Positivity Instead of Despair; Pakistan Day under the shadow of corona virus by Senator A. Rehman Malik

We are a nation of crisis; from the day of independence, we have been facing crisis after crisis and yet, God-willing, we manage to overcome all of them.

We faced terrible times during the phase of terrorism and lost numerous lives, yet somehow, we managed to get out of it.

In the history of Pakistan, the Lahore Resolution (March 23) signifies the landmark decision for the establishment of a separate homeland for the Muslims of British India. The resolution, passed in the annual session of the All-India Muslim League held in Lahore from March 22-24 in 1940, is a landmark document of Pakistan’s history.

Initially, Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah was himself not in favour of making a separate nation, but after the general elections of 1937, when Congress won and formed a government without any coalition, he changed his mind. That is when the Muslims of India saw the attitude of Hindus towards them, which was very negative. In schools, every student was supposed to salute the flag of Congress and they were forced to say “band-e-mataram”; this was implemented on Muslim students as well. There were a lot of similar factors as well which revealed the true nature of Congress and its tyrannical rule on the Muslim leadership. This made clear to Mr Jinnah that a separate nation was needed for Muslims. This brought the two-nation theory in the mind of our Quaid.

The Lahore Resolution, popularly described as the Pakistan Resolution, marked the transformation of the Muslim minority in British India into a nation. The resolution was written by Mohammad Zafarullah Khan and presented by AK Fazl-ul-Haq.At the time, the word “Pakistan” was not used for the nation, but a separate homeland was demanded nonetheless. The reason why this day holds such significance among the days of the Pakistan Movement is that this was the first time when the Muslims of India actually demanded a separate country.

The Resolution addressed the Muslim question in the political and constitutional context of British India as well as the course of action to be adopted by the Muslim League to secure Muslim rights and interests with reference to their identity.

Although the demand for a separate homeland was drafted on March 23, 1940, the idea that became the driving force behind it was addressed by Allama Iqbal in Allahabad (British India) 10 years ago on the afternoon of Monday, December 29, 1930. In his address, he laid emphasis on the rights of Muslims and the need for a separate nation for them as they were different from Hindus on the basis of customs, religion, traditions, thoughts, and mind. This was true especially for the ones residing in the northwest regions of the Subcontinent; which is now officially Pakistan and adjoining areas like Indian Occupied Kashmir and Punjab (India).

He explained how Islam was the determining factor in the life of Indian Muslims and unless Muslims were considered as a nation and their rights were protected, it was impossible to establish peace and order in the land because of the difference in religion and culture of these two nations makes them unable to live together.

Iqbal also proposed that Punjab, North West Frontier province, Balochistan, and Sindh should be converted into one state. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that Iqbal was the conceptual founder of Pakistan. He not only proposed the idea of a separate homeland for the Muslims of Sub-continent but also tried to wake up the whole Muslim Ummah by his visionary and philosophical ideas through his poetry.

I feel lucky to belong to his city, Sialkot and to have done my graduation from the very colleges while sitting in the same rooms where this great poet got his education. One of my class fellows used to live where Iqbal’s ancestral house was located near Mohalla Imam Sahib, I used to get a chance to see the house every now and then. I had the chance to hear about his quick and witty responses from his very old associates. Today, while writing on this subject of Lahore Resolution, I have been honoured to get some pieces of Iqbal’s writing which have never been made public, from his grandson Senator Waleed Iqbal.

Before Quaid-e-Azam changed his mind over the idea of two nations, it was again Allama Iqbal who sent the following letter to him mentioning the ill intentions of Hindus against Muslims which was made clear by the outcome of the elections.

“The League will have to finally decide whether it will remain a body representing the upper classes of Indian Muslims or Muslim masses who have so far, with good reason, taken no interest in it. Personally, I believe that a political organisation which gives no promise of improving the lot of the average Muslim cannot attract our masses.” -Allama Iqbal’s letter to Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah dated 28th May 1937.

What follows is another quote from the same letter of Iqbal to Jinnah:

“For Islam, the acceptance of social democracy in some suitable form and consistent with the legal principles of Islam is not a revolution but a return to the original purity of Islam. The modern problems, therefore, are far easier to solve for Muslims than for the Hindus. But as I have said above, in order to make it possible for Muslim India to solve problems, it is necessary to redistribute the country and to provide one or more Muslim states with absolute majorities. Don’t you think that the time for such a demand has already arrived?”

I am greatly thankful to Senator Waleed for giving me these original extracts which indicate that your grandfather; Allama Iqbal convinced our Quaidto work towards making the two-nation theory a reality. I once, went to pay my honour and regards in the house where Allama Iqbal was born, which is only a 4-room house, a typical ‘Mohalla’ house where there are common walls and the walls have engraved alcoves for oil lights. Many of his belongings were intact in the house; I also issued instructionsto sanction an extra portion of the budget for its maintenance to return it to its original shape.

His grandson has also provided me with one of Allama Iqbal’s old quotes in Urdu from when he had gone to pay regards to his aging father in Sialkot, which is attached below:

My English professor, Dr. Khair Ullah, who was very old too, once narrated a story about Iqbal’s quick wit and presence of mind saying, “One day Allama Iqbal arrived late in the class and the teacher asked him ‘Iqbal why are you late?’to which he responded,‘Sir Iqbal (izzat) hamesha late hi atahai’.”

The above history clearly tells us why Hindus are still after Pakistan as they have not accepted us as independent country while our leaders laid their lives to give us a separate homeland to protect us from our enemies.

Biowarfare – Coronavirus; vaccine monopoly as an end-game by Senator A. Rehman Malik

Biowarfare can now be considered 5th generation warfare and is becoming lethal day by day. This is a voiceless menace, more dangerous than nuclear warfare as the use of biological toxins or infectious agents such as bacteria, viruses, insects, and fungi with the intent to kill or incapacitate humans, animals or plants is an act of war. Biological weapons are living organisms or replicating entities (viruses, which are not universally considered “alive”). Biological weapons may be employed in various ways to gain a strategic or tactical advantage over the enemy, either by threats or by actual deployments. This virus may be lethal or non-lethal and may be targeted against a single individual, a group of people, or even an entire population but unfortunately, it paralyses society. They may be developed, acquired, stockpiled or deployed by nation-states or by non-national groups. In the latter case, or if a nation-state uses it clandestinely, it may also be considered bioterrorism. This biowarfare is undoubtedly a weapon of war that acts mercilessly and even its creator does not come out unscathed.We are experiencing this today, with the coronavirus which comes from a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV). It acts fast and multiplies its victims very fast. It is a live virus and is now proving to be very dangerous for people and even states are seen to be helpless in its face. The big question is about where it came from, where patient zero is, is this difficult to trace and most importantly, was it reported from China, Italy or Iran first? The blame game between China and the USA has already started as both sides have strong points and if it is not investigated then this blame will not come to an end. I have no doubt in my mind that it is either man-made or naturally grown and hence we need to delve into the details to clear this matter out completely. 

The world wants to know the facts and I propose that a high powered commission is constituted through the UN and the WHO to investigate with TORs. These should include, the exact bioanalysis of Coronavirus (COVID-19), its origin and find the first victim, which is very important to trace the origin of this virus. Another factor that needs to be investigated is regarding the biological changes that take place when the virus enters the human body. Additionally, does the coronavirus bring the same biological changes or vary from human to human? The bird flu was detected in time and an antidote was found; let us see if there was any previous research available with some states as this is reported to be from the family of viral flu.

The novel coronavirus (nCoV) is a new strain that has not been previously identified in humans. Several known coronaviruses are circulating in animals that have not yet infected humans which are built in the immune system in the human body. I think the help from veterinary experts may be able to help with this issue. Let us discuss some man-made biological weapons based on the deadly virus.

Biological warfare agents differ greatly in the type of toxin or organism used in a weapons system, lethality, contagiousness, length of incubation, infectiousness, stability, and ability to be treated with current vaccines and medicines and the antidote is prepared before the biowarfare weapons are finally made. There are five different categories of biological agents that could be weaponised and used in warfare or terrorism. Bacteria – single-cell organisms that cause diseases such as anthrax, brucellosis, tularaemia, and plague are man-made viruses. Rickettsia – microorganisms that resemble bacteria but differ in that they are intracellular parasites that reproduce inside cells. Typhus and Q fever are examples of diseases caused by rickettsia organisms. Viruses – intracellular parasites, about 1/100 the size of bacteria, can be weaponised to cause diseases such as Venezuelan equine encephalitis. Fungi – pathogens that can be weaponised for use against crops to cause such diseases as rice blast, cereal rust, wheat smut, and potato blight. Toxins – poisons that can be weaponised after extraction from snakes, insects, spiders, marine organisms, plants, bacteria, fungi, and animals. An example of a toxin is ricin, which is derived from the seed of the castor bean. Coronavirus looks to be quite close to toxins. Hence it is possible someone has played dirty in the creation of this virus.

If we examine the difference between chemical weapons and biological weapons, we see biological weapons are most dangerous. Chemical weapons according to international treaties are defined as a chemical that inflicts casualties through its toxic effects including instant burns. These include incendiaries (flame throwers, napalm), smoke (concealing and singling smoke), and war gases (nerve gas, blistering gas, etc).

Biological weapons are diseases deliberately deployed (and often engineered) by one party against another. They are usually used to cause either casualty or to force the enemy to divert resources to counter the outbreak.

There are a number of conspiracy theories that spread regarding the virus. Now that many people are recovering from the disease, a new theory is floating around that coronavirus was created to sell vaccines. The theory that got the widest acceptance from all over the world is that perhaps some anti-China group created it. China got a big setback because of this virus and has suffered the most, hence China can not be blamed for the creation of this virus. It is a fact that China has been receiving threats of non-specific attacks. The timing was convenient as the time of the lunar new year is huge in China, probably the best time of year for such an action. The world knows that there is a cold war between the US and China and this happened at the peak of their blame games, leaving many questions unanswered.

If this theory was to be true, it would have been the best way to see China’s booming economy take a massive toll. People can’t show up to work, travel bans, stocks plummeting and New Year’s festivities were also practically canceled. On top of that, massive costs of dealing with the virus and travel ban on Chinese has also done a lot of damage. Another theory suspects the involvement of religious cult which is out rightly rejected in the creation of coronavirus. The counter blame games will continue between China and USA which will be counterproductive.

There is further fear that this virus can be used as a dangerous war tool if not listed in banned list for not to be used in biowarfare weapons and all members state or any other group should sign it. If it is used in weapons then it is going to emerge as a tool of bioterrorism and it will be too lethal for the future.

Let us see who brings the vaccine and who monopolizes it. This move will indirectly imply the end of this ‘play’, whether man-made or natural; in both cases, it's anti-human and is pushing the world towards irreversible loss. UNSC should call an emergency session to discuss it and also order a high-powered commission to investigate the origin and make the findings public.

A reminder – wash your hands for 30 seconds time and again, do not shake hands and in case of doubt, have your test done.

Man and woman march for mutual respect by Senator A. Rehman Malik

It was not pleasant to watch some of the odd video clips on tv channels and social media showing cross-firing and heated arguments among men and women which looked to be insulting for both sides equally. It showed lack of patience and attempts to get cheap publicity from both sides.

It is unfortunate to note that both sides do not have plausible arguments and I noticed a predominant element of disrespect rather than a sense of respect.

Let me clear this fact; no religion in this world allows men or women to disrespect each other. God created both man and woman as his best creation and made us the ‘Asharf ul Muklookaat’. Do we ever wonder why? It is because God gave us the sense to differentiate between good and bad.

He has also given us the sense to feel whether you are being loved or hated? We are very sensitive to hate or disrespect, because it hurts our sense of self-respect and hence, we react and the reaction determines the level of disrespect. Please think deeply and see even the sense to feel respect and disrespect is created by Allah as part of a consistent feature to keep our sense of pride intact. In fact, it is the sense of respect which makes you look different.

This sense of respect is not restricted to males only but females also inherit the same sense and both are blessed with sense to achieve it.

Respect makes the real difference between wife and husband, father and son, mother and daughter, hence the “sense of respect” is the main bond which keep these important relationships tied together. Even among the worldly relations, the bond between an employer and employee, a male and female or even between a teacher and a student, all are largely dependent on sense and level of respect.

World history is a witness to the fact that females are always treated as inferior which was unfair but modern history is treating the woman of today differently.

Having said so let us confess that while women are physically weaker as compared to men, but does it mean that men are now entitled to treat them badly or take their rights and force their wishes on them? No, not at all. Women are justified in demanding an end to the discrimination.

