Renowned politician and focal personality of political circles Marvi Memon has expressed hopes that the Pakistani youth will change their country's destiny. She expressed these views while addressing the third session of the 'Youth Leadership Development Programme 2011,' organised by All Pakistan Memon Federation (APMF) Education Board at the National Museum of Pakistan.
The 10-week programme has been launched for Pakistani youngsters between the ages of 17 to 25 years with the slogan of 'Ae Jazba-e-Dil Gar Me Chahon' for invoking leadership ability in them. In each session of the programme, leadership in separate sectors is being discussed. Marvi Memon was the chief guest of the third session of programme, which was organised to discuss political leadership. Addressing the session she said the youth of Pakistan was her only hope.
She expressed her disappointment with the ongoing rulers and politicians and said positive change could be attained if an alternate leadership comprising the youngsters replaced them. She urged the youth to discharge their duties by casting vote so as to take an active part in constructing the future of Pakistan. She highlighted the need of alternative leadership and said that a process was being undertaken and contacts were being made on several levels. She vowed to unite the youth power of both rural and urban areas.
Commenting over the current political situation, she said: "Current assembly is a debating club where issues are not solved they are in fact created, political parties fight for power and musical chairs of opposition and treasury benches are played for vested interests."
Commenting over her resignation, she said she went to the assembly for her people and she had returned for her people, adding she had been overwhelmed with the respect in response for her decision from across the country. She termed her struggle as Karavan-e-Haq and said the only purpose of her struggle was the provision of clean leadership, which would give Pakistanis 'Rozgar, Tahafuz, Insaaf, and Taraqee'.
Talking about the qualities of her visionary real leadership, she said that leadership would be from the people, it would live, eat, suffer, laugh, dream, and progress with them. "It will not be only a VIP leadership, which only addresses them through large Jalsas. It will be accessible, available, in their streets, their fields. It will understand their pains of not having clean water to drink, their endless load shedding traumas, their gas shortages, their dirty streets without proper sewerage issue. In short it will understand their daily troubles."
She was of the view that at the time she did not require any separate political forum as people of Pakistan were her platform. To a question, she said that under her vision a great alliance of all those politicians, who felt pain of people, was going to be formed and would clean sweep the Pakistani politics. Responding to a question about the chances of a coalition among existing prominent political parties, she said that how those elements would found a greater alliance against corrupts, who had already bestowed them with life. Only Pakistani people will form a greater alliance, which would turn the fate of the country.
On the occasion, Learning Minds Chief Executive Officer Sohail Zindani delivered an eye-opening presentation and highlighted the civic responsibility of youth in the current political scenario. An interesting activity was undertaken amid that session in regard with politics. Six political parties were formed. The parties designed their manifesto, announced their candidates and election was held after a short election campaign on the basis of party agenda. Zonar Ponawala was the successful candidate on the occasion. The activity was held so as the participants could examine and understand the political process.
APMF President Ahmed Chinoy urged the youth to take a leading part in the country politics in future and said that their critical contribution would help Pakistan to get politically strong and prosperous. APMF Education Board Director Rehana Naz also expressed her views on the occasion, and urged youth to realise their responsibility. Muhammad Yousuf Adil Chairman APMF-Education Board, Rehana Naz, Director Education, Abdul Razzaq Vayani, Ibrahim Mamdani, Altaf Bawany, Shabbir Bilwani, Farooq Members YLDP Committee also attended the programme.-PR
