Moreover it is need of the hour to ensure adequate security measures for political workers and Election 2013 keeping in view TTP threat to disrupt democratic system.

RESOLUTIONS

Mr. Kashif Ali (YP51-SINDH03) and Mr. Arsalan Ali (YP52-SINDH04) would like to move the following resolution:

"This House is of the opinion that the biggest threat to hold free and fair elections 2013 is the increased targets by the militants. There has been an increased identification by the militant groups to attack parties such as ANP, PPP and MQM who have historically retained and stood against terrorists in Pakistan. The coming elections are no less significant. At stake is the future of Pakistan as a democratic country. It is therefore high time that Election Commission Pakistan must not let the electoral process being hijacked by the anti-state forces and all the parties must vehemently condemn TTP's attacks. An adequate protective arrangement must also be made with the help of police, rangers and if needed the Army to ensure that people participate in elections free of intimidation and fears."

Mr. Muhammad Kashif Khan Khichi (YP39-PUNJAB22), Mr. Muhammad Danish Raza (YP19-PUNJAB02), Mr. Saqlain Saleem (YP20-PUNJAB03), Mr. Muhammad Nabeel Sandhu (YP25-PUNJAB08) and Ms. Ayesha Tahir (YP32-PUNJAB150) would like to move following resolution:

"This House is of the opinion that special investigation should be carried out and made to public, the findings over Quetta and Karachi carnage and sectarian target killing. So that conspiracy to sabotage peaceful environment of the country should be exposed. Moreover there is a need to check the foreign factor to destabilize our beloved country. Attacks against any citizen of Pakistan must be condemned and culprits must be brought to justice".

Ms. Zaib Liaqat (YP26-PUNJAB09) would like to move following resolution:

"This House is of the opinion that the overseas Pakistanis should be given the right to vote. The change is expected to affect more than three million Pakistanis living abroad. The possibility of introducing a "postal balloting" method seem to be the most easily implemented option, given the time available. Alternatively polling stations can be established at the embassies and consulates in foreign jurisdictions and the embassy officials can be appointed as the returning officers".

Mr. Ejaz Sarwar (YP21-PUNJAB04) would like to move the following resolution:

"This House is of the opinion that Kashmir issue lies at the heart of tension between Pakistan and India. It is indispensable for an honorable and equitable solution to Kashmir that both Pakistan and India move ahead with other confidence building measures such as liberalization of trade and relaxing visa regime to reach to the Kashmir problem step by step."

Ms. Zaib Liaqat (YP26-PUNJAB09) would like to move following resolution:

"This House is of the opinion that the blank box should not be included in the ballot paper. It is illogical because it will pave the way for undemocratic forces".

"This House is of the opinion that a uniform system of education should be introduced all over the country, amalgamating all the systems into one such system which would not only suit all the needs of the society including both religious and modern education but will also progressively overcome the problem that multiplicity of system creates. Moreover, the educational budget must also be increased and proper utilization of it must be ensured."

Mr. Najam u Saqib Memon (YP59-SINDH11) would like to move the following resolution:

"This House is of the opinion that the government of Pakistan should devise an environmental policy and make special efforts to shift industrial zones away from residential areas in order to save the precious lives of its citizens and other living organisms from the havoc of dangerous pollutants. Along with that it is need of the hour to initiate policies. I.e. plantation schemes, spending at least 2% of budget to develop environment friendly zones in each district as well as at union council level throughout Pakistan and by creating awareness among masses through mass media.

Mr. Amin Ismaili, (YP15-KPK05) would like to move the following resolution:

"This House is of the opinion that the upcoming elected government of Pakistan must take measures to deweaponize the country.

"This House is of the opinion that immediate step shall be taken for the repatriation of Afghan refugees. The Residential and Proof of Registration cards issued to Afghan refugees had expired on 31 December, 2012. As decided by Tripartite Commission (2 delegates each from each from Afghan, Pakistan and UNHCR) the refugees repatriation should have started by the end of 2012 but this did not happen. Refugee camps have become safe havens for the terrorist and banned outfits. These camps are producing man power for the TPP and outlawed organizations. Moreover, they are burden on the limited health, education, water and sanitation facilities of the host community. Therefore, government shall take steps for the removal of Afghan refugee camps and their immediate repatriation."