Let me raise a point here that women might be physically weaker than men but mentally and emotionally, they are much stronger than men that’s why they are known as the architects of our society – hence the adage “heaven is under the feet of a mother”.

Let us throw some light on the rights of women which Islam have given to them. A woman has a right to take “Khulla” if she decides to not live with her man and this is the power which no one can take away from her - not even the court/Qazi. Why? Because this veto power has been given to her by her Allah to feel protected.

If my Allah protects women then who is man to defy what Allah has decided, that we show love, affection and care for women.

Disrespecting a woman is not an option in any religion hence always respecting woman is the only option. In my personal view, women should not be humiliated or insulted on media or otherwise. She is your mother, she is your sister and she is your daughter and therefore she deserves your love and respect keeping the relevancies of your relationship accordingly.

It is none of anyone’s business if a woman in divorced and decides to remarry as it is no crime because our religion itself has permitted them to do so. That is the power given to both men and women to terminate the relationship if the sense of respect is missing.

In light of the above facts, if you think whether a woman should march for her rights or not, I ask why not? I say that let our women march for their respect and their honour -let them demand for their empowerment and equal rights in governance. Let them ask for stringent laws to save them from rape and domestic violence. Let them march to save the Zainabs of my country. I stand with you all.

In the end I have a piece of advice that abusing woman or man to be treated as crime and should be punishable for one year and lifetime ban on an appearance on electronic media.

I think we need to have such strict actions to reform our society and to create sense of respect for each other.

Let us not be un-Islamic in our approaches towards life and let us be enlightened by following the will of God.

All my dear women elite please march for your rights and I standby you in my humble capacity. Good luck to you for this noble cause!

Modi & Hitler, both guilty of genocide by Senator A. Rehman Malik

It was a bright day when I visited the city of Linz in Austria where I drove especially to see the birthplace of Adolf Hitler. I went to his village where I saw a brick house consisting of two to three rooms, now lying vacant. I spent two days in that village’s nearby motel to study the history of this mass killer in the background of his childhood.

According to some very old people of his time who had seen his childhood, he was a boy who spent most of his time in the nearby bar fighting. He was completely deprived of feelings, in revenge for the poverty that his family had seen and he had suffered. He was born fourth to six children, but the death of his siblings among which only a sister named Paula lived, made him isolated, introvert and lonely. He moved out of his village and went to Linz, a beautiful city which is not far from the lake, and then how he became Hitler is a matter of history.

During World-War I, he developed interest in politics shaping the Nazi ideology in his mind, so he applied to serve in the German army. He was accepted in August 1914 and deployed in October 1914 to Belgium. Hitler served throughout the Great War and won two decorations for bravery, including the rare Iron Cross First Class, which he wore to the end of his life.

He was basically born to be a cruel man that is why he gravitated towards the army while Modi also moved to an RSS terrorist center whereas his family wanted him to pursue his family life, but he chose to become a militant /extremist. After the war, Hitler joined politics and there he discovered his ability and command over debates, and speeches because his speeches were powerful and people believed what he said. Hitler joined the Nazi party and soon became its leader, whereas Modi left RSS and became the leader of BJP. Hitler promised Germany that if he became a leader, he would restore Germany to greatness in Europe.

In 1933 he was elected Chancellor of Germany, after that, there was nothing that could stop Hitler. On the other hand, Modi has given the commitment to RSS that he would convert India into Hindu state and promote Hindutva in the country. He had studied his ideal, Benito Mussolini of Italy, about how to install a fascist government and become a dictator, soon Hitler was dictator of Germany from where he engineered the World War II and what he did is known the Holocaust today.

Modi has quite the same past and personality traits as those of Hitler. Having being born in the deprived class the feelings of vengeance are quite similar between both which are fully unfolding with Modi’s actions. Modi picked the ideology of Nazis and replicated the same in the form of training with RSS militants. Hitler began with his slogan “Heil Hitler” with raised hands, whereas Modi started with the slogan “Jai Hindutva”.

I have discussed this in detail in my book “Modi’s War doctrine”. Modi butchered Muslims in Gujrat followed by Kashmir and now in Delhi, he reflects that same mindset.

Nazi’s Massacre of Jews in Europe by Hitler ended with killing of almost 6 million Jews in World War II. Additional feature introduced by Modi against Muslims through proxy wars is as under where you see the hand of Modi from childhood. Internal conflict in Myanmar 1948–present - he supported Aung San Suu Kyi, Sri Lankan Tamil Insurrection 1983–2009 - RSS was used, Baluchistan conflict 1948–present and RSS mindset with Mukti Bahani model and the Internal Conflict of Chittagong Hills was created by Indian RAW and Modi. In the Nepalese Civil War 1996-2006 RSS activists were used.  Now Modi, the symbolic son of Hitler is doing all that Hitler did to butcher people. Under consideration of the Modi’s barbarism in Gujarat (2002), Kashmir and now in Delhi, the world is now feeling the existence of Adolf Hitler after witnessing the unsettling similarities between BJP’s Modi and Nazi Party’s Hitler.

Hitler’s Anti-Jews agendas and the violent stances led him towards the bloodshed of hundreds and thousands of Jews shook the world, in the same way, Narendra Modi implemented a similar stance against Muslims and the world has witnessed the Anti-Muslim upholdings in Gujrat, Kashmir and now in Delhi. During World War II, the military branch of the Nazi Party named Waffen-SS fought along with the German Army to provide them a strong support system. Similarly, Rashthiya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) extended its meaningful support to Indian Army in 1971 against Pakistan and also when the Sino-Indian war was being fought.

The similarities don’t end here. The Nazis wanted to eradicate the Jewish people while the BJP wants to get rid of Muslims. Hitler’s “Greater Germany” and Modi’s “Akhand Bharat” - Greater India, are the ones relating to their vicious criminal activities. The representation of Hitler’s Nazi Party and Modi’s BJP is also based on the same swastika symbols followed by the same lining patterns which make people wonder about the roots of their alliances. Both the party leaders Adolf Hitler and Narendra Modi even share the same gestures for salutation with bent hand, kept on the chest and tightly straight.

