Labour Party Pakistan

The Labour Party Pakistan is a small political party, claiming a membership of 2,800 in 2003, which originates from the Trotskyist tradition. Its founders were students in the Netherlands who came into contact with the Committee for a Workers International and were recruited to that body in 1980. They returned to Pakistan in 1986 and began carrying out entry work in the Pakistan Peoples Party as the Struggle group. From 1991 they operated as an open group and in 1995 they became the Jeddojuh Inqilabi Tehrik (JIT) or Struggle Revolutionary Movement. This was in opposition to the advice of the CWI. This was with a membership of 70 militants which grew to 740 by 1997 when the LPP was launched. This in turn led to the LPP being expelled from the CWI

The LPP is close to groupings such as the Scottish Socialist Party and the Democratic Socialist Party in Australia. In March 2005, it obtained permanent observer status in the reunified Fourth International [http://www.internationalviewpoint.org/spip.php?article772] .

The party is led by its 30-years old chairman Nisar Shah. The General Secretary is Farooq Tariq.

Supporters of the party publish a weekly paper in Urdu, [http://www.jeddojuhd.com/ Mazdoor Jeddojuhd] , with [http://www.jeddojuhd.com/latest%20news%20and%20articles.html English translations of recent articles] .
