UN Says Kashmir not removed from UNSC's agenda
From the Blog Pak1stanfirstcom - UN Says Kashmir not removed from UNSC's agenda November 16th, 2010 UNITED NATIONS, Nov 16 : The Jammu and Kashmir dispute remains on the United Nations Security Council's agenda, a UN spokesman categorically stated Monday, while rejecting as "inaccurate" reports that it has been removed from the list of unresolved issues."Some articles today on Kashmir are inaccurate," UN Spokesman Farhan Haq said, referring to those reports. He said the latest list of matters the Security Council is seized of "continues to include the agenda item under which the Council has taken up Kashmir which, by a decision of the Council, remains on the list for this year," the spokesman added. Earlier, a spokesman for the Pakistan Mission clarified that Pakistan's Acting Ambassador Amjad Hussain Sial, in his speech to the General Assembly on Friday, November 12 had referred to the omission of Jammu and Kashmir dispute in a statement by the President of the Security Council, and NOT from the Council's Annual Report-as reported in a section of press. "The agenda item entitled, 'India and Pakistan Question', which covers Jammu and Kashmir dispute, is duly mentioned in the Annual Report of the Security Council and is also present on its agenda," Spokesman Mian Jehangir Iqbal said in a statement. In his statement, the 15-member Council's President for the current month, British Ambassador Mark Lyall Grant, while presenting the Annual Report to the 192-member assembly, did not mention the Kashmir dispute in the context of unresolved long-running situations, despite the fact decades-old issue is included in the Annual Report. "We understand this was an inadvertent omission, as Jammu and Kashmir is one of the oldest disputes on agenda of the Security Council," Ambassador Sial remarked, after Grant's statement. Meanwhile, Pakistan's UN Ambassador Abdullah Hussain Haroon, who is on a visit to Pakistan, said there was no question of the Kashmir issue being dropped from the Council's agenda. "The Security Council Report in its annexures is explicit," he said in a statement. "The President of the Security Council, the Permanent Representative of the UK, is amply clear on the subject and is cognizant of the matter. I would request all concerned not to speculate unnecessarily upon the subject". Pakistan First
Eid Mubarak from Pak1stanfirst!
From the Blog Pak1stanfirstcom - Eid Mubarak from Pak1stanfirst! November 16th, 2010 Eid-ul-Adha or in other words known as ‘festival of sacrifice’ is being celebrated among Muslims to commemorate the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim to sacrifice his son Prophet Ismail as an act of obedience to Allah. Allah intervened to provide him with a ram to sacrifice instead. This festival not only teaches us obedience to Allah but also to make solemn sacrifice if needed for the will of Allah. If we look into the current situation we will find that among all the chaos we are somehow forgetting the ground realities. We somehow have become oblivious to all the bad things happening around us or are it just that we have given up. It is commonly seen in the market that a women, nicely dressed up with matching shoes and all, hands full of Eid shopping bargaining with this little that “hamara apna guzara hota nai, tumhari madad kahan se karein”. Why have we become so insensitive and ruthless? Why do we always forget that time changes and so do things around us? Recent floods have devastated half of our country and have changed the course of life for many people. We still are oblivious to other people’s needs and we are all concerned only with ourselves. we criticize our leaders all the time for being selfish and corrupt but we always over-look ourselves that we are doing exactly same but on a different level. So let us make a resolution at the end of this Islamic year that inshAllah from now onwards we are going to change ourselves and we will make people change their perspective about things as well. Eid Mubarak; Kulli `aam wa antum bi-khayr. May this Eid bring great peace and blessings in our beloved Pakistan and the entire Muslim Ummah. Team The Pakistan First Group P.S Don’t forget to hug the policeman at the mosque who spent this Eid protecting you! Pakistan First
