NEW DELHI: Heads of rival factions of Kashmir’s All Parties Hurriyat Conference made a rare appearance together in Srinagar on Tuesday, discussing the 125-day-old standoff with the government, reports said.</div>
<div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
They said the resistance leaders held a meeting in Srinagar with traders and other organisations to chalk out their future course of action.</div>

Hurriyat faction chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front chief Yasin Malik and Hurriyat faction head Syed Ali Geelani were present at the meeting to which all the forums — including educationists, transporters, civil society members, religious, social and political organisations, and bar association — were called.</div>

<div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
The meeting came after the government allowed the trio to meet on Sunday for the first time in the past four months since the killing of militant commander Burhan Wani on July 8, which threw the entire held Valley into turmoil.</div>
<div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
On November 2, the authorities did not allow a similar meeting, by barring the leaders from entering the residence of Mr Geelani.</div>

Imran Khan and his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) have been in the eye of almost every political storm to engulf the country in recent times. The Panama Papers, detailing offshore accounts and their beneficiaries, brought the party back onto the streets and in direct conflict with the ruling government in a dramatic – and anticlimactic – showdown. It is this state of constant agitation, among numerous other beguiling intricacies, that is forging a new identity for the PTI.</div>
<div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
To find meaning in the ideology behind Khan’s enigmatic politics, the <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Herald</em>met up with him at his residence in Bani Gala on a cool October day, as the PTI was preparing for its ‘lockdown’ of the federal capital — which later turned into a ‘celebration’. The following are excerpts from the conversation:</div>
<div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Herald.</span> If seeking justice is the goal, why does the PTI still feel the need to bring its protest to the streets, when the Supreme Court has begun proceedings on the Panama leaks? Do you not think it will add to your image of having a lack of faith in the judiciary — or that of self-righteousness, where you speak highly of the courts if a decision is given in your favour and completely discredit it otherwise?</div>
<div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Imran Khan.</span> Do people trust the democratic institutions in Pakistan? The answer is no. Nobody has faith in them. A recent survey at the World Economic Forum revealed that our state institutions have deteriorated further since the time of General Pervez Musharraf and, most alarmingly, that the independence of the judiciary has gone down. Imagine a military dictator having better functioning institutions than eight years of democracy under Nawaz Sharif and Asif Ali Zardari.</div>

Karachi is often termed as a dull city, sometimes even dangerous. In a city of 20 odd million, there is a dearth of public spaces and limited avenues for cultural activities.</div>

The much praised diversity has also come under scrutiny, with minorities migrating to greener pastures abroad and those staying back choosing to remain discreet.</div>

The uncertain security situation restricts religious festivities of non-Muslims as well as the nurturing of our communities' collective imagination. Festivals come and go but they don’t manage to make headlines for the right reasons.</div>

But anyone who has lived in Karachi for some time would know that the city opens up to its denizen gradually. There are pockets across the city that light up annually with festivities, religious and cultural, showing a fascinating side of the place that doesn't make the news.</div>

I addressed hundreds of rallies in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, organised meetings, participated in and led marches, and was at the receiving end of police batons dozens of times.</div>
<div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
But I never threw a stone or a punch.</div>
<div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
In my youth, we struggled against General Ziaul Haq’s martial law. The educated and well-off youth were not part of our struggle.</div>
<div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Today, it is different: the educated youth have been mobilised on a large scale and the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) deserves the credit for this.</div>
<div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
I am though concerned about how this political activism is manifesting. The teargas in the air and the containers on the roads repeat the story of violent protests. Pakistanis are, justifiably, expressing their discontent at the state of affairs.</div>
<div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
But unlike the semi-literate, lower middle-class youth with whom I protested, I see the upper and middle-class youth active on the streets today. However, their activism doesn’t reflect the maturity of their privilege and education.</div>
<div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
What I see are seemingly educated youth who are ignorant of how to be active in the political sphere.</div>
<div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
I see PTI supporters throwing stones at the police and some even wrestling with law enforcement officers in Islamabad.</div>
<div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
I see PTI-supporting lawyers in Lahore attacking cars and assaulting parents transporting children on motorbikes.</div>
<div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
This is no way to be an enlightened political activist.</div>
<div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Our youth need mentoring. There is a way to be a <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">jiyala</em> or <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">cheetah</em>, and it does not involve throwing stones or punches.</div>

