Hakeem Mohd Yaseen alleged that the present Government was diverting attention of the people from basic issues of price rise, unemployment, scarcity of power and inflation. Ab Rashid Kabuli held the Government responsible for the menace of corruption and referred to the recent scandal of BOPEE.
A R Tukoo appealed the participants to be ready for the protracted struggle against misrule and exploitation.
