Youth Parliament Pakistan accepting Expressions of Interest for 4th batch |
|||
|
Islamabad, January 3; Youth Parliament Pakistan, a project initiated and facilitated by PILDAT, has opened the process of inviting Expressions of Interest from young Pakistanis to be members in this year’s batch. |
|||
|
After the successful conclusion of the term of 3 earlier batches of Youth Parliament Pakistan (in 2007, 2008-2009 and 2010), the process has been initiated to select the 4th batch of the Youth Parliament Pakistan from across the country. Young Pakistanis between the ages of 18 to 29 (as of January 01, 2012) can log on at here and submit their Expressions of Interest in Urdu or English language. The only criterion for becoming a member of Youth Parliament is to be a young citizen of Pakistan and to be able to read and write Urdu. No educational qualification is required to be a member. |
|||
|
The Youth Parliament initiative undertaken by PILDAT trains young Pakistanis in values of engagement through reasoned dialogue, the use of researched facts beyond simple perceptions, the ability of tolerance of others views and a deeper understanding of Pakistan itself, its various regional issues and perceptions, and finding practical solutions to those problems. |
|||
|
Youth Parliament Pakistan is patterned after the National Assembly of Pakistan and its members, selected from across the country, engage in Parliamentary business including debate on important national issues, legislation, and overseeing and scrutinising key national policies from the youth’s perspective. The well-researched and objective perspectives of the Youth Parliament Pakistan to various state and governmental policies that each batch offers to various Ministries and relevant Parliamentary Committees from time to time, was recognized at the highest policy level when the Prime Minister of Pakistan Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani, invited two Youth Parliament representatives to present their views on draft National Education Policy in the Federal Cabinet meeting held on September 09, 2009. |
|||
|
An independent Steering Committee comprising veteran and young members of Pakistan’s Parliament will lead the selection process. The Steering Committee includes Senator S. M. Zafar as chairman, while the other members include Mr. Wazir Ahmad Jogezai, former Deputy Speaker National Assembly of Pakistan, Mr. Faisal Karim Kundi, MNA, Deputy Speaker National Assembly of Pakistan, Patron Youth Parliament Pakistan; Dr. Donya Aziz, President Young Parliamentarians Forum, Mr. Khurram Dastgir Khan, MNA, Chairman National Assembly Standing Committee on Commerce, Ms. Anusha Rahman Khan, MNA, Secretary Young Parliamentarians Forum, Mr. Nadeem Afzal Gondal, MNA, Chairman National Assembly Standing Committee on Rules and Privileges and Mr. Ahmed Bilal Mehboob, Executive Director PILDAT. |
|||
|
The Youth Parliament follows its own two-Party System, an elected Leader of the House or Youth Prime Minister, Leader of the Opposition, a Youth Cabinet, a Shadow Cabinet and Standing Committees. Youth Parliament members, once selected, are to shadow the members of the National Assembly of Pakistan as well as work in close coordination with National Assembly Standing Committees. A counter terrorism and extremism workshop will also be held for this batch focussing on young people’s abilities to engage in a reasoned dialogue as opposed to violence. |
|||
|
Youth Parliament is addressed by national and international leaders on important issues during the year. President of Pakistan, successive Prime Ministers of Pakistan, Chairman Senate, Chief Justice of Pakistan, former British Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, Federal Ministers, a number of dignitaries and political leaders have addressed and inter-acted with the Youth Parliament Pakistan. |
|||
|
The Youth Parliament Pakistan 2012 batch will select 60 Members from across Pakistan including Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab, and Sindh as well as from Azad Jammu and Kashmir, FATA and Gilgit-Baldistan. Overseas Pakistanis, who have a Pakistani Origin Card, can also apply to be members for one or more sessions. |