<div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
With investors worried a Trump victory could cause economic and global uncertainty, the US dollar sank and stock markets slammed into reverse in wild Asian trading. Opinion polls before Election Day had given Clinton a slim lead.</div>
<div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Mexico's peso plunged to its lowest-ever levels as Trump's chances of winning the presidency increased.</div>
<div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Concerns of a Trump victory have weighed heavily on the peso for months because of his threats to rip up a free trade agreement with Mexico and tax money sent home by migrants to pay to build a wall on the southern US border.</div>
<div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Trump won in Florida, Ohio and North Carolina.</div>
<div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
With voting completed in 49 of the 50 US states, he also narrowly led in Michigan, New Hampshire and Wisconsin, giving him a clear advantage in the state-by-state fight for 270 Electoral College votes needed to win.</div>
<div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Both candidates still had ways to reach 270, but Clinton would have to sweep most of the remaining battlegrounds including Pennsylvania, Michigan and either Nevada or New Hampshire.</div>
<div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Trump captured conservative states in the South and Midwest, while Clinton swept several states on the East Coast and Illinois in the Midwest.</div>
<div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
After running close throughout the night in Virginia, Clinton pulled out the swing state that is home to her running mate, Senator Tim Kaine.</div>
<div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
At 8:55pm EST (0155 GMT on Wednesday), Clinton acknowledged a battle that was unexpectedly tight given her edge in opinion polls going into Election Day.</div>
<div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
She tweeted: “This team has so much to be proud of. Whatever happens tonight, thank you for everything.”</div>
<div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
As of 11:10pm EST (0410 GMT on Wednesday), Trump had 215 electoral votes to Clinton's 209, with US television networks projecting the winner in 38 of the 50 states and the District of Columbia.</div>
<div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Before Tuesday's election, Clinton led Trump, 44 per cent to 39pc in the last Reuters/Ipsos national tracking poll. A Reuters/Ipsos States of the Nation poll gave her a 90pc chance of defeating Trump and becoming the first woman elected US president.</div>
<div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Also at stake on Tuesday was control of Congress. Television networks projected Republicans would retain control of the House of Representatives, where all 435 seats were up for grabs.</div>
<div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
In the Senate, where Republicans were defending a slim four-seat majority, Democrats scored their first breakthrough in Illinois when Republican Senator Mark Kirk lost re-election. But Republicans Rob Portman in Ohio and Marco Rubio in Florida won high-profile Senate re-election fights.</div>
<div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
In a presidential campaign that focused more on the character of the candidates than on policy, Clinton, 69, a former US secretary of state, and Trump, 70, accused each other of being fundamentally unfit to lead the country.</div>
<div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Trump again raised the possibility on Tuesday of not accepting the election's outcome, saying he had seen reports of voting irregularities.</div>
<div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
He gave few details and Reuters could not immediately verify the existence of such problems.</div>

Americans on Nov 8 began voting for the 45th president of the United States. Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump face voters on Tuesday as millions of Americans turn out on Election Day to pick the next US president and end a bruising campaign that polls said favored Clinton.</div>
<div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #dedede; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 625px; padding: 0px;">
In a battle centered largely on the character of the candidates, Clinton, 69, a former secretary of state and first lady, and Trump, 70, a New York businessman, made their final, fervent appeals to supporters late on Monday to turn out the vote.</div>
<div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #dedede; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 625px; padding: 0px;">
If she wins, Hillary Clinton could become America's first female commander in chief. A Reuters/Ipsos States of the Nation poll gave Clinton a 90 per cent chance of defeating Trump and said she was on track to win 303 electoral college votes out of 270 needed, to Trump's 235.</div>
<div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #dedede; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 625px; padding: 0px;">
World markets braced for the outcome of one of the most contentious US presidential elections in history, with stocks up slightly on cautious expectations of a Clinton win. The dollar and bond yields slipped, while gold inched up.</div>