Ms. Sitwat Waqar (YP12 - KP02) would like to move the following resolution:

"This House is of the opinion that the province of Baluchistan has been very poorly handled by the consecutive governments of Pakistan that came to power ever since its annexation and failed to realize its value. As a result of which there is a growing insurgency leading to not only extreme dissatisfaction but also separatist sentiments among the Baluch people. This side of the House demands that the coming government take all measures to earn the goodwill of the people of Baluchistan and resolve their grievances."

Mr. Rafiullah Kakar (YP06-BALOCHISTAN05), Mr. Mateeullah Tareen (YP04-BALOCHISTAN03), Mr. Hazrat Wali Kakar (YP02-BALOCHISTAN01), Ms. Mehwish Rani (YP46-PUNJAB29) and Mr. Rajesh Kumar (YP61-SINDH13) would likely to move the following resolution:

"This House is of the opinion that the menace of terrorism and religious extremism poses an existential threat to the state of Pakistan. In the contemporary situation, there is a dire need for devising a comprehensive and holistic strategy against the faith-and-sect-based violence. While the Parliament of Pakistan has recently passed "The National Counter Terrorism Authority Bill, 2013? that aims to set up a national anti-terror body, a new strategy shall include, but should not be limited to, monitoring supporters of the militant groups in the civil and military administration, curtailing societal sources of support, addressing socio-economic causes of religious extremism and taking strict action against the use of violence. Above all, as a prerequisite for all this, an open dialogue on the issue needs to be initiated so as to challenge certain established norms and concepts and to pave the way for developing a broad national consensus."

Ms. Sitwat Waqar (YP12 - KP02), Mr. Umar Naeem (YP48-PUNJAB31) and Mr. Umar Awais (YP34-PUNJAB17) would like to move the following resolution:

New federal units of Bahawalpur Janobi-Punjab, Southern Pashtunkhwa (North-Western belt of Balochistan), FATA and Hazara province shall be formed considering the popular demand for their creation and their economic and administrative viability. Creation of new provinces will not only strengthen federal integrity but will also ensure devolution of power to the grass root level."

Mr. Reyyan Niaz Khan (YP23-PUNJAB06) would like to move the following resolution:

"This House is of the opinion that the recent democratic dispensation came as a result of great sacrifices rendered by the people of Pakistan. And for further continuation of the democratic setup in the government balance of power between institutions should be made in order to strengthen the federation and constitutionalism for the resolution of national issues. The house supports the efforts made by the all the political parties for strengthening the democracy in these five years time and expects the same response by them in the formation of new government."

Mr. Ummar Awais (YP34-Punjab17) would like to move the following resolution:

"This House is of the opinion that voting is a sacred duty as it decides the fate and destiny of the country for the next 5 years.

Ms. Sharmeen Qamar (YP43-PUNJAB26) would like to move the following resolution:

"This House is of the opinion that the Right of assembly and Right to protest are fundamental human rights. But at times such protests are turned into a mob of loot and arson by rabble rousing speakers and hate speech mongers with grave consequences for life and public-private property. This resolution asks the house to legislate that all losses incurred as such will be recovered from the organizers along with full enforcement of rule of law."

Mr. Afnan Saeeduzzaman Siddiqui (YP54-SINDH06) would like to move the following resolution:

"This House is of the opinion that the coal is the cheapest source of commercial and consumer energy being used worldwide. Pakistan is blessed with immense resources of coal and the need of the hour is to strategize their proper utilization.

"This House is of the opinion that the Supreme Court should limit judicial activism, since it is interfering in the executive's domain, and by doing so it is not only crossing the lines which keep the executive and judiciary separate, but is also affecting the day-to-day governance process. Moreover, it has political implications in Pakistan's polarized political context which lead to political instability and internal disharmony.

Pakistan is facing a shortfall of electricity more than 6000MW while our demand is 18000MW and the installed capacity 21036MW. Ironically, Pakistan energy supply primarily comes from natural gas which is 45%, oil 35%, hydel 12%, coal 6% and nuclear 2%.
