PPP’s Kashmir policy is that the people of Kashmir will decide for Kashmir: Bilawal Bhutto Zardari 

Kotli, June 26, 2021 (PPI-OT):Chairman Pakistan Peoples Party, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari in connection with the party’s election campaign addressed a mammoth public gathering at Kotli Azad Kashmir. Former Prime Minister Raja Parvez Ashraf, Qamar Zaman Kaira and candidates of Kotli Division were also present on the occasion.

 

Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari addressing the public gathering said that the Pakistan Peoples Party was formed on the issue of Kashmir that journey is still continued. We learnt from Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto that if need be we will fight for a thousand year for Kashmir. We learnt from Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto that we will shed our blood where Kashmiri’s shed their sweat. The people who use to say that PPP is finished they should come here and see the fervour and zeal of the people of Kotli.

 

The PPP is still the most vibrant force from Karachi to Kashmir. The PPP’s policy about Kashmir is that the people of Kashmir will decide their own future. Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto’s slogan was that self-determination of Kashmiris’ is the only slogan for Kashmiris. Qaud-e-Awam used to say that he cannot err on Kashmir even in his sleep but whenever this puppet selected Prime Minister talks about Kashmir in the Parliament, he always commit a mistake.

 

When Modi had attacked Occupied Kashmir the coward Imran had said, “What can I do?” The people of Occupied Kashmir are fighting against the tyranny of Modi and the people of Azad Kashmir are fighting against the economic crises created by this incapable Prime Minister Imran Khan. This government is trying to impose taxes on your energy projects. This government engulfed people in extreme difficulties. Neither Afghanistan nor India or Bangladesh have the inflation as much we have. The change Imran Khan has brought is poverty, inflation and unemployment.

 

He asked the charge crowd that they have to campaign door to door and tell the people that they want to impose on the people a puppet Prime Minister. We want to Prime Minister in Kashmir who leads from the front and for this, you have the elect the PPP candidates from entire Kashmir. So that we can form a government which can respond not only to Modi what also this puppet. Imran Khan is trying to rig this election in Kashmir because he himself is a production of rigged the elections.

 

PPP has done a lot for the common people. If a poor grower owns a piece of land, the PPP has given him that land. The PPP gave BISP program for poor women. Whatever projects will be carried out in Kashmir, the PPP will be behind it. Coming to Kotli whichever bridge or road he passed by was the project of the PPP. Chaudhry Yasin inaugurated 19 colleges in his constituency and the PPP founded 14 colleges in Kotli.

 

Chairman Bilawal asked people not to believe the false promises by the puppet government. The PPP is the only party which has served the people and has solved the problems faced by the people. Chairman PPP said that we have a combination of experienced and young candidates and this combination will solve the problems of Kashmir people.

 

The PPP will solve the water problem in Kotli. It will also build a ring road. The PPP will also give an airport to the people of Kotli. We have to give a 100 bed hospital to Kotli. We will have to look after the people of the Kashmir because we cannot leave them on the mercy of Imran Khan. The PPP increased salaries, pensions for governments’ servants as well as our valiant soldiers. The PPP when comes to power will do one job on priority basis and that is to increase the salaries of the employees.

 

Imran Khan had promised to provide 10 million jobs and five million houses but he made thousands of people unemployed and snatched thousands of houses from the poor people. Chairman Bilawal asked people to elect PPP candidates from the whole Kotli Division. He appeal to the people to vote for Waleed Inqalabi from LA-13, Sardar Muhammad Bashir from LA-11, Javed from LA-9, Muhammad Aftab Anjum from LA-8 and Chaudhry Muhammad Yasin from LA-10 and 12.

 

Earlier the PPP Chairman paid a visit to Dargah Gulhar Sharif where he visited Mazar’s of Qazi Fateh Muhammad and Pir Muhammad Sadiq. He also met the administrator of the Dargah Qazi Muhammad Rafique and expressed his good wishes for Sahibzada Zahid Sultani. He also prayed for liberation of Kashmir and stability of Pakistan at the Dargah.

Industry Leaders QI-ANXIN, Huawei and Tencent Included in the Latest List of CCIA Top 50

BEIJING, June 26, 2021 /Xinhua-AsiaNet/–On June 16, 2021, China Cybersecurity Industry Alliance (CCIA) released “2021 China Cyber Security Market Competitiveness Report”, and announced “2021 China’s Top 50 Competitive Enterprises in Cyber Security Industry” (CCIA Top 50), “2021 China’s Rising Stars in Cyber Security Industry” (CCIA Rising Stars), and “2021 China’s Most Promising Stars in Cyber Security Industry”. QI-ANXIN ranks first on the list of CCIA Top 50, and well-known enterprises such as Sangfor, Venustech, Huawei and Tencent are also on the list.

QI-ANXIN

CCIA releases key data of cyber security industry in 2020

In March, 2021, CCIA launched a public survey for domestic enterprises with sales revenue of cyber security products, services and solutions, and collected valid data from nearly 200 companies, which basically covered major domestic cyber security enterprises. According to the survey report, the scale of China’s cyber security market was about RMB 53.2 billion in 2020, with a year-on-year growth rate of 11.3%, showing slower growth due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

In 2021, with the promulgation and implementation of laws and regulations such as Data Security Law of the People’s Republic of China, Personal Information Protection Law and Regulations on Security Protection of Critical Information Infrastructure, the importance of cyber security has become increasingly prominent and the market scale will continue to expand. In the first half of 2021 alone, a total of 4,751 companies were engaging in cyber security business in China, an increase of 23.1% compared with the same period of last year.

It is worth noting that “CCIA Top 50”, the most important part of the report, was released, the purpose of which is to provide the competent authorities, investment institutions, users, enterprises and practitioners in the cyber security industry with a global overview of the development status and industrial structure of the Top 50 competitive network security enterprises, and offer multi-dimensional information with strong reference value for relevant policy making, investment decision-making, project procurement, strategic planning, and understanding of the industry and market.

QI-ANXIN ranks first on the list of CCIA Top 50

With its leading technology and outstanding market performance, QI-ANXIN stands at the first place in “CCIA Top 50” and is highly recognized in the cyber security industry. The 2021 CCIA Top 50 companies are selected mainly by measuring the comprehensive ability of enterprises from two dimensions: “resource strength” and “competitiveness”. The indicators of “resource strength” are: whether a company is publically listed, the company’s total operating income, appraised market value, HR scale and quality. The indicators of “competitiveness” are: brand influence, security business revenue and gross profit, security business growth rate, net profit rate, revenue composition, staff composition, the quantity and level of service-related qualifications, the quantity and level of product-related qualifications, R&D investment and its proportion in total business revenue, etc.

According to the market share of major enterprises in China’s cyber security industry in 2020, QI-ANXIN ranks first in the industry with security business revenue of RMB 4.16 billion. Adhering to its “Strong R&D” strategy, QI-ANXIN has built a strong product matrix, eight cyber security R&D platforms, and developed into a new-generation cyber security leader.
