PYLC 2012 Televised Debate. “Is Pakistan Moving in Right Direction”

March 18th, 2012

In my previous blog post I wrote an account about PYLC 2012. On the last day of the event televised debate was conducted by Fahd Husain of ARY news for his show “Pakistan Tonight“. The topic of the show was “Is Pakistan moving in Right Direction or not“. There has been good debate on this topic where experts panel tried to ask some really burning questions asked by the delegates. I also had a question in my mind to ask but never got chance to ask it. However, many of my friends and fellow delegates got chance to ask questions, and you can spot me during the show multiple times (I know it sounds like shameless promotion). have a look at share your view if Pakistan is moving in right direction or not.

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.

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.

PYLC – Day 1

February 12th, 2011

Oxford Town Hall

Pakistan Youth Leadership Conference (PYLC) is taking place in Oxford University this year, arranged by NUPSA, and hosted by Oxford University Pakistan Society. And I travelled all the way from Newport, South Wales to attend this event. How I reached here is a different story and I might share it on Azlan Ka Blog. Anyhow, on the way I met the delegates who came from Pakistan exclusively for this event.  This bus carrying us reached here in oxford at 1:48 pm. All the delegates have been accommodated in YHA. Therefore, the first checkpoint for us was YHA (Youth Hostel), as soon as I got my room, I made my way to it and got ready for the oxford city tour.

A would be Engineer from Oxford university (I have forgotten the name of his college by now); Ali and Student of Physics Noor were our guides in this small tour of this city. This is not a big city, what I can say – it is a university, which has expended itself to accommodate many things, such as a city centre, some clubs, some shopping areas, and other places and notably the 36 colleges in it. Yes, oxford consists of 36 colleges and every college have their own separate system. The detail of this journey might increase the length of this post that might make it quite uninteresting for many. Therefore, I will be sharing the pictures here and will share my views and experience later (most probably on Azlan Ka Blog).
