Secretary General AWP Punjab @ChaudhryAbida addressing the protest in solidarity with the affected communities in #Jaranwala. The protest was held in Lahore to condemn the violence against the community in Jaranwala
The military establishment and its foreign patrons tighten their grip over the polity. Economic ‘development’ is more and more a catchphrase for natural resource grabs. Ethnic, religious and patriarchal oppression intensifies with each passing day.

Expressing my views about #Jaranwala tragedy in a protest of Christian community against the attacks on Christian community burning of Churches and properties at National Press Club, Islamabad.
The houses have been severely damaged, people have lost their entire lives savings as well as belongings.
Some said the destruction has pushed them decades back in their lives. We demand state to compensate for their losses. #Jaraanwala
The Christians of Pakistan are as Pakistani as any other citizens and this country belongs to all its people. This kind of hatred, violence and intolerance should be stopped immediately through a country-wide program to eradicate extremist mindsets
We strongly condemn the mob violence and desecration of worship places in #Jaranwala. We demand swift justice and accountability of those involved along with long term measures to ensure such incidents do not repeat.
Moreover, natural resources, ports, & trade terminals must be returned to the federating nations. AWP demands creating a balance between imports & exports through industrialization and increasing exports, redistribution of wealth and resources, & introducing progressive taxation
The AWP strongly advocates for the devolution of all subjects to the federating nations except for currency, defence, foreign policy, and interprovincial coordination that should remain with the Federation.
The AWP demands the supremacy of civilian democratic institutions, safeguarding rights of people, freedom of expression in the management & utilization of their natural resources,& protecting of vulnerable ecology, impacted by global warming & unplanned development activities.
The AWP opposes granting of over 300 licenses for exploration and extraction of various minerals in the disputed region of Gilgit-Baltistan and Chitral without the informed consent of the local people trampling their fundamental rights and damaging their fragile ecology.
The AWP is of the view that natural resource exploitation and mining activities will cause significant damage to the ecosystem, water pollution, heavy metals in the soil, and disruption of surrounding communities' health, livelihood, and social stability.
The heavy presence of the military around these corporate ventures in N. Waziristan and Balochistan has led to human rights abuses, restrictions on movement, and disruptions to the daily lives of local populations.
