Page "West Pakistan" Paragraph 20

Due to West's close relations with the United States and the capitalist states, the influence of socialism had far more deeper roots in the West-Pakistan population.

The population favoured the socialism but never allied with the Communism.

The Pakistan Socialist Party had previously lost support in West due to its anti-Pakistan clauses during the time of the pre-independence movement.

However, despite the initiatives were taken to improve the population during the Ayub Khan's government, the poor mass did not enjoy the benefits and reforms that were enjoyed by the middle and gentry classes of Pakistan.
