Comrade Ali Wazir is contesting General elections 2018 from NA 50 constituency, of Wana, South Waziristan as an independent candidate. Ali Wazir’s saga is a tale of courageous struggle, enormous sacrifices, and defiance. The Al-Qaida, Taliban, and other forces of black reaction martyred seventeen of his family members. He has endured State repression, fundamentalist terror, and socio-economic hardships all his life. Despite the sufferings and attacks, his fortitude to fight for the emancipation of youth and working class not only of Waziristan but the whole region has never wavered. Whatsoever Social movements of people’s rights, political struggles of the oppressed classes or resistance against the State and their sponsored terrorists – Ali Wazir always stood firm and fought against tyranny that has become legendary. From rigid mountains of Waziristan to metropolitan cities of Pakistan, he has become a forceful voice against this cruel and coercive system. In the coming days, this class struggle will continue on every platform, from Parliament to the countryside from the universities to the colleges, shantytowns and factories.
Comrade Ali Wazir stands for a radical transformation of the capitalist system, its state, and society. His program and basic demands for Elections 2018 are as the following:
