KARACHI: Remembering the iconic leader and political reformist Qazi Hussain Ahmad, Pasban Democratic Party (PDP) Chairman Altaf Shakoor highlighted the urgent need for political unity and youth empowerment in Pakistan.
Shakoor described Qazi Hussain Ahmad as a visionary who believed in broader political unity and the empowerment of youth. He emphasized that Pasban, originally conceived by Ahmad, remains a significant organization advocating for the rights of young people in Pakistan.
Shakoor recalled Ahmad's commitment to cooperative politics, involving leaders and activists from various backgrounds. He noted Ahmad's opposition to isolated political actions, which he believes have led to current political challenges in the country.
Pointing to the need for political alliances based on shared agendas, Shakoor urged stakeholders to work together. He advocated for reforms that would prioritize politicians in policy-making, aiming to reduce the influence of non-political entities.
Highlighting Ahmad's faith in the potential of youth, Shakoor lamented the decline of student politics in Pakistan, contrasting it with the active engagement seen in Bangladesh. He proposed establishing a research institution dedicated to Ahmad's vision to inspire contemporary political practices.
