Again, where is Starlight's apology to those people that they slandered as car bombers and PIJ or Hamas operatives?

I'm attempting, you know, gentle education about the racists you associate with.

It's no secret that every post on your blog is this same trolling bullshit. Nor that the -very first thing- posted features Starlight and Lazar. We know who the Zionists-who-now-deny-it are.

For your convenience, here are the people owed an apology. A fair few of them were 14 or 15 years old in Israeli non-judicial prisons.

Since you're so anti-Israel that you want it dismantled, I'm sure you can criticize their captivity by an occupying army and the way your good friend slandered them all.

Someone has got to explain the logic of lying about and engaging in smear campaigns against people who condemn genocide and support palestinians simply because they think Jews are people. Do you think it puts food in a child's mouth to lie about people online?

Fareed Gate,Bahawalpur The Name Fareed Gate was Given due to The eminent Sufi poet of the subcontinent Khwaja Ghulam Farid as he spent eighteen years in the desert of Cholistan and composed dozens of poems related to the beauty of Rohi. Khwaja Ghulam Fareed, a well-known spiritual personality of Indo-Pak and a popular Sufi poet, was born on 3 December in 1845 in Chacharan Shareef, Rahim Yar Khan district, a small town located on the Indus bank in Southern Punjab. The town is commonly known as Kot Fareedan (town of Fareed). Khawaja Ghulam Fareed’s poetry speaks of love, humanism, tolerance, peace and spirituality.He wrote two collections of poetry, one of them being in Urdu and the other one in many languages chief among them being Punjabi and Saraiki.He remains the greatest Sufi Saint of the Chishtia lineage of Sufism. Among his disciples were the Nawab rulers of independent Indian states. Chief among them were Nawab of Tonk, Rajasthan and Ahmed Akhtar Ali Gorgani grandson of the King Bahadur Shah Zafar. But he had a special liking for Nawab Sadiq Mohammad Abbasi, the Nawab of Bahawalpur State. There are many stories related to their mutual affiliation. He emphasized the local culture and even his most elated poems are written in the context of local culture. He introduced the word Rohi (روہی) to refer to the Cholistan and Thar desert in his poetry. میڈا عشق وی توں, میڈا یار وی توں میڈا دین وی توں, میڈا ایمان وی توں میڈا جسم وی توں، میڈا روح وی توں میڈا قلب وی توں،جند جان وی توں میڈا کعبہ، قبلہ ،مسجد، ممبر مُصحف تے قرآن وی توں میڈے فرض، فریضے، حج، زکوٰتاں صوم صلٰواۃ، اذان وی توں بارش تے باران وی توں میڈا ملک، ملیر تے مارو ،تھلڑا روہی، چولستان وی توں جے یار فرید قبول کرے سرکار وی توں ،سلطان وی توں نہ تاں کہتر ،کمتر،ا حقر ،ادنیٰ لاشئے، لا امکان وی توں #MyClick #RandomClick #GatesofBahawalpur #FareedGate #Bahawalpur #ThePrincelyStateofBahawalpur #TheWorldAsDaniSee #HMDanish #HistoricalPlaces #OldBahawalpur #HistoricalMonument #HistoricalPlacesOfPakistan #MyPakistan #CultureOfPakistan #WalledCity #InsideBahawalpur #KhawajaGhulamFareed #Rohi #RohiDesert #Cholistan #Desert #Saraiki #GhulamFareed #Poetry (at Bahawalpur) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_QEfhMp3nC/?igshid=gm7hu0dfikzf

Remembering artists who left the world in 2020 | Art & Culture | thenews.com.pk At the end of his life he had money and attention, and certain towns were known in connection to his name He was fastidious, and wore a tie, was photographed with brushes, with a bird. Under the subtropical sky he forgave the things long done. He hardly saw his children, by habit was self-absorbed. His atelier was sacrosanct, with the ocean for a view. When he painted, it was descent and descent and descent from the cross, and when he died the sepulcher was simple. His late-life love wept from another room (James Arthur) As the year 2020 ends, many are in mourning over the deaths of their beloved ones. The void they left behind may never be refilled. The art world too has lost some towering personalities whose priceless art, smiling faces and presence on the art scene would be greatly missed. Abdul Hayee: Born in 1948 in India, Abdul Hayee was one of the most well-known and celebrated artists of Pakistan. He never painted for money, but learnt art to teach his watercolor techniques to the next generation. He was the first artist to introduce open-air painting. He would paint landscapes, seascapes and cityscapes on-site especially on the dock yards and Malir along with his students. Watching him paint was a joy as the blending of colors, nimble strokes and command over the medium left one in awe. Saleem Akhtar, his student and friend, recalls that he was completely on his own; financially and emotionally – living alone. “Even at the age of 71, he had the energy of a teenager. However, once his eyesight was gone, he regretted not having a companion who could look after him. He was recognised by many as the most humble member of the art fraternity. He would always exchange smiles with the people he met and his door was always open for friends, art lovers, students and the needy. One day I found him lying in a corner of his house. He was shivering. He told me that he had had a fever for three days and had not had a proper meal. He said he had been waiting for somebody to visit him,” Akhtar says. He painted with the objective of reviving the art of watercolor painting. His art was as simple as his person. His landscapes and cityscapes were a narrative that he weaved by traveling to all corners of Pakistan. He always saw beauty in his surroundings. Hayee was a mentor, teacher and friend to many. To some, he was also a father figure. Khurshid Alam Gohar Qalam: “My only reward has been the respect with which I have been treated by the people, particularly my students whose number must now run into thousands.” Calligraphist Khurshid Alam’s death has saddened his many students, colleagues and fellow artists. Born in Khushab district in 1956, he mastered the art of calligraphy following an apprenticeship with the late Hafiz Yousuf Sadidi. He authored more than 28 books and taught calligraphy at the National College of Arts. He was honored with the title Gohar Qalam in recognition of his contribution to visual arts, especially his powerful calligraphy. His work conveyed the message that calligraphy was deeply rooted in our history. He was also a brilliant writer who wrote drama serials like Pukar and Musawir. He also wrote poetry and newspaper articles. His work is on permanent displayed at Faisal Mosque in Islamabad, Data Gunj Bakhsh shrine in Lahore and in the London Museum. It earned him many accolades. In 1990, he received a special award from the government of Balochistan and another special award from the prime minister. In 1991, he received the president’s award for Pride of Performance. In 1999, he received the Ali Hajveri Award from the prime minister. In 2005, he received an award from the foreign minister of Japan (for his 33 international exhibits at the Metropolitan Museum of Tokyo). Shahid Jalal: Shahid Jalal passed away at the age of 72 on August 18. Larger than life, Jalal was one of the prominent artists of Pakistan. He had many shows to his credit on the national and international level. In 1989, he had won the Punjab Painters’ Exhibition award. In1994, he received the presidential Pride of Performance award. His paintings were rich in details and his brush strokes spellbinding. He loved to capture the exquisiteness of life in Lahore that included flowers, carpets and gardens. An accountant by profession, Jalal had benefited from mentoring by Khalid Iqbal. Omar Farid: Known for his extraordinary skills, his art stood unique and distinctive. He was an under-rated and under-discussed artist in the popular media. However, his work provoked much discussion in the art world. He created deceptive figures that confused the viewers initially and provoked them to rethink their beliefs. On other occasions, the imagery was unpretentious and easily decipherable. Most of his images are tightly framed in bold hues and scream for attention. They might appear maddening to some and pleasant or gloomy to others. Farid’s own life was an open book. About a month before his demise, he had opened up on social media about his personal and health issues and requested his friends to continue to be a source of strength for him. Fasihuddin Qureshi: Fasihuddin Qureshi started teaching in 1993 at the Arts Council Institute of Arts and Craft. He was an alumnus of the ACIAC himself. He made a place for himself in the art world by producing a unique blend of abstract, non-figurative, Kufic style calligraphy paintings. His work was wide open for viewers to interpret. Large square boxes and geometric shapes remained a huge part of his work. Qureshi’s abstract paintings became the emblem of his identity. He was inspired by expressionism and fauvism. Among renowned art critics his style and painting techniques were highly appreciated by Bashir Ahmed and Imam Ali. Zahoor Hussain Multani: Zahoor Hussain had a humble but ebullient nature. He had benefited from mentoring by A Jahangir. Inspired by old masters, he continued producing commercial art including film posters, banners and book covers, particularly for children’s books. He had a long list of protégés who now dominate the art world. However, he preferred a simple life away from the limelight and devoted most of his time to art. Ghulam Hussain says that Zahoor Hussain was his teacher and a mentor to many. “His death has left us in shock… We still have to reconcile with the fact that the brilliant artist is not with us anymore.” Some other artists who passed away in 2020 were Tauseef Ahmed, Ustad Qasim Kamangar, Rahim Abbasi, Abdul Majid Khaskheli and Muhammad Shafi. Not much of their work has been preserved.

Bahāwalnagar

Bahawalnagar (Punjabi, Urdu: بہاولنگر‎), is the capital city of Bahawalnagar District situated in the southeast region in the Punjab province of Pakistan. The city of Bahawalnagar is the headquarter of the district and tehsil as well. It is the 54th largest city of Pakistan by population according to the 2017 census.. The old name of Bahawalnagar was Rojanwali/Ubbha. It was named Bahawalnagar in 1904 after Bahawal Khan V, the ruler of the Bahawalpur state comprising the present districts of Bahawalpur, Bahawalnagar and Rahim Yar Khan. It is 192 miles south of Lahore and about 120 miles east of Bahawalpur. River Sutlej passes on the northern side at a distance of about 6 miles.

History

Bahawalnagar originally known as Rojhanwali was a small settlement consisting of few huts and shacks. This village Rojhanwali is still in existence at a distance of about 1.5 miles north of the Railway Station. In the year 1895, a railway station was established and was named as Rojhanwali Railway Station. It was a junction between Bahawalnagar and Bhatinda at a distance of 113 miles, now linking branch lines Amrooka and Fort Abbas. Before partition, it was a very busy junction. Trains used to run from Karachi to Delhi and vice versa via Bahawalnagar. Passenger trains also used to run from Bahawalnagar to Fazilka, Ferozpur. There were a loco shed and two institutes meant for recreation.

In 1904 when Nawab Mohammad Bahawal Khan Abbasi IV, who originally ruled over Bahawalpur State visited Rojhanwali the people asked that with His permission they want to rename the city on the name of Nawab, The Nawab allowed them with pleasure and since then the city is named as Bahawalnagar. With the advent of railways, 40–50 shops with a population of 100 dwelling units developed at existing railway Bazar. Though this site was not fit for flourishing as the topographical features were not favorable and drinking water was unfit for health. With the introduction of the canal system, it has become a fertile area. The real achievement was the Fordwah Canal which brought almost the entire district under the command of the irrigation system. The town developed as colony town south of the railway station.

In the year 1900–1901, the first police station post was established and in 1902–1903 the first primary school was established. In the year 1906, a panchayat committee consisting of nominated members was composed. 1914 Bahawalnagar was recommended as Tehsil and the police post-Jweka was shifted to Bahawalnagar. A regular municipal committee was constituted in the year 1922 along with many members. The Assistant Commissioner and Tehsildar were then appointed as Mir Majlis and Naib Mir Majlis.

Education

The literacy rate of Bahawalnagar is less than 25% and the unemployment rate is much higher than 25%. As the literacy rate of this city is not quite enough but the government-owned institutions are offering their services to increase the literacy rate. The sub-Campus of Islamia University is also located in Bahawalnagar.

Sports ground

Haider Stadium is the biggest stadium of Bahawalnagar City as well as Bahawalnagar District.

Demographics

The population of the Bahawalnagar MC, according to the 2020 Census of Pakistan, was 126,617.

Climate

Bahawalnagar has a hot desert climate (Köppen climate classification BWh) with hot summers and mild winters. Precipitation mostly falls in the monsoon season from June to August, although some rain also falls from February to April. Over the years, global climate change has affected Bahawalnagar as well as any other place on Earth and below comparison charts from Weatherbase and NOAA show the difference in rainfall and low temperatures between 1990 and 2015:

PML-N have no objection over Bahawalpur province: Shahid Khaqan

Former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi on Sunday said that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz have no objection over the proposed Bahawalpur province.

Talking to media at Liaquatpur in Rahim Yar Khan district, Abbasi said that the PML-N has already submitted a resolution on the Bahawalpur province in the assembly.

The government did nothing during its rule and only tormenting the people, the PML-N central leader said.

The government of Nawaz Sharif addressed the power crisis and ended the load shedding, Shahid Khaqan said.

Incumbent government of PTI only restricted to slogans and political victimization, he claimed.

Abbasi in a media talk earlier alleged that the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) is being used for political engineering.

Abbasi who appeared before the accountability court Islamabad in hearing of the LNG reference, while talking to media said that the NAB uses only one method and that is to malign the people.

The former prime minister claimed that the accountability watchdog has paralyzed the country and destroyed its economy. He demanded for dissolution of the NAB.

He demanded formation of a parliamentary committee on price hike and dearness in the country.

The Islamabad High Court (IHC) had granted bail to Abbasi in Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) reference on February 25.

Shahid Khaqan Abbasi had replaced Nawaz Sharif in the previous PML-N government as prime minister after the Supreme Court had disqualified Nawaz Sharif on July 28, 2017 in Panama Papers judgement.

ECP to approach apex court against LHC, BHC verdicts

The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) announced on Saturday that they will approach the Supreme Court against the Lahore High Court (LHC)’s rejection of the nomination papers designed by the parliamentary committee and Balochistan High Court’s decision nullifying new delimitations of eight constituencies. Additional Secretary of the ECP Dr Akhtar Nazir announced this while addressing a news conference in Islamabad. “Elections will be held on July 25. Any caretaker government or authority can’t appoint or transfer any government employee until the general elections as per the Election Act,” he said. The meeting deliberated on the nomination papers and court decisions on delimitation, he further added. Nazir said that in case of any delays, the ECP can push the schedule by two or three days maximum. The top court is to be consulted immediately and expect directives from the SC by June 4. The Lahore High Court annulled delimitation which is why we decided to approach SC, future course of action will be decided upon after SC’s decision, Nazir added. Nomination papers will not be accepted on June 3 and 4. In a development that may potentially delay the upcoming polls scheduled for July 25, the LHC on Friday declared the new nomination papers made by parliament against Article 62, 63 of the Constitution and directed the Election Commission of Pakistan to redraft them. The LHC judge Justice Ayesha A Malik on Friday issued the verdict earlier reserved on petitions filed through advocate Saad Rasool. Challenging the section 60, 110 and 137b of the Election Act, the petitioners had argued that parliament was not competent enough to draft the forms for candidates as it was the job of the ECP. The petitioners contended that the candidates taking part in the elections had been protected by the new changes in the forms, as a result of which the voters would not be able to know about the candidates they were voting for.  The petitioners asked the court to declare the impugned forms unconstitutional. IHC nullifies Abbottabad’s delimitation Separately, the Islamabad High Court (IHC) also declared as void the ECP’s April 13 order and annulled delimitations of the Khyber-Pakhtunkwa’s (K-P) Abbottabad district while issuing verdict on a petition filed by the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Murtaza Javed Abbasi. The constituencies whose delimitations have been annulled include National Assembly’s NA-15 and NA-16, and the provincial assembly’s PK-37 and PK-38 seats. The IHC judge, Aamer Farooq, however, dismissed petitions to nullify delimitations of four other districts including Multan, Vehari, Silakot and Rahim Yar Khan. BHC nullifies delimitation of 8 constituencies The Balochistan High Court (BHC) on Friday also nullified new delimitations of eight constituencies of Balochistan and ordered the ECP to review the area and issue new delimitation. A BHC divisional bench, comprising Justice Naeem Akhter Afghan and Justice Abdullah Baloch, directed the ECP to review flaws in the newly issued delimitation and ordered to reorganise delimitation according to population of the areas. Hearing various petition filed by former MPAs and MNAs including Jam Kamal and Sardar Kamal Khan Bangulzai, the BHC nullified delimitation Quetta-I PB 24, II PB 25, III PB 26, IV PB 27, V PB 28, VI PB 29 VII PB  30, IX PB 31. Balochistan Assembly on Wednesday unanimously approved a resolution tabled by former home minister Sarfaraz Bugti seeking one month delay in election. Read the full article

