The Awami Workers Party AWP has called upon its workers to play their part in ensuring that education, employment, health, housing and other basic necessities were provided to the people.

The party issued its 10-point agenda as their manifesto at the Karachi Press Club on Monday while saying that their party believed in uprooting the existing worn-out system in Pakistan which was based on exploitation of the poor.

The party wants to:

  • Abolish the medieval feudal and tribal system
  • Abolish the class-based educational system
  • Set Rs30,000 as the minimum wage

... and more.