By the magnitude of killings, Nazis killed millions of Jews whereas BJP killed thousands of Muslims where the Nazis were racial/ethnic-based and BJP/RSS are religious-based. While Hitler had taken over much of Europe by 1944, the allies fought back and Germany was on the verge of defeat. Hitler couldn’t watch himself losing, so he holed up in a bunker under his headquarters in Berlin where he committed suicide by swallowing a cyanide capsule and shot himself in the head on 30th April 1945. Similarly, Modi has expressed in a few of his speeches that he had come with three cloths and hence he will go back in three-piece of cloths. He perhaps is hinting towards his unnatural death as there is a group of people within RSS including his Home Minister wants to replace him as the leader and as PM and he might meet the same fate as Hitler.

USA - Taliban deal: truce or another game in making? by Senator A. Rehman Malik

USA – Taliban deal is still underway after 19 years but such deals are complicated due to multiple underlying factors.

I as former DG FIA & Interior minister have been watching various phases of Taliban and TTP, where the main sufferers are the nations at both sides because of international proxy wars. There is no doubt about Afghan Taliban that they never harmed Pakistan but TTP on the other hand have played a major role in damaging Pakistan’s interests.

TTP was handled through a remote control against Pakistan and Qamar Javed Bajwa is the only one who actually identified the covert and overt supporters of TTP and played a major role in smashing both visible and invisible remote control operations.

It was completely the COAS’s brainchild and he has played a great role in playing role of mediator between USA & Afghan Taliban as the present outlines of the deal could have not been possible without his role.

Let me go through the historical developments and aspects of this deal’s processes.

In fact, the efforts for peace started in 2010 when Mullah Baradar was arrested by us and we kept him in safe custody for the purpose of debriefing. President Karzai demanded his extradition but we kept denying as we knew he would be killed by NDS in Afghanistan. This was the exact period when Pakistan started experiencing more attacks of terrorism from Afghanistan in Baluchistan and KPK.

In view of substantive evidence, we decided to visit Afghanistan hence PM Gilani, I and DG ISI visited President Karzai and talked to him about the growing terrorism on our soil, but President Karzai refused to accept that terrorism was being launched from seven terrorist camps on bordering area. I gave him undeniable proofs and eventually he helplessly stated that yes these are there but I am helpless in front of Americans.

The meeting ended on a semi-positive note and instead of handing Mullah over to Afghanistan, we allowed them the access to interrogate Mullah Baradar directly in the presence of our officers where the Afghan investigators visited my office of interior Ministry. The delegation was allowed to meet and question Mullah Baradar. The NDS was suspecting that it was Mullah Baradar and his faction who were responsible for the killing of Mullah Rabbani, the head of the Peace dialogues. This was proven wrong during the investigation based on a number of interrogation sessions.

The nature and times changed as by then, Mullah Baradar had become the main man of Taliban after Siraj Uddin Haqqani (deputy leader of Afghan Taliban Overseas).

Let me jot down the brief details of the previous such agreements before I give my opinion on the present agreement.

The first dialogue started in September 2007 and the following common statement was issued:

Parties concurred to a transitory détente that, in case fruitful, would open the way for a bargain that American troops will be withdrawn from Afghanistan and conclude a long time of war. (US - Afghan Dialogue 2007-2009).

President Hamid Karzai, as well as the British and Pakistani governments, all strived for peace. Karzai announced peace talk with the Taliban in September 2007, but this too was quickly rejected. (2010- 2012)

In 2009, there was a broad agreement for the war to end but how it should end was a major issue because Karzai was re-elected and Obama’s administration had increased the deployment of troops. In Feb 2010, Taliban’s co-founder, then-second-in-command and Mullah Omer’s deputy, Abdul Ghani Baradar, was one of the driving Taliban individuals who favoured talks with the US and Afghan governments. I met Mullah Baradar along with Gen. Babar who held a secret meeting with Mullah Omer for the first time. Mullah Omer and Mullah Baradar both had played a great role in this deal.

Obama made some serious efforts for talks with Taliban through President Karzai Govt which were declined by the Taliban as they wanted the US to withdraw the forces from Afghanistan but all in vain.

In fact, the diplomacy of Gen Bajawa took all the stakeholders on board and eventually, a well-chalked plan moved forward with Mr Zalmay Khalilzad, a representative of President Donald Trump. Khalilzad is an Afghan-US negotiator who served as US minister to the Joined together Countries (2007-2009), Iraq (2005-2007) and Afghanistan (2003-2005).

On June 7, 2018, as a notable development, Afghan President Ashraf Ghani and the Taliban announced an unprecedented mutual ceasefire during the Eid celebrations. The temporary truce ended on the Eid day.

In July 2018, American authorities subtly met Taliban individuals at their political office in Qatar, which was a sign of endeavors to resolve the war in Afghanistan by the Donald Trump administration.

On September 5, 2018, Zalmay Khalilzad joined the U.S. State Office as President Trump’s consultant on Afghanistan.

The Afghan Taliban agreed in December 2018 that they would once more meet with American moderators in Qatar to settle an arrangement. However, Ashraf Ghani and his associates were not welcomed to the talks and it brought major setback.

This was the time when Pakistan started playing a central role in an attempt to end the war again and gave an effective plan.

Afghan Govt announced Loya jirga from April 29 to May 3, 2019 The Taliban were invited but they declined and it got frustrated again.

In September 2019, the Taliban sent a designation to Russia to examine prospects for a withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan after the collapse of talks with The USA. On September 18, 2019, the Taliban expressed that their “entryways are open” to President Trump.

Accordingly, Peace arrangements started once more in December 2019. This circular of talks brought about a seven-day period ceasefire which has started from 22 February 2020. I sincerely hope that this will be fruitful for the peace processes.

Killer Coronavirus vs public safety by Senator A. Rehman Malik

People across the country are in a panic today soon after the news came that the government confirmed the first two cases of Coronavirus in Pakistan. The killer Coronavirus is now spreading globally almost unhindered. The stormy attack of the deadly virus will leave direct impacts on the affected countries whereas the states are nervous and the leadership is worried about their people. Countries that have been identified with a moderate number of patients have taken strict actions since new cases of this infection in the central Chinese city of Wuhan are being reported daily around the world.