<div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Cheers erupted when one network update showed Trump slightly ahead in Florida.</div>
<div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
"This is like a football game. I'm going to have a heart attack," said 76-year-old Mike Garcia, a Republican from Pennsylvania.</div>
<div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Across town at the huge conference center where Clinton hopes to hold her victory rally, supporters were just as giddy.</div>
<div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
"Hillary's going to win and we're going to unite America," declared Jade Wiederholt, a 43-year-old marketing consultant from New York.</div>
<div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Clinton tweeted: "This team has so much to be proud of. Whatever happens tonight, thank you for everything."</div>
<div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
She and her husband, former president Bill Clinton, huddled in a hotel near the venue to prepare a victory ─ or concession ─ speech.</div>
<h3 style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-size: 1.71429rem; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px; padding: 0.5em 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
'I'll do the very best I can'</h3>
<div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Earlier, the Clintons voted near their home in Chappaqua, before emerging to shake hands and chat with the crowd.</div>
<div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
"So many people are counting on the outcome of this election, what it means for our country," the 69-year-old former secretary of state said. "And I'll do the very best I can if I'm fortunate enough to win today."</div>
<div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
An exit poll by CNN however found that only four in 10 voters were optimistic that Obama's successor would do any better than he has during his two terms in office.</div>
<div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Trump, 70, cast his ballot alongside his wife Melania in a Manhattan school gymnasium.</div>
<div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">

<h3 style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-size: 1.71429rem; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px; padding: 0.5em 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
Tough contest</h3>
<div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
The 2016 race was the most bruising in modern memory.</div>
<div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Obama's election eight years ago as the nation's first black president had raised hopes of uniting Americans, but the current contest has only highlighted the country's divisions ─ and the fact that voters are not necessarily happy with their options.</div>
<div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Exit polls by ABC News and NBC News found that both Clinton and Trump are seen as untrustworthy by majorities of voters, while most find Trump's temperament unpresidential.</div>
<div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Most voters told ABC that the economy was the most important issue or them, but were evenly divided on which candidate would handle it better, so the final result may come down to turnout.</div>
<div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
The exit polls, and reports coming in from polling stations around the country, suggested that Latino turnout was high and that this would favor Clinton over the anti-immigration candidate, Trump.</div>
<div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Trump's campaign spooked world markets seeking stability after the recent global slowdown, but stocks rose for a second straight day Tuesday on the expectation that Clinton will prevail.</div>
<div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
At the closing bell, the S&P 500 closed up 0.4 per cent. But Asian markets were open as polls closed and the situation was much less clear cut, with equities falling after initial gains.</div>
<h3 style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-size: 1.71429rem; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px; padding: 0.5em 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
'Big-hearted'</h3>
<div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Early voting has shown particular enthusiasm among Hispanic voters, an increasingly influential voting bloc whose strong turnout could shape the results.</div>
<div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Clinton has urged citizens to vote for a more "big-hearted" America, while Trump has vowed to tear up US trade deals, control immigration, restore manufacturing jobs that moved abroad and to: "Make America great again."</div>

