The demonstraters raised slogans whcih attracted very good responce from the passer byes who made victory signs to see the demonstration.
On the occasion, Labour Party Pakistan issued a communiqué saying that Blair is a liar and he has invaded Iraq alongside with Bush on flase pretextand got thousands of people killed. He has become a threat to world peace. People of pakistan did not welcome him as they consider him responsible for killing of thousands of innocent citizens of Iraq and Afghanistan. Their war on terror is promoting religious fundamentalism. around the world. If they are serious in curtailing the religious fundamentalism, they should not encourage General Pervaiz Musharaf to support the Madrassas. He is here in Pakistan to
hail Musharaf bombing of Bajor agency Madrassa where 83 were killed two weeks ago in an early morning air strike.
Blair is war criminal and must be treated as a war crminal, the LPP communiqué said. We will do our best to oppose the imperialists and the religious fundamentalists in Pakistan and internationally.
This was the only demonstration in Pakistan against the three days visit of Tony Blair to pakistan. Religious fundamentalist has kept a criminal silence on his visit. They have not issued even a statement condemning his visit.
