Comrade Manzoor Ahmed, Member of the Pakistan National Assembly, along
with several other MNAs has submitted two motions against the
privatisation of Pakistan Steel Mills (PSM) and Pakistan
Telecommunication Company (PTCL). We publish the following report from
DAWN, Pakistan's most widely circulated English daily newspaper.

After the PTCL workforce, now it is
the workers of WAPDA who are faced with the prospect of
privatisation. Such a measure would be detrimental to the interests
not only of the WAPDA workers but of all the workers and poor of
Pakistan. The PTCL workers put up a brave fight but were let down by
the union leaders. Let this not happen again!

In January the Belgian solidarity choir, Hei Pasoep held a concert in
Antwerp and donated the income to the PTUDC sponsored Revolutionary
Solidarity Caravans presently involved in relief work in the areas
devastated by last year’s earthquake. The concert was a huge success
and the people in the camps back in Kashmir have shown their
appreciation.

The regime in Pakistan is indeed a callous one. Not only did it show
little concern for the hundreds of thousands hit by the quake in
Kashmir and Northern Pakistan, now it wants to exploit this moment of
bewilderment among the masses to speed up the process of privatization,
starting with the Karachi Steel Mills. The PTUDC is mobilizing,
starting with a conference of union and workers delegates this Saturday
in Karachi.

We are publishing this update on the PTUDC’s Fifth Revolutionary
Solidarity Caravan. The relief goods are being held by the Pakistani
army and we have not yet been able to get them back. We are hoping that
this situation will be resolved sometime next week. In the meantime,
PTUDC supporters in India are organizing another caravan which should
arrive in Pakistan next week. From there it will proceed to Kashmir.

Many generous donations have been made to the Pakistan Earthquake
Appeal that we launched immediately after the disaster hit. Thanks to
these donations several camps have been set up and thousands of people
have been treated and sheltered. Now the Fifth caravan has been hit by
an unnatural disaster, the hands of the thieving Pakistani state!
Please protest at this scandalous behaviour!

The PTUDC’s fourth revolutionary solidarity caravan entered Pakistan
through the Wagah checkpoint from India on November 6. There were four
large trucks on this caravan carrying relief goods including 522 large
tents, 4000 blankets, 300 quilts, 500 bamboos, flour, tea, sugar and
other basic necessities. This is the second caravan to arrive from
India in support of the PTUDC’s relief campaign.

Despite the devastation and the loss of life the work of the PTUDC
continues to move forward and the moral of the comrades remains high.

We have all seen the reports in the media about the lack of doctors and
medical supplies in the areas of Kashmir affected by the earthquake. As
a result the PTUDC has established a series of medical camps in
Kashmir. Under the banner of the PTUDC’s “Revolutionary Solidarity
Camp” a team of doctors, composed of comrades from Hyderabad, went to
Rawlakot to provide medical care to the thousands of people who have
yet to receive any. We publish this report from the doctors on their
activities at these camps.
