LAHORE: The Awami National Party (ANP) has warned the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) that it may, along with other parties, take to the street if the federal government succumbs to the US pressure of allowing private American armies to operate in the country.
Its better to come out on roads instead of seeing the country being mortgaged and its traffic sergeants being slapped by the Americans, says party secretary-general Ehsan Wyne.
As both the ANP and the PPP are coalition partners in the federal as well as NWFP governments, Wyne does not rule out parting of ways if problems of masses are continued to be ignored.
He said the US had been involved in macro-management of Pakistan since 1950s but now it had physically entered the country for micro-management and all the parties should get united on a single platform to resist the move aimed at enslaving the Pakistanis.
Were already dying of hunger and will be ready to lay our lives for protecting our sovereignty instead of becoming slaves.
He declared that if other parties did not respond to the call, the ANP would agitate the issue alone.
The party at its recent central working committee meeting had passed resolutions against US interference into internal affairs of the country.
Critical of President Asif Zardaris obsession with foreign tours and PPP governments `indifference towards peoples plight, Wyne said national wealth was being wasted through `unnecessary foreign visits while people struggled to get ration.
Were not part of this wasteful use of national resources.
Discussing the sugar crisis, he alleged that billions of rupees were minted through it by some authorities in the federal capital. He regretted that both the federal and Punjab governments were insulting the people by making them stand in queues for hours to get basic food items.
The ANP leader warned of `bloody revolution if economic and political inequities continued to prevail.
He alleged that some people were out to collect billions of rupees in kickbacks through rental power projects and regretted that the opposition was not raising the issue from any platform, leaving it to the ANP to raise a voice against the corrupt practices.
If the PPP government did not mend its ways, he cautioned, it would not take the ANP long to dissociate itself from the coalition governments.