Bismillah IrRehman Nir Rahim Assalaam Alaikum Ladies and Gentlemen! It gives me great pleasure to start today’s briefing with good news – Spring is not the only thing returning to Swat, it is also peace and prosperity. Swat held its first science festival from18-19 April 2018, with a huge attendance of 1500 girls and 5000 boys, from more than 130 government and private schools of Swat district. The students exhibited more than 100 science models, including interactive displays and live experiments, some involving robotics, hydraulics and electrical circuits. 1036 students created simultaneous extraction of DNA from strawberries setting the first ever record in national history. Our School children, the leaders of tomorrow, took a head start with solving their own problems by designing many innovative models, including a desi air conditioner, light sensor models to automatically switch on and off street lights to conserve power to fix the district’s own problems including improved road infrastructure, electricity and water management. The festival is just one of the many dividends of peace in the region and testament of the success of Pakistan’s operations which have eliminated all terrorist sanctuaries from the area. Now, let me give you a brief roundup of activities on the foreign policy front: Prime Minister ShahidKhaqan Abbasi is leading the Pakistan delegation to the 25th Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM-2018) in London from April 18-20, 2018. The participation in CHOGM-2018 would provide an opportunity to highlight the advances made by Pakistan, including its transition to a modern and dynamic emerging market, which is an attractive destination for business, investment and trade. The Prime Minister will participate actively in all executive and retreat sessions, as well as, a number of events being held on the sidelines of the CHOGM. During his stay in London, the Prime Minister will call on HM Queen Elizabeth II, HRH the Prince of Wales and meet the British leadership. Foreign Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif is visiting Beijing to attend the meeting of Council of Foreign Ministers of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization from 23-24 April, 2018. The Council of Foreign Ministers will discuss issues related to peace and security at the international and regional level and promotion of cooperation between member states and finalize preparations for the forthcoming SCO Heads of State Council in Qingdao. The Foreign Minister will also have a bilateral meeting with Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi. Pakistan categorically rejects the Indian allegations of “attempts to incite Indian pilgrims” on the issue of ‘Khalistan.’ By spreading such falsehoods, India has chosen to deliberately stoke further controversy around the visit of Sikh pilgrims, currently attending the Baisakhi and KhalsaJanamdin ceremonies in Pakistan. The Sikh community has been protesting against the Government of India for screening a controversial movie in India, which hurt their religious sentiments. These protests had started in India and other parts of the world before the Sikh Yatrees arrived in Pakistan. In view of the charged situation and the explicit refusal of the Sikh Yatrees to meet Indian officials, the Indian High Commissioner cancelled his visit on 14 April 2018. Indian attempts to distort the truth and obfuscate facts are unethical and regrettable. It is ironic that the country, whose highest officials are on record for statements against the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Pakistan, chose to indulge in blatant hypocrisy by twisting the facts. Indian atrocities continued unabated during last week also. Indian occupation forces martyred four Kashmiris including 21-year-old Aamir Hameed Lone in Kanga area of Indian occupied Jammu and Kashmir. The Indian occupation forces are using pellet guns with impunity on the peaceful protestors in the Indian occupied valley, which continue to blind the innocent Kashmiris in hundreds. Moreover, the brutal killing of 8-year old Muslim girl Asifa at Rasana Hiranagar in Kathua in Jammu region of Indian occupied Jammu and Kashmir has splashed the gruesome story of violence on Kashmiris in all parts of the world and has shaken their conscience badly. Last Sunday, our FC troops deployed along Pak-Afghan border at Kurram Agency came under-fire from the Afghan side, while they were on routine patrolling and fencing activity on the border. The Afghan border security forces, assisted by Afghan tribesmen, fired on our troops, resulting in shahadat of five soldiers. The Afghan border forces and tribesmen also got hold of the bodies of our troops and detained one soldier. As there were a large number of tribesmen on Afghan side, our troops exercised utmost restraint to avoid civilian causalities. Our side, via diplomatic and military channels immediately engaged the Afghan authorities to hold border flag meeting to help resolve the situation. A border flag meeting was held between the commanders of the two forces and situation was amicably defused. Afghan side handed over bodies of five Pakistani FC personnel and the detained sepoy to Pakistan. In their engagement, the two sides emphasized the need for further enhancing border coordination to avoid recurrence of such incidents in the future. The Special Secretary (UN and EC/SCO), Ms. Tasnim Aslam received the UN Assistant Secretary General for Political Affairs, Mr. MorislavJenca at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on 12 April 2018. The two sides exchanged views on regional peace and security situation. We are following the situation in Syria with grave concern. We call on all sides to refrain from actions inconsistent with the UN Charter. Pakistan condemns the use of chemical weapons anywhere by anyone. It is important to establish facts through urgent and transparent investigations by the OPCW. We call upon all parties to strive for an agreement within the OPCW framework and extend full support to the Organization. At this time our thoughts are with the people of Syria who have suffered as a result of ongoing turmoil in that country. We hope that all parties will work to find an urgent solution to end the sufferings of the Syrian people. Pakistan was re-elected on 17 April 2018 to the Committee on Non-Governmental Organizations (CNGO) for the term 2019-22, during elections held in New York. Pakistan was one of the four countries elected to this important body in a contested election within the Asia Pacific region. Now the Floor is open for Questions Question Reportedly, Iranhas handed over 66 illegal Pakistani immigrants to Pakistani authorities at Taftan border. Can you confirm? Second, Iranian Supreme leader has said in a statement that people of Kashmir will push their enemies back with the help of resistance, in the near future. How do you see his statement? (Khawaja Nayaar Iqbal – Daily Kashmir Post) Supplementary Question Reportedly, Iranian authorities have claimed that three Iranian security personnel were killed and many others injured in a firing incident by rogue elements from Pakistani territory. What are your comments on this? (Anwar Abbas – Waqt News) Answer When illegal Pakistani immigrants cross over into Iranian territory, the Iranian relevant authorities take them into custody and hand them over to relevant Pakistan authorities at Taftan border. Both the sides are engaged in strengthening cooperation on border management to stop the illegal movement of immigrants. On Mr. Khawaja’s