"The ideas of genuine Marxism have been vindicated with the election of Manzoor Ahmed to the Pakistani Parliament in yesterday's elections. These ideas represent the only real solution to the problems facing the masses in Pakistan. This is the first opportunity workers have had to actually express their opinion of these ideas at the ballot box. During this election campaign many thousands of workers came into contact with the ideas of Marxism for the first time.
On one of Manzoor's election posters the main slogan was "Irreconcilable Struggle Until Socialist Revolution". So no one can have any doubt what the people of Kasur were voting for! When the result was announced in the early hours of the morning huge numbers of Manzoor's supporters came out spontaneously to celebrate his victory.
The bourgeois media prefer to highlight the advances of the Islamic fundamentalists in some areas of Pakistan in yesterday's elections. They prefer to give the impression that everything is moving to the right and towards barbaric reaction. But in the constituency of NA-139 Kasur II we have a completely different picture."
