Ms. Shahana Afsar ( YP42-PUNJAB25) would like to move the following resolution: “This House is of the opinion that the media in Pakistan specifically the private electronic media is not following any set of rules or ethical laws. A considerable number of ethical laws have been framed by different media as well as regulatory organizations but their implementation is equal to none. There is a need that pemra designs a strong and unified code of ethics form private media in Pakistan.”

Ms. Shahana Afsar (YP42-PUNJAB25) and Mr. Abdul Samad Khan (YP16-KP06) would like to move the following resolution: “This House is of the opinion that no nation has ever progressed by forgetting or leaving its national language. Urdu language is on the path of decline and its importance and sanctity is diminishing. Immediate steps should be taken not just to revive understanding of its beauty and importance but also about making it the official language of Pakistan as stated in the constitution of Pakistan, in near future.”

Ms. Shahana Afsar (YP42-PUNJAB25) would like to move the following resolution that “This house is of the opinion that long term goals of prosperity, changing systems, bringing tolerance and others cannot be brought by mere discussions. There is a strong need to change the attitudes and perceptions of a larger part of Pakistani population to secure a better future for the society which can only be brought by sincerely reaching out to them”.

Ms. Shahana Afsar (YP42-PUNJAB25) would like to move the following resolution:“This House is of the opinion that the never ending family feuds in a number of rural areas of Pakistan continue to pose life threats to families. The targeted ones are mainly the male members of family and attack on them makes the whole family victim to such acts. Immediate measures need to be taken to ensure safety of people and to create tolerance among rivals. Promotion of education and initiating union councils in villages will prove effective in eradicating this evil from communities.”

Ms. Shahana Afsar (YP42-PUNJAB06) Youth Shadow Minister for Information would like to present a revised policy towards PTV.

Ms. Shahana Afsar (YP42-PUNJAB25), the Shadow Minister for Information would like to ask the following questions from the Honorable Youth Minister for Information: Q1. The recent incident of Jinnah Avenue Islamabad has on one hand showed weakness of administration and forces but has also raised questions on media's role. Honorable Youth Minister for Information is asked to comment on the role of media during and after those 6-7 hours and about his stance over what should be the role of media in such hostage situations. Q2. The Honorable Youth Minister for Information is asked to inform the house about his stance over mechanism of do's and don'ts for media. We desire to know Government's stance over whether the authorities or media itself will devise the limits/codes/guiding principles for media? Whoever does this, how its implementation will be ensured?

Ms. Shahana Afsar, Youth Shadow Minister for Information (YP42-PUNJAB25) would like to present a report on “Media Mechanism in hostage and other similar situations”
