Another APC
Opposition has called for another All Parties Conference in Islamabad to plan a strong strategy against government. This time it was attended by almost all opposition parties particularly, Former PM & Pres Mian Nawaz Shareef and Asif Ali Zardari respectively, who joined the session virtually. Both demanded strong coalition among all opposition parties to get rid of these incompetents ruling in Islamabad. These are the people, who have ruined the country since came into power in 2018. Economy has fallen down, no governance, selected accountability has further worsened the state to run.
Every opposition leader keeping some reservations with one another seemed united against the government. But unfortunately, what we didn’t see was the solution to common man’s problems? No one talked about unemployment, inflation, drowning Karachi, do they represent people? If YES, then why didn’t they talk about above-mentioned problems? It seemed they have their own interests dearer than others. Therefore, there would be only success, if APC is called to resolve the problems of people rather getting own benefits.

Shiv Sena ki goondagardi
Not only women, but even men are not safe in Mumbai with Uddhav Thackeray as the CM. He should resign, as there is a lot of goondagiri among his party workers who keep taking the law into their own hands and harass people for no reason at all.
We could see it in the case of actress Kangana Ranaut whose office worth crores of rupees was demolished and Retd Navy Officer Madan Sharma who just forwarded a cartoon to people on Whatsapp of CM Uddhav Thackeray and his son Aditya Thackeray.

Kavkaz 2020
This is with reference to the weeklong Kavkaz 2020 exercises aimed at assessing ability of troops to react to various challenges and learn from each other’s experience. A contingent of the Pakistan defence forces participated in the opening ceremony of multinational military exercises in the Russian city of Astrakhan. Other countries in the region were also invited to participate in the Kavkaz 2020. However, India backed out from participating at the last minute. Defence experts suggested that India might have run away from the exercises because of the presence of Pakistan and China.
The growing relationship between Pakistan and Russia is commendable. It is a delight to see that Pakistan’s foreign policymakers are working to move ahead of the bitter past shared by the two countries. Keeping in view the regional and international changing political and military environment, the joint military exercise is bound to bring harmony between the two countries. The door of technological help and economic cooperation may be opened. In short, improvement in Pak-Russia relations presages benefits for both the countries.

FPSC Centre
Hyderabad is the second largest populated city of Sindh. It connects more than ten districts of Sindh together. But yet, it does not have any regional centre of Federal Public Service Commission. Sindh is having two FPSC centres: one in Karachi and second in Sukkur for general recruitment. Whereas Hyderabad, which deserves the most, lacks such a centre, thus students belonging to poor families and backward areas often do not apply for general recruitment of FPSC.
Recently, Hyderabad-based students were supposed to appear in FPSC tests in Karachi. But owing to inclement weather and rains, they were unable to reach for test in time. It resultantly lost their opportunity which is a sheer injustice. Unavailability of the centre in Hyderabad sheds social, psychological and financial constraints over students.
Students of Hyderabad and linking cities have submitted thousands of complaints on Prime Minister Portal. Additionally, they held rallies and strikes in different cities demanding FPSC regional centre in Hyderabad. Chairman of FPSC, PM of Pakistan and CM of Sindh are requested to establish a centre in Hyderabad so that all candidates can participate.

Awareness to digital world
Through this letter I would like to draw the attention of the concerned authorities towards the knowledge of the digital world in Pakistan . As we all know that in corona pandemic all the school and business was done digitally. During this crisis it has been observed that large amounts of people had faced problems doing their work online due to the lack of knowledge.
As compare to the other countries Pakistanis have less knowledge of using gadgets like computers, laptops, phones and other digital gadgets . People of our country use these gadgets as a source of entertainment where as people of others countries are using it in their normal life for learning and earning as well. Also I want to appreciate the fact that we all tried our best to keep going and growing safely in this difficult time using the digital world which was obviously not easy as everything seems difficult for the first time….. But Being a responsible citizen, I want to put light on fact that why can’t we have proper and affordable programs!!? education!!? and workshops!!? by the government..!!! Because if it remains same it could be the reason of failure for us in the upcoming years.
In my opinion our respectable authorities should look after this and should provide its proper and affordable education which is available in private institutes and its difficult to get admissions for majority of people due to different reasons like financial issues and not having resources for it is another issue. So let’s just make it all easy and let’s rock on to the digital world, and make our country successful and proud.