second question, as we understand, the Iranian Supreme Leader in his statement has stressed on Iran’s support to the resistance shown by Muslims wherever they face tyranny, including in Jammu and Kashmir, where they struggle for realization of the right to self-determination. We appreciate Iranian Supreme Leader’s enunciation of support to the people of Jammu and Kashmir. After the recent surge of Indian state terrorism in Indian occupation forces, our Foreign Minister talked with his Iranian counterpart and Iran has condemned the Indian brutalities in Kashmir. International community is concerned about continued Indian barbarism and human rights violations in Indian occupied Kashmir. On the last question, I have not seen any statement from Iranian officials regarding the alleged incident. Question Why did Foreign Office not summon the Afghan Ambassador over the martyrdom of FC personnel on Pak-Afghan border? Second, reportedly, Trump Administration has warned Pakistan that it could lose US civilian aid worth tens of millions of dollars this year, if it did not do enough to combat human trafficking. Your comments please! (Rashida Sial – AbbTak) Supplementary Questions A US State Department official has confirmed that travel restrictions will be imposed on Pakistani diplomatic and consular staff in the US from 01 May 2018. Has US officially informed Pakistan regarding these restrictions?(Shabbir Waghra – PTV World) US Undersecretary of State has said that these restrictions on Pakistani diplomats are on reciprocal basis. What are your comments? (Ali Hussain – Business Recorder) Answer Regarding travel restrictions on Pakistani diplomats in Washington, yes, we have received official communication regarding certain measures that the US intends to implement w.e.f. May 1, 2018. The issue is primarily of reciprocity. Both sides are in touch and we are hopeful that the matter will be resolved. We have nothing more to add to this at the moment. On aid cut, human trafficking is a curse and the government is taking all measures to curb this. During the past years, the government has made significant efforts in all relevant areas to meet the standards for the elimination of trafficking by increasing investigations, prosecutions, and convictions. We have also made some progress recently, in enacting antihuman smuggling legislation. A detailed report in the context of Trafficking in Persons report 2018, prepared by the Ministry of Interior (FIA) on the measures undertaken during the past year, has been shared with the US side. We hope that Pakistan’s efforts would be acknowledged in this regard. I have addressed the question on Afghanistan in my opening remarks. Question Reportedly, Indian Air Force said that they have doubled the number of fighter jets compared to Pakistan Air Force. What are your views on this? Second, yesterday, Prime Minister Modi referred to the so-called surgical strike by India against Pakistan, in UK. He has stated that Pakistan was informed about the strike, once it had allegedly taken place, before the media. Isn’t India using the UK territory to lash out at Pakistan against diplomatic norms? What are your comments on this? (Essa Naqvi – Dunya News) Supplementary Question In the same speech in UK, Indian Prime Minister lashed out at Pakistan and said that India knows how to tackle the country that is exporting terrorists. What are your comments? (Anas Malick – Republic TV) Answer On the first question, Indian hegemonic designs are an open secret and have subjected the region to a compulsive arms race. Pakistan believes in mutual respect and a policy of peaceful coexistence, but our armed forces are well prepared and vigilant to respond befittingly to any threat to the motherland. On Indian Prime Minister’s statement, we have already categorically dismissed the farcical allegations of the so-called surgical strike, which is nothing but a figment of Indian imagination and a tenuous relationship with truth. Constant repetition of a fallacious claim does not make it real. The Indian Government is increasingly sounding like a broken record. Indian Government has come under immense criticism about the brutal Kathua rape of 8 years old Asifa who was kidnapped, held in a temple, repeatedly raped and then bludgeoned to death. The brutal, heinous murder is an indication of the inhuman manner in which rape is systemically used as a tool of subjugation in IoK. The horrific Unnao case where a minor girl was allegedly raped by members of the incumbent government and her father found dead subsequently under mysterious circumstances has stoked further criticism against the Indian Government and sections of the society that is not only tolerating these barbaric acts but even protecting them. The widespread protests against the complete failure of the Indian Government to bring the perpetrators to justice, especially when government is complicit in such incidents, has exposed the deepening fissures in Indian society and the government. This criticism is not confined to India but has spread to the whole world, including UK and Sweden. All this is happening even while atrocities and human rights violation by Indian occupation forces continue in IoK including the shelling, cane charges and tear gas attacks by Indian forces on unarmed innocent students in IoK. History is replete with instances of Pakistan being back-stabbed by India, rather than the other way around. It is India which continues to sponsor of acts of terrorism in Pakistan. Commander Kulbhushan Jadhav in Pakistan’s custody is the living proof of who exports terror. We have repeatedly seen attempts in India to externalize internal problems or dragging in Pakistan for electoral gains. Baseless Indian allegations are just sad political gimmickry, an absurd attempt to put on a show to divert attention from such heinous incidents and its abject failure. India should take care of the skeletons in its closet and not drag other countries in ploys to secure votes. Question We are witnessing that Afghanistan is employing constant aggression and pressure tactics on Pakistan, despite high level visits to and from Afghanistan recently. Has Afghan side assured Pakistan that its territory will be not used against Pakistan? Secondly, what are the reasons that US is restricting the movement of Pakistani diplomats in Washington. Do you think that deteriorating bilateral relations is the reason behind such move? (Shahid Maitla – ARY News) Supplementary Question Reportedly, Pakistan is also going to restrict the movement of US diplomats in Islamabad from 01 May 2018. Can you confirm?