LAHORE - Nazaria-i-Pakistan Trust Chairman Dr Majid Nizami on Tuesday presided over the 6th annual session of the general council at the Aiwan-i-Quaid-i-Azam in Johar Town.

In another resolution, the participants of the session strongly condemned the criticism on Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah’s personality and his political decisions on the electronic and print media. “The Quaid-i-Azam had termed Kashmir the jugular vein of Pakistan in respect of political and military considerations and he remained ardently desirous of the annexation of Kashmir to Pakistan till his last breath. Hence it was imperative that our political and military leadership should step up effort to materialise Jinnah’s aspiration.”
The council called for concerted efforts to thwart hostile designs against the motherland and mentioned Indian water war to make Pakistan a deserted land.
“The Pakistani nation is never going to approve the status of the Most Favoured Nation (MFN) being given to India over its occupation of Kashmir, plot to turn Pakistan into a desert by building more than 60 dams on the Pakistani rivers, its role in Afghan unrest and fomentation of separatist elements in Balochistan. Hence the government should not to take any such step. Furthermore, no trade relations of any kind should be established until and unless India was willing to resolve the Kashmir issue in accordance with the resolutions passed by the UN,” the council observed.
The participants of the session felt strong concerns over violence in Balochistan, KPK and Sindh and called upon the government to maintain its writ. They also called for unity to get rid of such problems.

The session called upon the government to get the drone attacks stopped forthwith.
The session strongly condemned the lawsuits lodged against, and sentences pronounced upon, the supporters of a united Pakistan during 1971 by the International Crimes Tribunal set up by the pro-India government of Bangladesh. It expressed disappointment over the imprisonment of the 92-year-old Bangladeshi leader of Jamaat-e-Islami Prof Ghulam Azam, Abdul Qadir Mulla and other leaders and called upon the Bangladeshi government to release the incarcerated.
In another resolution, the participants of the session expressed their sorrow over the fact that a specific section of the media was propagating Indian culture as superior to Pakistan's, which was exerting a damaging influence on our younger generation. They called upon the Government to instruct the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra) to stall transmissions of the Indian TV channels.
“The efforts to promulgate a uniform curriculum for the whole nation have suffered a serious setback by authorising the provinces to prepare the curriculum under the 18th Amendment.” It was demanded the authority to prepare the curriculum be handed back to the federal government.
The participants of the session expressed their deep concern over the energy crisis and called upon the government to immediately start the construction of Kalabagh Dam and accelerate the process to import gas and power from Iran ignoring any pressure.
