Pakistan Message of thanks from Manzoor Ahmed to John McDonnell MP

Dear Comrade John

We want to express our gratitude for the resolution you have moved in the British Parliament in support of the struggle of the PTCL workers in Pakistan.

We have circulated this resolution amongst the PTCL workers, members of the parliament and trade unionists throughout Pakistan. There was a great sense of appreciation and encouragement amongst the PTCL workers and all those in the movement on reading this resolution.

We hope that we will continue to collaborate in solidarity with the struggles of the workers in Britain, Pakistan and elsewhere.

Once again I thank you and express by deep-felt appreciation to you.

With warm greetings,

Your Fraternally,

Manzoor Ahmed

Member of National Assembly and President Pakistan Trade Union Defence Campaign (PTUDC)