ISLAMABAD: Captain Muhammad Safdar (retd), the son-in-law of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, on Friday filed Terms of Reference (ToRs) in Supreme Court for the proposed judicial commission that would hold a probe into the Panama leaks.<br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #2c2c2c; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #2c2c2c; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">While resuming the Panama Leaks case in response to the pleas of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf and three other petitioners against Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and family members for allegedly holding offshore companies, a five-member larger bench led by Chief Justice Anwar Zaheer Jamali had asked all the parties to the case to submit ToRs for the proposed judicial commission. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #2c2c2c; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #2c2c2c; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #2c2c2c; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">Filing the proposed ToRs, Safdar urged the proposed judicial commission to examine information pertaining to the involvement of Pakistani citizens, persons of Pakistan-origin and legal entities in offshore companies in Panama or any other country. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #2c2c2c; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #2c2c2c; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #2c2c2c; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">He said the proposed judicial commission should determine in each case whether any law for the time being in force has been infringed, and if so, also determine responsibility for such infringement. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #2c2c2c; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #2c2c2c; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #2c2c2c; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">“Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, the Commission shall determine whether the provisions of laws relating to income tax, wealth tax, foreign exchange, companies and elections in force at the relevant time have been infringed, with due regard infer-alia to the following matters, as may be applicable to each case:- (a) details of properties held by the off-shore companies; (b) sources of income utilized to purchase the properties in (a) above, (c) Income tax if any payable/paid on the income in (b) above; and (d) details of sellers of the properties in (a) above,” Safdar said. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #2c2c2c; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #2c2c2c; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #2c2c2c; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">He also submitted, “to examine information relating to written-off bank loans, including:- (i) Report of the Commission on Written-off Loans set up by the Supreme Court of Pakistan; and (ii) other cases of bank loans written-off after the period covered by the said Commission by former or present holders of elective public office, and determine whether in any case loans were written-off through political influence or other than commercial considerations”. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #2c2c2c; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #2c2c2c; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #2c2c2c; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">He further said the proposed judicial commission may examine the information relating to transfer from Pakistan of funds which have originated from corruption, commissions and kickbacks and identify the persons responsible besides making such recommendations as it may deem appropriate in all cases. </span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01024826065724273479noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8472712461989859762.post-67732032503853661682016-11-05T03:13:00.000-07:002016-11-05T03:13:20.805-07:00<h1 class="title" style="background-color: white;

<span class="location" style="display: block; float: left; font-size: 18px;">ISLAMABAD: </span>Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan is regarded by many as a strong-willed person. However, on Tuesday before daybreak, this man called off his much-trumpeted plan to lock down Islamabad — to the dismay of his allies and zealous supporters.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #212121; font-family: inherit; font-size: 19px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 27px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The main reason for this unexpected move, according to some sources, was Imran’s realisation that the PTI Punjab chapter’s second-tier leaders had ditched the party at the eleventh hour primarily in the face of the Punjab government’s well-worked-out strategy to stop it from mobilising public for the protest.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #212121; font-family: inherit; font-size: 19px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 27px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

Also, the rally led by Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Pervaiz Khattak from the party’s power base on October 31 had much fewer participants than Imran had expected.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #212121; font-family: inherit; font-size: 19px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 27px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Comprehending the possible scenario on Nov 2, Imran quickly made up his mind to abandon the lockdown plan. And around 6 am on Nov 1, the PTI chief telephoned Khattak to stop the march.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #212121; font-family: inherit; font-size: 19px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 27px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Background discussions with the party’s senior leaders suggest that a hot topic of discussion at Imran’s residence in Bani Gala was the overall poor response extended by Punjab to the protest call.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #212121; font-family: inherit; font-size: 19px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 27px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“We have confirmed reports from different quarters that some regional leaders and elected provincial assembly members from Punjab offered voluntary arrests to police on October 30 and 31,” a senior leader confided.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #212121; font-family: inherit; font-size: 19px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 27px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Top leaders from Punjab present inside Bani Gala on the night of October 31 found it difficult to have exact knowledge of the whereabouts of the second-tier leadership from Punjab as cell phones of a majority of them went off as Punjab government intensified its crackdown.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #212121; font-family: inherit; font-size: 19px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 27px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“Some 2,000 party leaders and activists were arrested by the Punjab Police on Oct 30 and 31,” he said.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #212121; font-family: inherit; font-size: 19px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 27px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
He said it was Imran’s decision to keep senior leadership from Punjab – Shah Mehmood Qureshi, Jehangir Khan Tareen, Aleem Khan and others – at Bani Gala.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #212121; font-family: inherit; font-size: 19px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 27px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

