had already been suffering from poverty, homelessness and unemployment and over 46 per cent of the population in both the countries had been living below poverty line.

“If war is imposed on the people of the two countries through machinations of the US it will further deteriorate their condition.”
