Islamabad, May 26; On the first day of the fourth session of
Youth Parliament, the Youth Parliament began considering
contours of a youth policy on National Identity.
The session that is focusing on two topics of National
Identity and Good Governance and Accountability
will see the members from two mock parties to attempt to reach
a consensus on two important issues from the platform of Youth
Parliament.
The first day of the Fourth Session of Youth Parliament began
with offering fateha for the departed soul of the
father of Dr. Donya Aziz, MNA and Advisor Blue Party Youth
Parliament.
A
calling attention notice by Ms. Zil-e-Huma (YP13-PUNJAB31) was
presented in the House regarding the looming danger associated
with Attabad Lake in Hunza that is expected to flood and erase
36 villages if the barriers break. The discussion ranged from
the weak spillover infrastructural problems and to the
problems related to rehabilitation of the 14000 people. The
House also believed that the administration is doing what it
humanly can to contain and manage the crisis.
The first resolution of the day was moved by Ms. Gul Andaam
Orakzai ( YP10-ICT03), Mr. Imtiaz Ali Khoro (YP46-SINDH09) and
Ms. Zile Huma ( YP13-PUNJAB31) asking the government to take
immediate measures to hold accountable the real culprits of
assassination of former Prime Minister of Pakistan Mohtarma
Benazir Bhutto in the light of the UN Commission Report.
Criticising the UN Report, Ms. Anam Javed Cheema
(YP29-PUNJAB11) said that the report was only an attempt to
malign all our institutions. She demanded that an independent
Judicial Commission must be constituted for an objective
inquiry into the assassination of Ms. Bhutto. The House
demanded action against the Law Minister and the Interior
Minister while criticizing the 3 member committee made by the
Prime Minister, saying the committee was eyewash and not meant
to reach to a substantial decision. The resolution was passed
with majority.
The second resolution of the day was moved by Mr. Hmmal Muneer
(YP03-BALOCHISTAN02), Ms. Asbah Rehman (YP30-PUNJAB12) and Mr.
Imtiaz Ali Khuro (YP46-SINDH09) which demanded that the
Government must take immediate steps to bring back General
Pervez Musharraf for trial. Members generally called the rule
of President Musharraf as a dark era in the history of the
country and called the killings of Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti a
criminal act.
Mr.
Mujib-ur-Rehman Shami,
Editor-in-Chief, Daily Pakistan, and former President APNS and
CPNE will address the Youth Parliament on the issue of
National Identity tomorrow, May 27, 2010 which will be
followed by an interactive session with the members of the
Youth Parliament. |
