HYDERABAD, June 10: The provincial secretary of the Communist Party of Pakistan (CPP), Comrade Imdad Kazi, has said that the US was levelling ground to deploy its own forces along the Line of Control with a view to setting up its network throughout Asia.

He was talking to a delegation of Punjab committee members of the party who called on him here on Saturday.

He favoured the proposal of joint patrol by Pakistan and India along the LoC as ‘positive’ adding that observers from the Asian group of the Almaty conference should also be appointed which would go a long way in reducing tension between the two countries.

Comrade Kazi told the delegation that a Bombay-based multinational company wanted to establish a mini-control system in Multan by laying a gas line up to the biggest proposed powerhouse in India.

He expressed his fear that the US forces would also be deployed in Multan in a couple of years if the project materialized.

The CPP leader called upon the countrymen to throw out the ‘hired bureaucrats’ who had encouraged fundamentalism in the country.

He called upon the party workers to actively participate in all anti-imperialist struggles and urged the Punjab chapter of the party to mobilize public opinion against the greater Thal canal and Kalabagh dam projects.

HARI: President of the Sindh Hari Committee, Comrade Azhar Jatoi, has accused the rulers of hatching a conspiracy to destroy Sindh. In a statement, issued here on Sunday, he claimed that under a conspiracy, the greater Thal canal was being built.
