Islamabad, April 17; Youth
Parliament has demanded that the Government and the
Parliament of Pakistan must take immediate steps to
introduce Constitutional reforms for AJK and
Gilgit-Baltistan to bring these two territories into the
mainstream of Pakistan.
The second day of the second session
of Youth Parliament began with the discussions on the
impact of energy crisis in Pakistan. The first resolution
was moved by Mr. Ahmed
Numair Farooq (YP21-Punjab01) asking the provincial
governments to play a pivotal role in the establishment of
their own power generation units.
The second resolution was moved by
Mr. Malik Rehan Baloch
(YP04-Balochistan02) which demanded that the Government
should abolish all illegal camps in various parts of
Balochistan. The members opposed the unjust demographic
change in Balochistan, Sindh and KPK. The resolution was
passed with majority.
The third resolution was moved by
Mr. Hassan Ashraf
(YP01-AJK01), Mr. Tauseef Abbassi (YP02-AJK02),
Mr. Siraj-Ud-Din-Memon (YP57-SINDH09),
Mr. Aamir Abbas Turi
(YP08-FATA01), Mr.
Najeeb Abid Balouch (YP05-BALOCHISTAN03),
Ms. Elwina Rauf
(YP10-GB01) and Ms.
Anum Mohsin (YP22-PUNJAB02) which asked the Government
to introduce Constitutional reforms for Gilgit Baltistan
and Azad Jammu and Kashmir. The members discussed that
Pakistan’s claim over Indian occupied Jammu and Kashmir
should not be compromised.
Earlier the Youth Parliament members
joined a Counter Extremism Workshop especially organised
to inculcate in them the skill to understand and define
extremism and its various facets and how to effectively
counter it as youth of Pakistan. The workshop, spanned
over two days of group exercises, discussions, simulation
and analysis, has been especially designed to assist youth
Parliament in understanding conflicts and extremism and
how to effectively tackle these in the society.
