HYDERABAD, June 15: Awami Tehrik chief Rasool Bux Palijo has stressed the need for a sustained and organised struggle for eliminating dictatorship and establishing a system based on justice and democracy.

Mr Palijo said while talking to party workers at Awami House on his return from Islamabad on Saturday that the lawyers’ struggle for the restoration of deposed judges and independence of judiciary had laid foundation stone for a long struggle for a new and democratic Pakistan. Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah had not created the country for generals, feudal lords and imperialist forces, who had compromised on the country’s sovereignty and made 160 million people slaves, he remarked.

He said that on the one hand, democracy was not being allowed to take roots while on the other the US planes were attacking army pickets, killing innocent people.
