Pakistan Heads IAEA (International Atomic Nuclear Agency)

Ansar parvez, Head of Pakistan's Atomic Energy Commission has unanimously been elected as the Chairman for the IAEA . Pakistan has had an opportunity to Head IAEA before once. This is the second time Pakistan has been voted as the Head of the IAEA.

Pakistan being involved into different nuclear issues including nuclear smuggling and a major threat to its nuclear assets from the militant groups residing with in the country was surprisingly welcomed by the international community and diplomats for being elected unanimously as the Head of IAEA.

Essence Of Individuality (Independence Day Message)

The word "individuality" holds very deep meanings within itself. The basic connotation to this word is the "distinctive character" of a person which distinguishes him from another person.

It has been 63 years to our independence and somewhat a struggle for survival . I know we have lost a lot in these years but why looking at the darker side of the picture?? One thing that we forget every time is that we saw, we realized and we learned from all what has happened since Pakistan took birth.The only thing needed is the implementation and it can be easily done once we all realize the "Essence Of Individuality", the strength we hold as an individual with in ourselves.

The concept of "Khudi" laid down by Iqbal clearly visualizes what we are capable of as being an individual. How beautifully he has depicted the potency of an individual through his words....

Khudi ko ker bulund itna,

Ke hur tuqdeer se pehle,

Khuda bunde se khud puche,

Bataa teri raza kya hai.

The war of 1965 against India is an apparent evident to it. We lacked in force and resources but we had that belief with in ourselves ,the sense of individualism that existed inside us proved all the odds wrong and yes we stood victorious.

We have a faction of examples put down by our own heroes in this regard.Let it be The great Quaid-E-Azam himself, Iqbal, Sir Syed Ahmed Khan or the lights of the Pilot Officer Rashid Minhas and Major Aziz Bhatti. These male protagonists believed in themselves and in their fate and therefore they proved to be the better ones with their epic acts.

The belief that we lost in ourselves has to be regained and with hefty of examples mentioned above we all know that its possible.We are the tomorrow of this nation. The time is right...the moment is here....Pakistan needs us...Lets stand up and make our motherland proud of us.

Pakistan Zindabad.

Pakistan's Contributions Must Be Recognized.

It has been a misery for under developing nations like Pakistan who have sacrificed a lot for critical global issues and when it was time to recognize their efforts, the world turned its back over them leaving them helpless in their own world.

Pakistan in particular has been a major victim to this cause, If we go through the global history of the past few decades we will find out how badly the position and the importance of Pakistan has been compromised by the international community which has brought nothing but hollow gaps in between the relations of the world especially the west with Pakistan.

I can put in frame various references to support my case at hand but I guess history itself is the best evidence we can have over this issue.

The war on terrorism presents a clear cut picture of what has been happening to the third world nations on the name of saving the humanity. Pakistan heavily contributed along United States Of America during the 80's but was left alone after the cold war knowing the after effects of the events which are now evident to us in the form of terrorism.

Hence after 9/11 Pakistan was again brought in a condition in which it had no choice then to fight for the whole world against the worst dilemma of the 21st century i.e Terrorism.

Pakistan yet again stood on the fore front for the world to fight against the militants and their malevolence. Not only this but Pakistan has been a major victim to this disease. Pakistan has lost 3,117 security forces members in the world's struggle against terrorism. According to the rough statistics around 30,000 casualties have been reported in Pakistan during war on terrorism and the suffering still continues.

Keeping in mind of what has been mentioned above one may find it quite astonishing it he/she sees a government leader from a country like United Kingdom claiming that Pakistan has been supporting these militants and is somehow funding them.

I believe releasing such statements will yet again start creating gaps in the bilateral relations of the west with Pakistan and will act as a demoralising agent for Pakistan in its efforts on the war against terrorism.

We have seen healthy realtions between the west and Pakistan during Musharraf's era and now we know it that its possible on the basis of common understanding.

There fore I believe that contributions made by Pakistan should be recognized equally rather then being criticized on basis of certain baseless facts given by the self proclaimed biggest economies in South Asia.

