Islamabad, Pakistan – The National Party, a beacon of democracy, equality, and justice in Pakistan, has a rich and historic legacy that continues to guide its journey today.
Founded in 2003, the National Party emerged from the unification of two major ideological movements: the Balochistan National Movement (BNM) and the Balochistan National Democratic Party (BNDP). These organizations, with their deep-rooted history in advocating for the rights of marginalized communities, trace their origins to the National Awami Party (NAP), which championed the cause of democratic federalism and people’s rights across Pakistan.
The formation of the National Party marked a new chapter in the struggle for federalism and autonomy in the country. The movement was born out of the desire to challenge Pakistan’s centralized authoritarianism, military interference, and the exploitation of marginalized communities, particularly in Balochistan, Sindh, Punjab, and Pakhtunkhwa.
The roots of the National Party’s ideology can be traced back to the early 20th century, when leaders like Mir Ghous Baksh Bizenjo, the founder of the National Awami Party, fought for democratic federalism and the rights of Pakistan’s oppressed nations. The unification of BNM and BNDP in 2003 revitalized this long-standing struggle, carrying forward the values of social democracy, inclusive federalism, and human dignity.
At the heart of the National Party’s vision is a peaceful, pluralistic, and prosperous federation, where power flows from the people. The Party envisions a Pakistan where all citizens, irrespective of their ethnicity, class, religion, or gender, enjoy equal rights, security, and justice. This commitment to human dignity and equality remains at the core of the Party’s mission.
Over the years, the National Party has not only contributed to shaping the political landscape of Pakistan but has also stood firmly with the marginalized and voiceless communities. It has consistently demanded a truly democratic and voluntary federation, where each province has control over its resources and decision-making powers.
As the National Party continues its work, it remains committed to the core principles of federalism, rule of law, and the political, economic, and cultural rights of all nations within Pakistan. In the face of adversity, the Party’s unwavering dedication to equality and justice stands as a beacon for all those who believe in a fairer, more inclusive Pakistan.
For over a century, this struggle for justice has been marked by sacrifice, resistance, and determination, and as the Party moves forward, it continues to carry the torch of democratic nationalism, ensuring that the rights of all Pakistanis are protected and promoted.