(Rashida Sial – AbbTak) Answer On restrictions of diplomats, I have nothing more to add. On Afghanistan, Pakistan sincerely believes that all outstanding issues and differences can be achieved through sustained and meaningful dialogue with the Afghan authorities. The recent visit of our Prime Minister was a reflection of this spirit. We constantly raise our concerns of Afghan territory being used for terrorist activities in Pakistan, Afghan refugees’ early repatriation, rise in drug/poppy cultivation in Afghanistan and its direct linkage with war economy etc. with the Afghan officials on a regular basis. We believe that under APAPPS framework, a sustainable and long-lasting solution to the problems can be achieved by both sides. Question Pakistan has condemned the use of chemical weapons in Syria, but you have not condemned the launching of missile attacks by US and allied countries. Russia, Iran and China have out rightly condemned US aggression against Syria, but Pakistan has remained silent. Your comments please! (Zameer – INP) Answer Pakistan condemns the use of chemical weapons anywhere by anyone. It is important to establish facts through urgent and transparent investigations by the OPCW. We call upon all parties to strive for an agreement within the OPCW framework and extend full support to the Organization. At this time our thoughts are with the people of Syria who have suffered as a result of ongoing turmoil in that country. We hope that all parties will work to find an urgent solution to end the suffering of the Syrian people. Question Pakistan is following US policy in the Middle East. On the contrary, there is a misunderstanding between the two countries on regional policy especially vis-a-vis Afghanistan. Please clarify Pakistan’s position! Please brief us on Prime Minister’s recent visit to Saudi Arabia. (Salman Hashmi – Forensic Eye) Answer Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi visited Saudi Arabia on 15-16 April 2018, on the invitation of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, His Majesty King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, to attend the closing ceremony of the Joint Gulf Shield-I, military exercise, in the Eastern Region of the Kingdom. He was accompanied, amongst others by the Defence Minister Engineer Khurram Dastgir Khan and Chief of Army Staff General Qamar Javed Bajwa. The Joint Gulf Shield I exercise involved units from army, navy, air force and the Special Forces of Saudi Arabia and 24 other countries, including Pakistan. The multilateral military exercise aimed at increasing military readiness of participating countries. Pakistan participated with contingents from all three forces as well as its JF-17 Thunder aircraft and Pakistan Navy ships. The Prime Minister also held a meeting with His Majesty King Salman Bin Abdulaziz, the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, on the sidelines of the closing ceremony. The Minister of Defence, Chief of Army Staff and other select members of the Prime Ministers delegation accompanied the Prime Minister during the meeting. Regarding your first question, there is no confusion in Pakistan’s Foreign Policy. We are closely watching our national interest that is clearly defined. There are differences between our position and that of others, primarily because we hold our national interest paramount. Question During the recent hearing in the Islamabad High Court regarding putting Colonel Joseph’s name on ECL, the question arose as to what Vienna Convention states on putting the name of a diplomat on ECL? Can you confirm that court has contacted Foreign Office regarding the matter?(Mona Khan – Geo News) Supplementary Questions Has US officially contacted Pakistan for the release of Colonel Joseph? (Syed Mohsin Raza – Asas Group of Publications) There are reports that someone from Foreign Office has called the SHO of Islamabad police to order release of Colonel Joseph. Can you confirm? (Shahid Maitla – ARY News) Answer We are awaiting the outcome of preliminary investigations from Islamabad Police, based on which further actions would be initiated. I would like to invite your attention to the Articles 31 and 32 of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations 1961 which inter-alia deal with diplomatic immunity. He will be treated under Pakistan’s Diplomatic and Consular Privileges Act 1972, which gives effect to the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations 1961 and Vienna Convention on Consular Relations 1963. Question There are reports that some Chinese nationals coming to Pakistan for business purposes have criminal backgrounds and are a security concern for Pakistan. Does the Chinese Government share the details of Chinese businessmen coming to Pakistan? Also, could you give the exact of the number of Chinese people that have come to Pakistan so far? (Syed Mohsin Raza – Asas Group of Publications) Answer The line Ministries for your query are Ministry of Planning and Interior. However, let me reiterate that Chinese authorities are extending full cooperation on all matters. It goes without saying that CPEC has brought immense investment and economic opportunities for Pakistan. Question Reportedly, Taliban have rejected Afghan President Ashraf Ghani’s offer to take part in the upcoming parliamentary and district council elections. What is your stance in this regard? (Rabia Pir – VOA DEEWA Radio) Answer This is an internal matter of Afghanistan. Question You mentioned in your opening remarks about good news vis-a-vis Swat. We are unable to understand its relation to foreign policy. Second, what are your comments regarding certain reports emanating from China that state that Pakistani nationals arrested in China have been detained beyond the completion of their sentence? Any update on the Chinese women from Xinjiang being reunited with their Pakistani husbands? (Fida Hussain – Radio News Network) Answer In response to your first question, a major part of the foreign policy of Pakistan is to project its positive image to the rest of the world. It is high time that media in our part of the world graduates from broadcasting sensational and negative reports about Pakistan, to project and highlight Pakistan’s positive news. This sense of maturity on the part of media will be instrumental in shaping and changing the opinion of our masses. These are some excellent steps undertaken by our youth on their own initiative to get rid of some local ailments. We are proud of our youth and we want to share that with the global community. On matters related to Pakistani prisoners currently detained in China, we have given detailed response in our earlier press briefings. On your last question, as I mentioned earlier all matters of mutual interest are being actively discussed with China. Question Why is the Foreign Office quiet when an Indian serving RAW agent has defected in the US and is even sharing details of the infamous ”Friends of Baluchistan” Organization and how RAW has been systematically involved in the destabilization of Pakistan? Is there any plan to take the matter to ICJ? (Auon Sherazi – Such TV) Answer As an aside, India’s response submitted in the ICJ has been received in the Foreign Office yesterday. I do not think that there is a bigger example of India’s state terrorism in Pakistan than the apprehension of Commander Kulbhushan Jhadev. I will get details about your question and revert. Question Is there any chance of meeting between Foreign Ministers of India and Pakistan on the sidelines of SCO Foreign Ministers meeting in Beijing? Second, what are the prospects of Mr. Ali Jahangir Siddiqui’s appointment as Pakistan’s Ambassador to the US, as there are reports that the US authorities have not given clearance to his appointment? (Majid Jarral – News One) Answer On your first question, no such meeting is envisaged so far. I have nothing new to add on your second question. Question A Sikh Yatree woman, who had come to celebrate Baisakhi in Pakistan, has embraced Islam and married a Pakistani national. She has also urged the Pakistani government to extend her visa allegedly claiming threat to her life back home. Do you confirm this incident? Answer Please consult Ministries of Interior and Religious Affairs for a response. Question Regarding the Islamic Military Alliance, has Saudi Arabia shared the ToRs with us so far? Is there a decision on the level of participation by Pakistan in the coalition? (Ali Hussain – Business Recorder) Answer You may refer your question to Ministry of Defence.

