RASOOL BAKHSH PALEJO'S POLITICAL SERVICES DURING THE ZIA ADMINISTRATION FOR SINDH AWARENESS

Abstract

For the survival of a nation, among other contrary nations, political awareness is an asset. For this torch-bearerness, nature creates and selects specific personalities. These personalities used to collide against grave challenges and stand against storms. In the history of Pakistan, several martial laws were imposed that tried to drag the country into the Stone Age, but some patriotic personalities rose to tackle this dictatorship. Among these personalities, Rasool Bakhsh Palejo, the founder of Awami Tehreek, was one. General Muhammad Zia ul Haq demolished the whole democratic value imposed by the martial law on July 5, 1977, which checked the state’s progress wheel. So, in the 1980s, against this military dictatorship, the “Movement for the Restoration of Democracy (MRD) was launched. This research paper is an attempt to sketch and discuss the role of political parties as ‘Left’ Socialist or Communist ideologies in Sindh province, “Awami Tehreek,” a Marxist-Leninist Party of Pakistan.
