We give priority in EQUITY and JUSTICE in all development along with distribution of growth, as inequality and injustice is being increased and systematically promoted anti people forces both in national and international level.
We believe POVERTY is an outcome of MULTIPLE DENIAL of PEOPLE’S fundamental RIGHTS; poverty CAN NOT be eliminated through a mere CHARITY approach. Fundamental responsibility of the state is to ensure facilities and conditions so that the poor will have rightful share on the resources and be able to develop him/herself as a dignified citizen of the country.