Open Letter to ECP

May 31, 2017 - Karachi, Pakistan

Politics in Pakistan is rife with misogyny as politicians from all the political parties have been reported making sexist and derogatory remarks against female colleagues and women of the country in general. Most political parties claim gender justice as their utmost priority; however, none of those parties are held accountable for the internalized misogyny they often conveniently display in workplace.

Politicians from all political parties, regardless of the position they hold, have been involved in offensive behavior against women. On January 20, 2017 PML-F MPA Nusrat Sehar Abbasi put a question to PPPP MPA Imdad Pitafi, only to receive an invitation to his chamber for what he called “a satisfactory reply”. The television cameras further caught a UK-educated PPP lawmaker, Nawab Muhammad Taimur Talpur, taunting Ms Abbasi in presence of Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah. In another instance (PTI) legislator Shireen Mazari when protested against some of the points Khawaja Asif made in the Parliament was called a “tractor trolley” by the Minister.

On one hand political parties forge commitment to bridge gender gap, their evident misogyny is revealing about their mindset, the trend being whenever confronted by female colleagues with a strong argument, male politicians often take refuge in adopting offensive behavior against them uttering suggestive statements. Take for instance the example of MPA Shah Farman who was heard using expletives/abusive words against PPPP lawmaker Nighat Orakzai’s parents, besides racist comments when she pointed out gender discrimination in disbursement of funds among lawmakers.

Mian Nawaz Sharif himself despite holding the position of a Prime Minister is also among those flaunting misogyny with pride. In a rally he uttered derogatory and suggestive remarks about women who attended Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf’s rally. Many times PTI has been “accused” of bringing women into political rallies and allegations have been made against the ruling party of trying to discourage female participation by using regressive techniques of character assassination and on one instance in 2016 even sexually harassing women in a PTI rally intending to create disruption.  Unfortunately, only women have been blamed for all these incidents. No action has yet been taken by the concerned authorities or regulatory bodies to assert women’s equal right on public spaces.

