Islamabad, April 25, 2013: The Third Day of second session of Youth Parliament Pakistan (YPP) resumed the discussion on a resolution which insisted the Government to make the use of article (6) and trial all individuals who have either abrogated or suspended the constitution of Pakistan. The resolution was moved by Mr. Reyyan Khan Niaz (YP23-PUNJAB06) and Mr. Umer Naeem (YP48-PUNJAB31) which was passed unanimously. Later, another resolution was moved by Mr. Mateeullah Tareen (YP04-BALOCHISTAN03), Mr. Rafiullah Kakar (YP02-BALOCHISTAN), Mr. Hazrat Wali Kakar (YP06-BALOCHISTAN), Mr. Usman Jilani (YP13-KP03), Mr. Inamullah Marwat (YP14-KP04) and Ms. Sharmeen Qamar (YP43-PUNJAB26) that urged expediting the process of repatriation of Afghan refugees. Endorsing the resolution, Ms. Sonia Riaz (YP03-BALOCHISTAN02) argued that the Afghan refugees are not only responsible for introducing the "Kalashnikov" and "heroin" cultures in Pakistan but also damaged its already dented education, health and services sectors. Where Mr. Arslan Alii (YP52-SINDH04) was of the view that one sided picture is provided to the People of Pakistan, Afghans are not entirely responsible for the damage caused to Pakistan, they have also benefitted Pakistan such as their participation in transport business, low-priced hotels etc. The next Resolution was moved by Ms. Sitwat Waqar (YP12-KP02), Mr. Najam us Saqib (YP59-SINDH11) and Mr. Ejaz Sarwar (YP21-PUNJAB04) which discussed the grim conditions prevalent in Balochistan since its annexation with Pakistan. Highlighting the economic and geostrategic importance of Baluchistan, Mr. Iqbal Zehri (YP06-BALOCHISTAN04) condemned the use of force against Baloch people and moved forward recommendations for mitigating the crisis in Baluchistan and Mr. Hasham Malik (YP09-ICT01) recommended that a Parliamentary Committee shall be constituted with the mandate to negotiate with the Baloch insurgents and resolve the grievances of Baloch people. A resolution was moved to frame the effective National Counter Terrorism Strategy by Mr. Rafiullah Kakar (YP06-BALOCHISTAN05), Mr. Mateeullah Tareen (YP04-BALOCHISTAN03), Mr. Hazarat Wali Kakar (YP02-BALOCHISTAN01), Ms. Mehwish Rani (YP46-PUNJAB29) and Mr. Rajesh Kumar (YP61-SINSDH13), appreciating the passage of the "The National Counter Terrorism Authority Bill, 2013" by the Parliament of Pakistan. The leader of the House, Ms. Anam Asif (YP40-PUNJAB23) recommended that our counter terrorism strategy shall include monitoring supporters of the groups in the civil and military administration, curtailing societal sources of support, addressing socio economic causes of religious extremism and taking strict actions against the use of violence. The session was adjourned till tomorrow i.e., Friday 10:00 am. |