In mainland China, 2,715 people have died from COVID-19, as the illness is officially known, while more than 78,064 infections have been confirmed, according to the World Health Organization. Hundreds of cases have been confirmed around the world, with the virus now present in more than 30 nations. So far in Afghanistan 1, Algeria 1, Australia 23, Austria 2, Bahrain 26, Belgium 1, Cambodia 1, Canada 11, China 78,064, Croatia 1, Egypt 1, Finland 1, France 17, Germany 17, Greece 1, India 3, Iran 139, Iraq 5, Italy 323, Japan 171 and 691, Kuwait 18, Lebanon 1, Malaysia 22, Israel 2, Nepal 1, Oman 2, Philippines 3, Russia 2, Singapore 91, South Korea 1,261, Spain 6, Sri Lanka 1, Sweden 1, Switzerland 1, Taiwan 31, Thailand 40, United Arab Emirates 13, United Kingdom 13, United States 57 and 16 cases are confirmed in Vietnam. The statistics released so far above show the highly dangerous trend of the continuous increase in the number of victims of Coronavirus across the globe which is risking the lives of healthy human beings. This needs to be countered properly before it affected more life and it is the basic responsibility of every state to provide life protection to its citizens. The impact of Coronavirus is highly dangerous as so far there is no proper medical treatment of this deadly disease hence we need to create awareness among our nation by educating the common people, training our paramedics and taking precautionary measures on an emergency basis. The media needs to move an awareness plan fast for the information of common people as Coronavirus is highly dangerous and has been given the name ‘anti-economy virus’ which has already given serious dent in the production and exports of China. Let us not be optimistic about ignoring the forthcoming challenge of Coronavirus which can only be avoided through proper measures. We all know that our west border neighbors have already numerous cases. Iran has not released the exact figures fearing low turnout of upcoming elections. I have a valid question to let people of Pakistan know that what guarantees the zero diagnoses of Coronavirus in Pakistan till today before the two new cases were confirmed as it is a very logical and thought-provoking question. I can say with information that certain cases have been reported from specific areas including diesel smugglers from Iran. This erupted in the first week of December 2019 while the news broke out in the international domain at the end of January 2020. How we can overrule that no patient had entered Pakistan with Coronavirus so far.

The problem of Pakistani students living in China is causing unrest among their parents in Pakistan. Has the Government ensured that all Chinese (and now the people from other victim nations as well) before and after coming to Pakistan had Coronavirus-free certificate in hand so that it could be produced at the airline counters before boarding the plane and also at the time of booking seats? Are there any proper checking counters installed for screening for Coronavirus under the supervision of a team of qualified doctors? Have all the hospitals arranged extra beds and measures to ensure the safety of victims and their isolation from others and have the airport authorities ensured screening for Coronavirus of foreigners as well as the nationals arriving in Pakistan? Have all the respective institutions and departments i.e. Pakistan’s health department, Pakistan embassy in Beijing, Chinese Embassy in Pakistan and Interior Ministries of both states have devised a workable plan for the safety of passengers traveling both sides? Have all the schools, colleges and universities present in the country educated the students about the importance of wearing masks and avoiding direct contact with people? Has the Ministry of Health introduced a Coronavirus awareness and management center to deal with this risk at both Federal and Provincial levels? Has the Federal Government kept the list of countries with confirmed Coronavirus outbreak into consideration in order to grant visas and entry to the residents of those countries in Pakistan?

Is Federal Government keeping direct and regular contact with the Pakistani students stuck in China to know about their wellbeing?

Trump’s visit reminds us of Modi as Butcher of Gujarat by Senator A. Rehman Malik

Mr. President Donald Trump, Excellency, Welcome to our region. I wish you had considered first to come to Pakistan which has sacrificed 70,000 lives for your war on terror but you chose to visit Indian Gujarat where PM Modi committed genocide of a 1000 Muslims and the crime the scene reminds of the genocide and crime against humanity which happened back in 2001.

Mr. President, it is the same city where 250 women were gang-raped by BJP workers and RSS, later the woman was burnt alive. Is it PM Modi’s guilt which has manipulated you, Mr. President, to be around this city of genocide and mass graves in this city? He has made a smart move by attempting to get out of his international title of Butcher of Gujrat and him will boast that President of USA is present at his place of guilt for his support, which is the head of the country which listed him among the top 10 extremists.

PM Narendra Modi, you cannot block the cries of the victim families whose women were raped whereas pregnant women were burnet live. Let the cries of victim families reach to the ears of President Donald Trump. It was inappropriate to bring the President to your place of genocide.

Mr. President, you have arrived in India at time when the violation of human rights in India is at its peak and Muslims are suffering in the hands of RSS extremists which are ruling through RSS’s life time member PM Modi.

This is the country of PM Modi where there is no value for human life and no respect for humanity.

Mr. President, it is the same country whose Prime Minister; Narendra Modi was declared in the recent past by America as one of the top ten extremists in the world after he earned the title of Butcher of Gujrat.

The USA had banned his entry into the United The states of America in 2005 under the International Religious Freedom Act (IRFA) provision of the US Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).

It is only a soft reminder for the people of USA that it was Pakistan who fought the war on terror with the USA and not India rather it supported the “shoe bomber” who was set to have a terrorist attack in the USA.

Mr. President, USA historian will write one day as to how Pakistan sacrificed over 70,000 innocent people and officers and army men for your war whereas PM Modi having done nothing in this war on terror is the darling of the USA.

Mr. President, Pak nation wants to know about the criteria of America for friendship and they expect your special attention and expect you to kindly maintain balanced relations with both India & Pakistan.

We are the one who has been always omnipresent when the USA required help from Pakistan and we do feel why we have been ignored by not giving us a chance to host you, Mr. President. We despite our all sacrifices are still treated as suspects and there is always a call for us to do more whereas PM Modi has emerged as the darling of the USA in comparison with Pakistan’s unparalleled sacrifices and he is not worried about any pressure of doing more as when he does help or perform for the USA.

We Pakistanis are forced to think that India is probably doing better by doing absolutely nothing whereas we suffer because of our ever-ready support and help for the USA.

Pakistan has always tried its best to help the USA but the USA, in turn, has always treated us as supervisors with discriminatory treatment.

The treatment of the USA to Pakistan is not acceptable by the people of Pakistan by any standards as when it comes to sacrifices of both life & properties but when come to giving out rewards then it is always India which is already declared a favorite nation by the USA. Pakistan has a question; Why Mr. President?

