The Communist Party of Pakistan (CPP) is waging a crusade against class-war and it was struggling for uplifting the living standard of 'have-nots', and it believes in a classless society, therefore, it has launched a pamphlet drive on US imperialistic aggression, and appealed to the general public to effectively boycott buying US goods and articles to express their hate against imperialist policies of invading the countries around the globe.
The CPP said the US government through the IMF, the World Bank and WTO dictates the economic, political and foreign policies of the Third World and these policies are responsible for the death of 30,000 children a day.
It also said the US government is promoting the genocidal foreign policy in the Third World, while it is responsible for the death of 1.5 million people and 700,000 children besides, establishing military bases in all over the world.
About 80,000 US troops are staying only in Middle East and more on Pakistan's soils, said the pamphlet.
The pamphlet said: "The revenues from the US goods only help to kill innocent people all over the world. All across the Middle East and all over the world people are boycotting US goods which is also an act of solidarity with all the victims to US aggression."
Punjab CPP Secretary-General Syed Irfan Haider Shamsi said that millions of copies of pamphlet are being circulated among the public circles in every nook and corner of the country to promote hate against war phenomena and imperialist expansion.
The pamphlet asks the people that the US government has bombed 21 countries since the World War II to keep them under pressure for financial supremacy, the bombardment also claimed thousands of lives in the US victim countries are include: China (1945-46 and 1950-53), Korea (1950-53), Guatemala (1954, 1960, 1967-69), Indonesia (1958), Cuba (1959-61), Congo (1964), Peru (1965), Laos (1964-73), Vietnam (1961-73), Cambodia (1969-70), Lebanon (1983-84), Grenada (1983), Libya (1986), El Salvador (1980), Nicaragua (1980), Panama (1989), Bosnia (1995), Sudan (1998), Yugoslavia (1999), Iraq (1991-2003), Afghanistan (1998 and 2001-2002) and Iraq (2003).
