Ms. Sitwat Waqar (YP12-KP02), Youth Shadow Minister for Foreign Affairs and Defence would like to present a policy on Pakistan Relations with Iran and IPI (Iran-Pakistan Gas Pipeline).

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.”

Ms. Sitwat Waqar (YP12 - KP02), Mr. Umar Naeem (YP48-PUNJAB31) and Mr. Umar Awais (YP34-PUNJAB17) would like to move the following resolution:“This House is of the opinion that a stable Afghanistan is in Pakistan’s interest. It is imperative that Pakistan should have a clear and defined policy disregard of the US towards post 2014 Afghanistan. Pakistan shall support an all-inclusive afghan government representing different ethno, linguistic, sectarian and religious factions. Besides, Pakistan Government must pipeline there concerns through diplomatic channels.”

Mr. Kashif Ali (YP51-SINDH03), Mr. Arsalan Ali (YP52-SINDH04), Ms. Sitwat Waqar (YP12-KP02), Mr. Ejaz Sarwar (YP21-PUNJAB04), Ms. Momna Naeem (YP31-PUNJAB14) to introduce “Minorities Protection Bill.

Ms. Sitwat Waqar (YP12-KP02), Youth Shadow Minister for Foreign Affairs and Defence and Ms. Momna Naeem (YP31-PUNJAB14) Chairperson Standing Committee for Information would like to present a policy on revisiting Pakistan’s relations with India.

Ms. Sitwat Waqar (YP12-KP02) would like to move the following resolution: “This House is of the opinion that the new Government of Pakistan should revise the existing Anti-Terrorism Legislative mechanism to ensure better enforcement in its Anti-terrorism courts and hold speedy trials of the over 700 terrorists in detention at the moment. Their swift prosecution and penalty would act as a deterrent for future potential terrorists. Moreover, as extremist militancy increases across the country taking various forms and subversive terrorist attacks, it should also be encompassed under the anti-terrorism regime to subvert the very roots of extremism & terrorism ie., the immoral exploitation of religious teachings in madrassas and mosques to incite young men & women towards terrorist behavior.”

Ms. Sitwat Waqar (YP12-KP02) would like to move the following resolution:“This House is of the opinion that our nation has completely lost its integrity of character. We, as a nation, are now blindly involved in all sorts of immoral, inhumane and heinous evils. As a state governs all the actions of the citizens, it is proposed that the state of Pakistan should adopt some basic and undisputable moral principles as governing rules and these rules cannot be based on anything other than faith of 98% of people of Pakistan i.e., Islam. And by Islam, we definitely do not mean the Islam of the Mullahs who have divided us in dozens of sects but the Islam bestowed upon us by our Holy Prophet (PBUH) and concluded by him in his last sermon in which he (PBUH) said “today I have completed your religion for you.”

Ms. Sitwat Waqar (YP12-KP02) would like to move the following resolution:“This House is of the opinion that the recent jailbreak manifests the ineffectiveness of life imprisonment as a reliable penalty for terrorists in Pakistan. This house demands that the govt. should refrain from renewing the moratorium on death penalty despite pressures from human rights organizations or the Taliban immediately execute every one of the 7000 convicts on death row. Not doing so is also a violation of the Anti Terrorism Act (1997).”

Ms. Sitwat Waqar (YP12-KP02) would like to move the following resolution: “This House is of the opinion that the recent two jailbreaks in Bannu (April 15, 2012) and D.I.Khan (July 29, 2013) manifest the ineffectiveness of life imprisonment as a reliable penalty for terrorists in Pakistan. This House demands that the Federal Government of Pakistan should refrain from renewing the moratorium on death penalty despite pressures from human rights organizations or the Taliban and immediately execute every one of the 7000 convicts on death row. Not doing so is also a violation of the Anti Terrorism Act (1997).”
