Eradicate Polio Several people have been killed in the latest wave of violence against polio vaccinators in Pakistan. The attacks undermine government efforts to eradicate the virus in one of the few countries where it remains endemic. Polio is a highly infectious viral disease, mainly affecting children younger than 5. It can cause permanent paralysis and death, but can be prevented through immunization. The virus is spread through contaminated food and water. Lack of proper access to anti-polio vaccination has led to a rise in polio cases in the South Asian nation. Pakistan, Afghanistan and Nigeria are the only countries in the world where polio remains endemic. The number of polio cases in Pakistan rose from 58 in 2012 to 91 in 2013, out of which 65 were located in the remote tribal region bordering Afghanistan.   In 1991, due to financial constraints, only 83 percent of Pakistani children had been vaccinated. Intensive eradication campaigns such as...

Why NOT E-Voting for Pakistan ? Pakistan is a society of people who can protest on killing of political / religious people, on rigging in elections but not for the real cause which is used to rig election in Pakistan since long. Yes I am talking about emerging technology in our Electoral Process i.e. E-Voting / Online Voting. While researching about it, I was shocked to know that our neighboring country India is using E-voting since 1999! It’s been 14 years India is using this technology and here we are using those ballots which are usually stamped by political parties & changed (for rigging). I didn't find any political party arguing or demanding to introduce E-Voting. It was first time PTI participated in Elections & they were expecting to clean sweep but after elections they said that elections were rigged. Reason is same that we are following ballots TECHNOLOGY! Why our political parties are not forcing Election commission of Pakistan to emerge E-V...

Why NOT ISRAEL ?? Politically and historically, Pakistan & Israel; both states were established on their ideological declarations: Two-Nation Theory   and   Homeland for the Jewish people Most of us don’t know that soon after independence of Pakistan, Israel’s first   Prime Minister   David Ben-Gurion formally contacted Mohammad Ali Jinnah through a telegram, But Jinnah refused it in hard words. Since on various stages, recognition of Israel either directly or indirectly is being discussed on various occasions. Even in 1948, current Morocco style trade office was tried to setup in Karachi but again unfortunately it couldn’t be done. Large number of Jews were residing in Karachi & Peshawar before independence but gradually it decreases and now not even a single Jew is residing here. A meeting took place in New York between Zafrullah Khan and Abba Eban, then Israel's ambassador to the United States, on 14 January   1953 ...

موجودہ  پیپلز پارٹی پر اک نظر آج کا اخبار پڑہنے کا اتفاق ہوا، پیپلز پارٹی کا اشتہار پرہ کر ہنسی بھی آئ اور افسوس بھی ہوا۔ وہ لڑکا جس کو شاید سیاست کی الف ب بھی نہییں آتی اور وہ پاکستان کی نوجوان نسل کی نمائندگی کرنے کا دعوی کر رہا ھے۔ ایک چوبیس سالآ لڑکا جس کو ایک سیاسی جماعت ورثے میں اتفاق سے ملگئ ہے۔ میری عقل اب تک یہ سمجھنے سے قاصر ھے کے پیپلز پارٹی بار بار ایسی باتیں کر کے اپنے مخالفوں کو باتیں کرنے کا کیوں موقہ دیتی ہے؟ تمام سیاسی جماعتیں ملک کے لۓ کام کرنے کے بڑے بڑے دعوے کررہی ہیں وہیں پیپلز پارٹی مرثیوں سےانتخابات کا استقبال کر رہی ہے۔ شاید پیپلز پارٹی والے اب بھی یھی سمجھ رہے ہے کہ ان کو شہید بینیظر بھٹو کے نام کا ووٹ مل جاۓ گا۔ اور یہی ان کی سب سے بڑی بھول ھے۔ پاکستان کی اعوام باشعور ہوگۓ ہے۔ اب وہ پچھلے پانچ سالوں کا حساب تو مانگے گے ساتھ ہی شہید بینیظر بھٹو کے قاتلوں کو ناپکڑنے کا بھی بھرپور مواخزہ کرے گی۔ اب اخبارو میں ایسے اشتہار دینے کا کیا فائدہ جس کا حقیقت سے کوئ تعلق نہ ھو۔ میں یہ نہیں کہ رھا کہ بلاول کے اندر لیڈر بننے کی سلاحیت نییں یے بلکہ میرے چ...

Chambaili     After “ Khuda kay Liye ”, I didn’t watched any Pakistani movie. Although “ BOL ” was a big hit as well but it didn’t convinced me to go to Cinema for watching it. Khuda Kay Liye was a super hit movie & bit controversial as well. Since that, I waited for 2 movies, one is Kaptaan which is yet under process & another one is Shahzad Nawaz’s Chambaili . I met Shahzad Nawaz 2 years back in Youth Parliament’s session. He visited us in some event organized by Youth parliament. I found him a very genuine, straight forward person. He also appreciates my speech during session, and from there we exchange our contact numbers & facebook ids. From Shahzad Nawaz’s status I get to know about his movie, since that day I have decided to watch this movie on cinema. Finally release date was announced and that was 26 of April Friday. We plan a Tweet-Up (Twitter Meet up) on 27 th April for Movie along with the assistant producer of Chambaili Moiz Masoor...

Critical Analysis on Jamat-i-Islami’s Manifesto Jamat-i-Islami is one of the oldest ISLAMIC political organizations of Pakistan. Although I am having serious reservations on Islamic organization’s participation in Pakistani politics, yet no one can deny Jamat-i-Islami’s existence & its work done in various fields. I am one of the criticizers of Jamat-i-Islami as my thinking is more secular or liberal. PS. (If you don’t know the real definition of Secular, then do contact me). For election 2013, Jamat-i-Islami presented brief 25 points agenda along with policies to achieve their target. While reading there manifesto, I realize that manifesto of Jamat-i-Islami is atleast designed by some educated & competent person unlike JUIF. Policies which are given on brief points are pretty impressive. Although achieving these tasks is really impossible but providing policy is really a positive change in Pakistani politics. آزاد ،با وقار ،خود مختار پاکستان دہ...

JUI-F Manifesto (Election 2013) This will be the very first time in the history of Pakistan when Manifestoes of political parties are given highest priority. After 1970 slogan of ROTI KAPRA AUR MAKAAN, this is the first time when a common person is looking towards political parties regarding their slogans & manifestos. Yesterday, I read Manifesto of Jamiat-i-Ulma-e-Islam (Fazal-ur-Rehman) group. As usual Manifesto was of Typical Islamic point gaining. Let’s have a quick look on it along with details: Main pints of JUI-F Manifesto 2013 1-    Pakistan Islamic Welfare State. 2- Islam official religion of Pakistan. 3- Comprehensive system of Islamic laws implementation. Point 1,2&3 are already written in our constitution but partially implemented. Only naming Islamic Republic of Pakistan is not the solution. I really don’t know what kind of Islam he will implement in Pakistan once they get into power. 4- Foreign policy – Equal relation with all co...