The Chairman of PTI Imran Khan also chose to counter criticism against himself by bad mouthing critics as he once said in a suggestive manner that he knows how, all these women who’ve been criticising his stance on reserved seats, have themselves been elected. The leader of the opposition, Khursheed Shah when faced criticism from women politicians remarked that they (women) would ‘fall ill’ if they did not talk a lot. He also went on record saying that the Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif ought to send his daughter Maryam Nawaz back to the kitchen.

In another unfortunate incident sisters of PTI leader Murad Saeed were on the end of receiving verbal abuse by PML-N’s Javed Latif. The first ever woman to be elected in the province of KP was also aimed at by PTI’s Fayyaz-ul-Chohan who casually made vulgar remarks against her on live tv. During another TV show in 2016, JUI-F Senator Hafiz Hamdullah verbally abused Marvi Sirmid and even tried to physically assault her.

Politicians from PML-Q and other political parties have also been recorded in the past conveniently contributing to the sexist culture. Arbab Ghulam Rahim during his tenure as the Chief Minister of Sindh made this sexist remark on August 27, 2007, that a “woman’s rule is a curse from which one should protect oneself”

This being an evidence of the fact that the issue of misogyny in politics requires extra effort that goes beyond demanding a simple apology from the perpetrator. Women are still already underrepresented in the Parliament, misogyny and abuse is further putting them off politics. It is duty of the State to make this society a safer place for women. The Women’s Action Forum believes the State has miserably failed in providing equal protection to all its citizens as is evident by the statement of Mian Nawaz Sharif who chose to rather institutionalize misogyny while holding the position of a Prime Minister.

Parliament is a model for society and our male parliamentarians making derogatory remarks against female colleagues reflect on society. Hence the need for the Parliament to model plural, equal and peaceful social relations is desperate. There is a dire need to evolve a code of ethics for all registered parties operating in the country, therefore, Women’s Action Forum demands ECP to intervene in the matter and introduce commitment to gender justice in Codes of Conduct and strict action for non-compliance to ensure safer environment for women in politics. WAF further demands that all political parties take immediate action to ensure their election manifesto includes protection of our democratic values and constitutional rights of non-discrimination.

Sincerely,

Women’s Action Forum Karachi

Seven Additional SEZs Recommended For Punjab

Special Economic Zones Authority (SEZA) has recommended seven additional SEZs for approval to operate in Punjab with an estimated investment size to be around Rs 27 billion (USD 194 Million) to attract manufacturing concerns, leading to import substitution and creation of around 400,000 direct and indirect jobs.

Special Economic Zones Authority (SEZA) has recommended seven additional SEZs for approval to operate in Punjab with an estimated investment size to be around Rs 27 billion (USD 194 Million) to attract manufacturing concerns, leading to import substitution and creation of around 400,000 direct and indirect jobs.

In this connection, Provincial Minister for Industries, Commerce and Investment Mian Aslam Iqbal chaired a meeting of SEZA Board here at Punjab Board of Investment and Trade (PBIT) .

The minister said the government was playing pivotal role for industrialization and aim of the meeting was to review and forward the seven SEZ applications to the Approval Committee.

The PBIT played key role in drafting, evaluating the proposals of these Industrial Parks for declaration as SEZs.

The board of SEZA Punjab considered proposals for approval of these Seven Industrial Parks/Projects as Special Economic Zones in Punjab, which were deliberated in detail and unanimously approved for further submission to Board of Approvals for final declaration.

The list of priority Special Economic Zones (SEZs) included: Rahim Yar Khan Industrial Estate, Bhalwal Industrial Estate, Vehari Industrial Estate by PIEDMIC, Rachna Industrial Park by National Industrial Parks, North Star Textiles Ltd (Zaamin Group), Roshan Sun Tao Paper Mills Ltd and Frontier Oil Company (Frontier Works Organisation).

Mian Aslam Iqbal said that setting up of these seven SEZs would definitely result in increasing trade, job creation and effective administration of the industries.

SEZA would put in place a one window operation and the respective provincial governments would delegate authority for implementing labour, environment and other laws and for collection of local and provincial taxes or would depute representatives of their respective departments in SEZA office.

The benefits under the SEZ law would be provided to all the industrialists investing in these zones which included a one-time exemption from customs duties and taxes for all capital goods imported into Pakistan. There would also be exemption from all taxes on income for a period of ten years, immediate access to high-quality infrastructure, uninterrupted power supply, public facilities and support services to all the industrialists in these SEZs.

The PBIT/SEZA Punjab was endeavouring to promote incentives offered by the SEZ law by providing guidance to the prospective investors, receive and review applications and lease with the Federal government on pertinent matters in the interest of public and private sectors.

The meeting was attended by MPA Muhammad Ashraf Khan Rind, MPA Sahibzada Muhammad Gazain Abbasi, PBIT CEO Jahanzeb Burana, Mian Misbahur Rehman, Tanveer Ashraf Kaira, Lahore Chamber of Commerce & Industry (LCCI) President Almas Hyder and representatives from different departments which included Communication & Works, Industries, Commerce & Investment, Finance, Planning & Development, Agriculture and Livestock & Dairy Development Department.