PAKISTAN ZINDABAD.

This time for AFRICA.

The FIFA world cup 2010 has finally taken a start off, and what could have one expected,this time it is not taking place in europe neither in the south or north american region, for all the football maniacs out there this time its for Africa.

The least expected South Africa is hosting this year's football world cup and being a bit critical regarding this year's venue,certain issues have arisen like small crimes, local weather and environment. As far as the crimes are concerned there have been news regarding robberies from tourist's hotel rooms, for which the government has taken certain measures. Secondly the weather around the country is quite cold which could bring in some health issues.

But yet again there are many positive aspects that lie aside by taking this year's world cup to South Africa which include lethal issues like racism and the importance of Africa in todays world.

Hence all we can hope for is another exciting world cup and this time its all for AFRICA.

The "K" Factor!

The caption speaks for itself. I have been working on the most commonly used term of 21st century i.e terrorism and have surely come upto certain conclusions regarding it. I under few more articles will be presenting those outcomes that I have extracted from the research I have made.

Now moving directly over today's topic The "K" factor. When I related this title to terrorism the first thing that struck my mind was Kazakistan and other central asian states as they have played a major role in exploiting these wild elements, but i wont be attacking the kazaks or uzbekis here.

There stands to be another group in Muslims known as Kharijites. I hope many of you would be aware of this term incase not then Kharijites is being regarded as that schismatist in Islam who were majorly involved in creating disputes between Hazrat Ali(A.S) and Hazrat Muawwiya(R.A), for which Muslim community still suffers. Kharijites do not accept the enitity of other Muslim sects and clearly regard them as Kaafirs ad consider their belief as the only sacred belief to Allah.

Taking the above scenario in mind if we look at the mindset of Tehrik-e-Taliban and its splinters functioning in Pakistan we will find out that they carry a very similar mindset. They do not support any sect let it be shiai-sm or sunni-ism. They have their own beliefs ands faiths which uptil now have proved quite disturbing and mind boggling for the rest of the society persisting in Pakistan. We have seen that what has happened in Swat even when nizaam-e-udul( Ordinance for peace) was being implemented there, we are still looking at what is happening in Southern Punjab and Waziristan, blood is being shed ruthlessly and humanity is suffering on a whole.

I think the current scheme of Talibans in Pakistan somehow holds vast interests over khariji ideology, as somehow these militants have declared a war over the Muslim Ummah, which was being done earlier in the history during Salahuddin's era when he had to fight the battle against the crusaders and these kharijites too at the same time.

The picture that worries me more is that this particular "k" factor is being funded and encouraged by some key intelligence agencies for their own interests which has and will be causing more and more problems if proper and firm steps are not being taken by the present government against it.

US will ‘do more and announce more’ for Pakistan: Holbrooke

US special representative Richard Holbrooke has indicated that the Obama administration would “do more and announce more” to assist Pakistan’s development in various fields.

Briefing the US State Department, Holbrooke said, “We are doing more, we will announce more, we want to do as much as the Congress will support, but Congress writes the cheques.”

The envoy praised Chief of Army Staff Gen Ashfaq Kayani for deciding to participate in the upcoming round of strategic dialogue in the US. He said strategic dialogue was not possible without the participation of the army. He also praised the Pakistan Army for its successes against terrorists in Tribal Areas.

Holbrooke described the agenda for the strategic dialogue as the fight against al Qaeda and improved bilateral relations between Pakistan and the US.

He said the US would also discuss with the Pakistani delegation issues related to the distribution of water and power. “Beyond the strategic broad-range discussions, we want to move into operational things like water, energy,” he said.

The US envoy also praised the government for arresting Mullah Baradar.

Holbrooke said the dialogue in the US on March 24 – to be led by US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi – “marks a major intensification in our relationship”.

He said US officials would visit Islamabad on the Pakistani government’s invitation for the next round of the strategic dialogue. He said the round of dialogue to be held in Pakistan would be meaningful and not a mere photo session.
