Second Session
(25-04-2013)

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.”

Second Session
(26-04-2013)

Mr. Hasham Malik (YP09-ICT01), Ms. Mehwish Rani (YP46-PUNJAB29), Ms. Bushra Iqbal Rao (YP60-SINDH12), Mr. Muhammad Faizan Idrees (YP36-PUNJAB19) and Mr. Junaid Ashraf (YP01-AJK01) would like to move the following resolution: “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.  Therefore, the judiciary should exercise judicial restraint and let the executive work and deliver on its own, and instead should focus on providing speedy justice to all and sundry, without a bias towards a few chosen cases.”

Third Session
(03-07-2013)

Mr. Rafiullah Kakar (YP06-BALOCHISTAN05), Mr. Mateeullah Tareen (YP04-BALOCHISTAN03), Mr. Ahmed Salman Zafar (YP24-BALOCHISTAN07), Ms. Mehwish Rani (YP46-PUNJAB29) and Mr. Inam Ullah Marwat (YP14-KP04) would like to move the following resolution: “This House is of the opinion that the recent wave of terrorist attacks across the country reveals the alarmingly growing strength of the militants on one hand and the ignominious apathy and indecisiveness of the government and the political forces on other hand. Even more perturbing and worrisome is the fact that we, as a nation, continue to live in a state of denial, without realizing the severity of the threat posed by terrorism. This House calls upon the government to devise a clear-cut and well-defined approach regarding terrorism. It is the time to bell the cat and rescue this country and its people from the menace of terrorism.”

Fourth Session
(28-08-2013)

Mr. Rafiullah Kakar (YP06-BALOCHISTAN05), Mr. Mateeullah Tareen (YP04-BALOCHISTAN03),Ms. Mehwish Rani (YP46-PUNJAB29) and Mr. Hazrat Wali Kakar (YP02-BALOCHISTAN01) would like to move the following resolution: “This House applauds the recent decision of the Defense Committee of the Cabinet (DCC) to hold negotiations only with those militants who lay down their arms and renounce violence. Marking a pragmatic change in government's traditional approach—which was confused at best, the decision to use force against militants who refuse to lay down arms will go a long way in effectively countering the menace of terrorism and establishing the writ of the state.”
