At House of Commons with Najam Sethi, and Delegation from Pakistan at the opening ceremony of PYLC 2012

Youth is the future of any nation, and that is why sensible and visionary nations invest in the youth to reach the bright future. On the other side, youth can help nations to reach the national goals using its natural passion. NUPSA (National Union of Pakistan Students and Alumni) is an organization that is working to unite youth for the betterment of both Pakistan and the youth of the country. Pakistan Young Leaders’ Conference (PYLC) is the flagship event of NUPSA that takes place every year in Pakistan as well as UK. Last weekend PYLC 2012 took place in London where students and alumni of over 30 universities of UK took part. The agenda of the conference was to discuss problems Pakistan facing in the fields of Legal affairs, Health, Interior Affairs, Foreign Affairs, Media Affairs, Finance, and Education. A delegation from Pakistan also joined the conference as an observer.

Registry Session for Rayan in Cardiff

March 16th, 2011

Marrow registration drive took place at talybont social centre, Cardiff. Anthony Nolan arranged this drive and it was specially done for Rayan. See my post and some other posts here, if you do not know about Rayan and this whole drive. I got chance to be there as the Pakistani representative, in fact I volunteered for it. The event started at half past one and ended at six in the evening. In this whole time, around 18 people showed up for signing up and giving the saliva sample. Well the turnover was not so overwhelming and the reason for that is the time of the year this event is taking place. This drive was especially targeting the students, but at this time of the year students of Cardiff University are either busy in preparations of exams or taking them.

PYLC – Day 2 & 3

February 16th, 2011

This weekend was dedicated to the issues of Pakistan and the debates on them, which took place in Pakistan Youth Leadership Conference at Oxford University. I was there to represent Committee For Interior Affairs. There were many other committees as well, Finance, Foreign, Education, Legal, Environment, Health, and Women Empowerment. Women Empowerment is the new addition to the committee list of PYLC. It was a three-day event and day one I have already covered in my previous blog post.

On the morning of Saturday, Allah Almighty was very kind to us as we were enjoying a very fine weather that was very different from the usual weather of Oxford. Members of all the committees were heading to the respective venues for the discussion on the issues regarding their committees. Committee of Interior Affairs reached Harris lecture hall. That was the place where almost all of us were disconnected from the world outside, as there were no mobile signals, no access to the internet. In such environment, Chair Adnan Rafique and Co-Chair Tuba Omer started the session. Our topics were The Balochistan Issue, Domestic Terrorism, and Ethnic Violence in Karachi. We covered the first two topics on that day in two sessions. During one session, Mr. Imtiaz Gull gave a talk about the Balochistan issue, and in second session, Dr. Haider Ali of ANP joined us. About Dr. Haider I must say that he is among a very few sensible and intellectual politician that I have ever met.
