Dear friends,
Given the rise of religious extremism as seen recently in the Charsadda and Sialkot blasphemy cases, and given the mainstreaming of TLP and accommodation of the TTP, and in the light of our failed efforts over the last 4 years to unite the Left and nationalists, not to mention the Left itself, there is a suggestion that the very real threat to democracy and progressive politics should be countered by creating a broad front of workers, peasants, oppressed nationalities, women, students, youth, religious minorities and any other oppressed community to be called a Coalition of the Oppressed. Since the response to this suggestion has been generally positive and encouraging, a meeting to discuss the proposal will be held at the Research and Publication Centre (RPC), 2nd floor, 65 Main Boulevard Gulberg, Lahore on Saturday, December 18, 2021 at 3:00 pm. Kindly respond to give us an idea how many friends will be attending and need to be catered for. Tea will be served.
