Islamabad: May 06, 2009: The arrest of Pakistani students by British authorities and allegations of terrorism on them came under heavy fire in the first day of the Fourth Session of Youth Parliament Pakistan 2008-2009. Both sides of the aisle severely criticised the arrest and levelling of allegations against Pakistani students by the UK government and demanded that Pakistan should ask for an apology from the British government. “The “Islamophobia” has now turned into “Pakistan phobia” in the western capitals who are engaging in reckless, irresponsible and unethical actions against Pakistani youth,” said MYPs, which is resulting in maligning the youth, the country and a cause of severe stress and torture to Pakistan at large, they believed. The Government of Pakistan should take swift and concrete actions to assure the security and risk-free environment for the youth of the country. The MYPs also strongly criticised the role of Pakistani High Commission in UK which could not take up the case of the students effectively. The resolution was moved by Mr. Allah Ditta Tahir (YP34-PUNJAB15). In a joint resolution moved by Mr. Muhammad Essam Rehmani (YP51-SINDH03), Leader of the Opposition in the Youth Parliament and Mr. Mohsin Saeed (YP29-PUNJAB10), the attention of Youth Prime Minister was drawn to the deduction of up to 35% funds to the Strategic Planning Division and declared it as a conspiracy against the security and sensitive institutions of Pakistan. Youth Prime Minister Mr. Ahmed Ali Babar admitted that more than half of the population of Pakistan is living below the poverty line and suffering from problems like unemployment and thus Social welfare of the public should be the prime responsibility and priority of the Government. In this connection, deductions of unnecessary funds are a part of that priority. The resolution moved by Mr. Mohammad Abdullah Zaidi (YP-53SINDH05) that Government should take two – tier approach involving active diplomacy and & reorganising Pakistan’s role in the UN to find a quick and dynamic solution to the Kashmir issue. The resolution was unanimously passed by the house The Youth Parliament Pakistan is initiated and facilitated by PILDAT. Patterned after the National Assembly of Pakistan, the Youth Parliament Pakistan consists of 60 young men and women.