Mr. President Donald Trump! Do I need to remind you what India has done in Kashmir by scraping the Article 370 and to his own Indian Muslim nationals by announcing Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and National Registration of Citizen (NRC), which are discriminatory laws and against the interfaith harmony and UN Charter of human rights? The extremism is in full swing in India and particularly Muslims are the target of extremism of Indian government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

According to the authentic reports of Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) dated 14th June 2018 and 8th July 2019, so far more than 94,000 Kashmiris have been killed, 7,000 persons have been killed in Indian custody, 22,000 women have been widowed, 105,000 children have been orphaned and 10,000 women have been raped and molested by the Indian military and paramilitary troops, more than 8,000 people have gone missing in enforced disappearances by Indian forces

We Pakistani and Kashmiris are grateful to you for your kind initiative to have offered your mediation that has been turned down by PM MODI which seemed like a conceited attitude by him.

It was really surprising to see how undiplomatically he negated your statement that you were offered by PM Modi to play a role in mediation on the Kashmir issue.

It was highly undiplomatic denial contemptuous undesirable misconduct on the part of PM Modi which is an outright insult for you and your nation.

One cannot expect anything positive from the Indian prime minister due to his war hysteria which I have elaborated in my the book “Modi’s War Doctrine; Indian Anti-Pakistan Syndrome.”

Mr. President! You need to know that these two nuclear states are sitting on a volcano because of this issue of Kashmir which might spark war any time in this region can also drag the whole world into world war 111 which I am sure neither American people nor you as president of the USA would like to happen.

We still welcome you into this region and me appeal to you on behalf of my nation and ever suffering oppressed Kashmiris to press upon PM Modi to act on the following without further loss of time for the sake of regional peace.

1. It is the 203rd day of Curfew in IH Kashmir and Kashmiris are facing hardships and the killing of Kashmiris is continuing nonstop. Kindly ask PM Modi to lift the Curfew immediately.

2. Please ask PM Modi to announce a date for the right of self-determination as per the Resolution No.47 of UNSC adopted on 21 April 1948, which has been violated by Modi’s Government after it abrogated the special status of Kashmir under Article 370 and Article 35A.

3. Kindly ensure that the old status of Kashmir is restored and brutalities against Kashmiris by Indian Military are put to an end.

4. Press upon to withdraw the discriminatory laws; CAA & NRC as the oppressed Muslim of India are looking for your intervention.

5. Convince Modi to accept your kind offer of mediation in resolving the Kashmir issue with Pakistan.

The oppressed Kashmiris are actually looking towards to you for justice.

This region is of the view that he has invited you, Mr. President, to cover his odd actions in India and to hide brutalities in Kashmir.

Mr. President, kindly consider getting relief to Kashmiris who are under curfew and facing adverse miseries.

We are looking forward to your intervention Mr. President to get justice to oppressed Kashmiris.

These are my personal views and do not necessarily represent the views of my party.

Turkey – A role model of economic and political transitions -I by Senator A. Rehman Malik

While listening to the historic address by Mr. Tayyab Erdogan, the President of Turkey in the joint session, I recalled the history of his forefathers and about his great soil. He is the proud son of the soil.

This soil has created leaders like Osman, Kamal Ataturk and many more. The Turks have a very old rich history which you will know more about it when either you are in Istanbul or in Anatolia. Both cities have witnessed the real rise of Turks starting from the Ottoman Empire which emerged as mighty & longest dynasties of the history of Empires. It emerged as the first Islamic superpower which ruled Middle East, Eastern Europe and North Africa for over 600 years.

Basically Osman I, in tribal Turkish of Anatolia is known as a great warrior as he was the founder of Ottoman empire. The name Ottoman was derived from Osman, a bey (chieftain) from a tribe in western Turkey, who declared independence from the Seljuk Turks.

The Ottoman Turks after setting up their own government started to expand its territorial control by the successive leadership like Osman I, Orhan, Murad I and Bayezid I. While Western Europeans generally viewed Ottomans as a threat, many historians regarded the Empire as a source of great regional stability and security, as many great achievements were done in the arts, science, religion and culture are the part of their steps.

When Ottoman Empire was demolished, Mustafa Kemal took over the control on behalf of Turks. It was due to his efforts that the Turkish nation refused to accept the old ways and fought out to form a new and modern nation from the ashes.

The relationship between Pakistan and Turkey dates back to the generations before the establishment of the two states, more when the Muslims of the northwestern British Raj sent financial aid to the declining Ottoman Empire during the Turkish War of Independence, which was followed by the formation of the Turkish Republic and the Independence of Pakistan. As a result, both countries have enjoyed a positive perception for many decades.

I once had a chance to see the reserved museum, where the belonging of Allama Iqbal is still intact and people in Turkey really love Allama Iqbal and his poetry. This country has gone through various phases of ups and down. I remember visiting the home place of ruler Osman in Anatolia and how, his people were still proud of his deeds and bravery.

The modern and successful Turkey started emerging under the leadership of Tayyab Erdogan and his team.

The most popular leader in Turkey today is Mr. Tayyip Erdogan who has great knowledge of strategic depth and he knows the country issues and the past political problems very well. Erdoğan became prime minister when Turkey was a country that suffered from constant economic crises despite the fact that the rest of the world was doing fine economically. Now Turkey is thriving and its economy is still growing despite the fact that the world has been in an economic crisis since 2008 and the fact that many major and minor economies have been shrinking lately.

Before Erdoğan (and during his initial years in prime minister while he was not yet very strong in the face of the resistance by the totalitarian secularist establishment), Turkey was a country in which even wearing the headscarf in universities was forbidden and both Muslims and non-Muslim minorities were repressed by the secularist establishment and the secular-totalitarian Turkish elites. Now Turkey is a country in which people of all faiths are respected in whatever warped way the mendacious foreign media, under orders from Western intelligence services may portray the past and present realities of Turkey.

In the history of Turkey, i.e. after the end of the Ottoman Empire, this is the only time after Mustafa Kamal that Turkey has a leader that improves Turkey almost in every way: its economy, its internal cohesion and its treatment of citizens. Though Kamal Attaturk made Turkey modern yet no leader has been as successful as Erdoğan in Turkey as he came in a democratic way, that’s why he is regarded as the greatest leader ever in the history of the Republic of Turkey. The previous model of governance in Turkey was similar to that of Pakistan and there was semi-military Governance model and the army had its constitutional defined rule.

During his prime minister ship and presidency, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has increased Turkey’s GDP some 9-folds while that of neighboring Greece remained almost the same. Turkey has become filled with a great manufacturing industry in the past fifteen years, and this has been visible to observers who have experienced this decade and a half in some major industrial regions such as the region to the immediate east of Istanbul, comprising the Kocaeli province and some Anatolian districts of Istanbul.

