Gujrat: In Pakistan the dictatorship of the superrich is operative under
the guise of democracy. Baba Fareed many hundred years ago said that
“Traders cannot be rulers”. Pakistan is poor in presentation and
representation at the international fora.
We need to reshape our foreign policy. The Arab revolution started from a small event of a conflict between a fruitseller and a policeman from Tunis. It has developed into a broad insurrection and engulfed many Muslims countries of Africa and Middle East. It is a resurgence of human dignity and will to freedom. These views were expressed by Mr. MuhaidHussain Shah senior analyst and Attorney at Law at USA, as Chief Guest of a seminar “Challenges to Pakistan’s Foreign Policy in the scenario of Arab uprising and US Presidential Election”The function was organized by (Centre for History, International Relations, and Political Science) and Pakistan Studies CHIPPS at University of Gujrat Hafiz Hayat Campus. Prof Dr. Mohammad Nizamuddin Vice Chancellor University of Gujrat presided over the function. Mr. Imran Masood Former Education Minister was the guest of Honor.
Mr. Mowahid Hussain in his lecture surmised that Mr. Obama is likely to
win the 2012 elections. Dr. Nizamuddin in his keynote address emphasized
the need for research in the Academia to help the govt. in shaping
foreign policy. We are bogged down and not progressing because we are
lacking in knowledge and research. We can’t live in isolation and must
strike a balance in foreign affairs. He expressed his delight in his
involvement under OIC (organization of Islamic Countries) in making
arrangements for a conference of 450 universities of the Muslim world.