Both President Abdullah Gul and then PM and now the president played a pivotal role and brought new model of governance by bringing back the presidential system where as president Gul formed his own party and parted his ways with TA.

PART-II

In his first year of Govt, in 2001 he ended “State of Emergency” (Olaganustu Hal) in east of Turkey. This increased the investments to the east, inflation rate decreased to around 7-10% that decreased interest rates and this boosted consumption in all manners and credit cards and consumer loans became available for the masses. Long term credits became available like mortgage and mortgage system became available after 2005-2006 and this helped people to build better houses, accumulations in treasury (dollar, gold) increased by 4 times. Long term international credits became available as before Erdogan Turkey was craving IMF for 1-2 billion dollar with high interest rates. Today, Turkey can borrow money for 30 years of payback. IMF offered 40 billion dollars in 2011 but Turkey rejected it.

USA did not like the rise of Tayyab Erdogan as a visionary leader and serious attempts were made to remove him as president.

On July 15th 2016, a coup was attempted in Turkey against President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and his Government by a faction within the Turkish Armed Forces that organized themselves as the Peace at Home Council. But the success of coup was averted by the citizens, the loyal forces and his own loyal part of the intelligence who mobilized on the street to save his capture as the plotter failed to gain public and political support.

He has more power now and he more administrating and political space which he is exercising very prudently and his result oriented approach is paying back to Turkey.

I have met him in my official capacity as Interior Minister while he was the PM in his office and during a couple of meeting during his visits to Pakistan. I found him to be very decisive in his approach with the issues.

I remember a meeting where he was with his Interior minister and the issue of illegal immigrants of Pakistan was at the rise, as per his instructions, his interior minister and I handled the issues by deporting the Pakistani illegal immigrants back to Pakistan duly financed by Turkey.

It is unfortunate to note that lately, an increased number of illegal Pakistani immigrants have been found roaming around the streets of Istanbul and according to latest figures the number has gone up to 80000 Pakistani in Turkey.

I hope the govt takes some solid action to bring them back, even some of them are those who have been pushed in Turkey by Deish in the guise of jobless persons after having them fully trained and using them on various operations in Syria etc.

I would like to express that Turkey is one country which has been helping us in almost all the fields including defence. Turkey and Pakistan laid the foundation of their security and diplomatic ties in 1951 by signing the Treaty of Eternal Friendship.

In the 1970s, Turkey and Pakistan provided both political and military support to one another. Turkey aided Pakistan diplomatically and militarily throughout the process of Bangladesh gaining its independence, and restrained from recognizing Bangladesh as an independent state until Pakistan did. Pakistan gave Turkey its full support during the Cyprus crisis, and provided it with military-logistic supplies. The Cyprus operation took place in 1974, when Turkish soldiers were responding to violence amid a Greek Cypriot attempt to forcibly unite Cyprus with Greece.

President Turkey stated in his address during his recent visit to Pakistan, how people of Pakistan helped the Turkish earthquake victims through donation a strong earthquake that hit the eastern region of Van, Turkey in 2011. A large number people gathered to lend support to Turkish brothers and sister from Lahore chowk. The consignment of relief items for the earthquake victims of Turkey was sent by the Punjab government via a special plane

His statements in the support of oppressed Kashmiris have given a new strength in highlighting Kashmir cause in the world. He also emphasized on the importance of the Kashmir issue for Turkey, with a clear mention of the country’s support to Pakistan for a solution. He said it by saying:

 “And now, we feel the same about Kashmir today. It was Çanakkale yesterday and Kashmir today; there is no difference between the two,” Erdoğan said, adding that Turkey will continue to support Pakistan.

I also had the privilege of presenting him my new book namely “Kashmir Bleeding”, during the official dinner given in his honor at the Presidency. He was very happy to read the title of the book and also promised to give feedback on it.

During his speech at the parliament, he also reiterated his support towards Pakistan in FATF by sending a strong message to USA by siding with Pakistan on FATF, Erdogan said:

 “I also want to emphasize that we will give support to Pakistan which is subject to political pressure in the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) meetings.”

“As in the past, we will continue to stand by Pakistan in the future.”

And by this statement, FATF will not be able to declare us Black from Grey list where it looks that USA may not like us to be out of grey list unless International pressure is mounted from our friends like Turkey on our behalf.

I am of the firm view that Turkey - China and Pakistan can impose a strong International political pressure block against those who are in favor of these three nations. I pray one day we will be an economic pillar in the world.

Tayyip Erdogan has also emerged as an Ottoman warrior, just like his forefathers and is defeating west on many fronts like the Ottoman Empire defeated the Byzantine Empire.

Now the world is facing wars and destruction in order to overpower the Economic Zones with multiple resources including water which will be yet another reason of bigger wars.

We need to examine what made Turkey better than us and what can we follow through their experience to make Pakistan as world Economic power which we can only perform by creating unity among ourselves to stand together to resolve our national issues. Let us also settle our internal fights and issues so that we can give the nation a new brighter life based on the example of the Turkish model.

For the eyes of his Excellency Mr. Antonio Guterres by Senator A. Rehman Malik

Senator Rehman Malik while welcoming the historic visit of the Secretory General UNO, António Guterres has stated as under: The Secretary General is the “chief administrative officer” of the UN that is responsible to perform all the functions that may threaten the maintenance of international peace and security of the world, entrusted to him by the principal organs of the United Nations. The importance and the role of SG is becoming more important as well as difficult with growing international conflicts and Non-ending problems extremism, terrorism, money laundering and bilateral conflicts resulting in wars.

There are numerous conflicts, the world is encountering for last many decades which are posing a major threat to peace and security of the region, like Palestine, Houthis insurgency in Yemen, Rohingyan Muslims in Myanmar, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Daesh, blocking nuclear war between North Korea and the USA and the cold war between China and the USA. I, however, would like to draw the kind attention of His Excellency Mr. Antonio Guterres, Secretary-General, UNO in his capacity as being the “world moderator”, to the most dangerous conflict in this region which can lead to nuclear war. Kashmir issue which lies with the UNSC since 1948.

Kashmir issue is one of those major issues that need the UN’s attention as it holds the position of a backbone to Pakistan. Despite UN authorities being the supervisors of Kashmir conflict between India and Pakistan, all the human rights violations by India in IOK largely go unpunished by the UN. The world knows Indian Govt under Prime Minister Narendra Modi is moving fast towards its actual agenda on Kashmir of unleashing ethnic cleansing of the Muslim majority in Kashmir; by mass-murdering and settling the RSS trained families in Kashmir. According to Human Rights Report, from January 1989 till 31st January 2018, 94,644 innocent Kashmiris have been killed, 7, 099 have been killed in custody, 11,042 women were gang-raped and 7, 485 have been injured by pellets. The maximum number of above sufferings are during the premiership of Modi. However, the year 2018 has been deadliest in a decade with over 324 people killed. Even though the UNSC repeatedly passed the resolutions on the Kashmir dispute for its peaceful solution however the physical arrangements have not so far been seen. Both Indian and Pakistani governments acknowledged the UN resolutions but India never encouraged the environment for the peaceful conduct of the plebiscite.

The extremism is in full swing in India and particularly Muslims are the target of extremism of the Indian government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi who has recently announced Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the National Registration of Citizen (NRC), which are discriminatory laws and against the interfaith harmony and UN Charter of human rights.

The special status of Kashmir has been scrapped in violation of the UNSC Resolution No.47, adopted on 21 April 1948, for giving a chance to the oppressed Kashmir for self-determination. The “Karachi Agreement” duly signed by the two parties in 1949 which were duly supervised/countersigned by the UN observers needs to be re-activated to stop ceasefire violations at the border by Indian Forces. It will also be in the interest of peace to stop further escalation between Indian and Pakistan. The Secretary-General UNSC is requested to consider the deployment of United Nations observed on both sides of the border to keep the mandatory check on any violations on LOC.

Mr. Secretary General, May I to remind you and draw your kind attention to 198th day of inhuman curfew in Indian Occupied Kashmir in sheer violation of the human rights charter and the crimes against humanity by Indian Troops under the directives of Prime Minister Narendra Modi who is continuously killing innocent Muslims in Kashmir. I would like to request you kindly consider to constitute a high power Inquiry Commission of UNO to enquire into the brutalities of Indian government in Kashmir in the interest of the greater cause of Humanity.

I would like to appreciate International Court of Justice for listening the voice of Rohingyan Muslims who are the victims of Myanmar government and have been parted justice by the ICJ under your command and let’s hope that the decision of ICJ is implemented by the Myanmar authorities. It will be a great step if proceedings may also be initiated by the ICJ against the Indian government for brutalities against Kashmiri Muslims as ordered by you Mr. Secretary General to give relief to the Kashmiris and help in resolving this long outstanding burning conflict between Indian and Pakistan as South Asia is literally placed on a volcano which can erupt any time and hence it needs to be resolved with your ability and mandate.

It is a daylight fact that Indian Army is committing the war crimes against oppressed Kashmiris in terms of mass murdering, mass graving, mass blinding through pelleting, rapes, tortures, enforced disappearances, political repression and locking down of the whole valley through strict curfew. The crime against humanity and mass killing by Indian troops are going unnoticed by UNSC and I therefore once again appeal to honorable SG to take the action to stop the further killing of these oppressed Kashmiris.

According to the reports of Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) dated 14th June, 2018 and 8th July, 2019, so far more than 94,000 Kashmiris have been killed, 7,000 persons have been killed in Indian custody, 22,000 women have been widowed, 105,000 children have been orphaned and 10,000 women have been raped and molested by Indian military and paramilitary troops since 1989. More than 8,000 people have gone missing in enforced disappearances by Indian forces since 1989.Your Excellency these figures from the report of International Human rights that need your kind attention.

I have emphasized time and again in my Articles and in my two Books on Kashmir titled as (i) “Modi’s War Doctrine – Indian Anti-Pakistan Syndrome” and (ii) “Bleeding Kashmir – Oppressed Kashmiris! Waiting for Justice and Plebiscite” have strongly proposed the following steps are warranted to be taken on Kashmir issue at International diplomatic and legal fronts:-

1. To appoint a Plebiscite Administrator in Kashmir and fix a date for a plebiscite as per the Resolutions of UNSC as there is no further voting required in UN for this matter. This action is stuck in your good office and you are sole authority to order the date of self-determination.

2. The International Court of Justice (ICJ) may be directed to investigate the reasons of delay in implementation of UNSC Resolutions regarding the right of self-determination and fix the responsibility with the directions to initiate the process of a plebiscite in Kashmir as mentioned above

3. To appoint a Commissioner of Inquiry under UN Charter to investigate the ongoing crimes against humanity and human rights violations by Indian forces in Indian Occupied Kashmir.

4. To initiate a case against the Prime Minister Modi in the International Court of Justice (ICJ) based on the report of Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) dated 14th June, 2018 and 8th July, 2019 as these reports have enough materials for the trial of Prime Minister Modi and his accomplices involved in crimes against humanity and genocide.

5. To initiate case against Indian Government and Prime Minister Modi in International Criminal Court (ICC) under the Rome Statute to bring them to justices through trial as War Criminals based on the available evidence and as per reports of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) as referred above.

Mr. Secretary General, I, therefore, request you to kindly once again to please initiate a case against Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his accomplices for their crimes against humanity/genocide in Indian occupied Kashmir International Court of Justice (ICJ) & in International Criminal Court (ICC) under Rome Statute and resolve this issue by implementing your own resolution to restore the confidence of the oppressed Kashmiris who have been looking for their right of determination for 70 years.

The matter related to Palestine is no different than Kashmir and occupation of Gaza and the inhuman actions must stop in Gaza.

I would also like to draw your kind attention towards Daish which is becoming a major problem for the world as this has already become a Monster and will continue to bite the world. I have elaborated the emergence of Daish and its long term agenda in the world in my book “Daish – A Rising Monster World-Wide”.

The other regional issue is of Afghanistan where Pakistan is dining best to make the dialogue between USA & other stakeholders -Iran vs gulf states. Similarly, Iran vs the USA is also very important to be resolved.

We hope you will do your best to end these conflicts. Pakistan has done its best for the International peace and we are the largest contributor of peacemaker troops for UNSC as we have lost the lives of more than 70,000 Pak citizens during the war on terror and our personnel’s of Armed forces especially Pakistan Army has lost thousands of Jawans and officers.

Your Excellency, the oppressed Kashmiris are expecting some favorable actions to get relief which they are waiting for years and years.

Kindly take the notice of world’s the longest curfew imposed in IOK for more than six months.

Senator Rehman Malik