“The PTI’s Punjab plan collapsed as the senior most leaders from the province were present in Islamabad while the second-tier leadership, which was tasked to mobilise and bring the public to Islamabad, courted arrests or did not attend calls of their superiors,” he said.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #212121; font-family: inherit; font-size: 19px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 27px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“They [party’s Punjab leaders] just disappointed Imran Khan,” he said, adding that these leaders would be made answerable for their failure in the coming days.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #212121; font-family: inherit; font-size: 19px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 27px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
This situation forced Imran to take refuge behind the Supreme Court of Pakistan that is currently hearing the Panamagate case, contrary to his previous announcement that the protest would go ahead side by side with the court hearing.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #212121; font-family: inherit; font-size: 19px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 27px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
According to another senior leader, this was the reason why names of PTI Punjab organisers – Mian Mehmoodur Rashid, Ijaz Chaudhry, and Chaudhry Sarwar – were first not included in the list of speakers who were to address the thanksgiving rally in Islamabad on Wednesday.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #212121; font-family: inherit; font-size: 19px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 27px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“Imran Khan asked for the list of speakers prepared by his close confidants. Punjab organisers’ names were not there. He intervened and directed to include their names so as not to give a negative message to the public and media about his anger for them,” he said.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #212121; font-family: inherit; font-size: 19px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 27px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
In every crisis there is an opportunity for someone. And the PTI’s K-P chapter, headed by Pervez Khattak, appeared as a beneficiary of that crisis for at least fighting and creating a scene on national level, he added.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #212121; font-family: inherit; font-size: 19px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 27px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“For that reason he was the last speaker before Imran Khan to take the podium contrary to the past practice when Shah Mehmood Qureshi used to address the public before Imran Khan,” he said.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #212121; font-family: inherit; font-size: 19px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 27px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

A PTI spokesperson when contacted negated the impression, saying the PTI was united and ready to fight the atrocities of incumbent regime. “Punjab leaders planned to leave for Islamabad on November 2 morning but before that the Supreme Court intervened and defused the tension,” he said.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #212121; font-family: inherit; font-size: 19px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 27px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
About the 6 am call made by Imran to the K-P chief minister, the spokesperson said Imran had asked Khattak to go back to Swabi from Burhan interchange and come back after regrouping, adding that there is no reality in the claim that Imran was disappointed with Punjab organisers.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #212121; font-family: inherit; font-size: 19px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 27px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“In speeches delivered on the thanksgiving day, leaders from Punjab were given 40 per cent share, while they can also be seen sitting in the front row on the container,” he added.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #212121; font-family: inherit; font-size: 19px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 27px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
He said since day one Imran Khan was demanding that either Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif step down or present himself for accountability. “Our prime demand is met and now the prime minister’s case on corruption charges is under consideration at the apex court,” he concluded.</div>

How Social Enterprises and Impact Investors Can Move the Needle to Achieve the SDGs</h3>
<div class="excerpt" style="float: none; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; margin: 1em 0px; position: static;">
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Last month the UNDP and Impact Hub organized the first <a href="http://www.europe.undp.org/content/geneva/en/home/ourwork/social-good-summit.html" style="color: #666666;" target="_blank">Social Good Summit in Geneva</a>, bringing together impact investors, international organizations and entrepreneurs to discuss how to scale up and finance impact-driven ventures to accelerate the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;">
There was a great appetite at the summit to exchange ideas. Investors were looking to meet with innovative ventures and discuss how to create a reliable pipeline of investable entrepreneurs. Bilateral and international agencies were eager to learn how to increase funding sources and leverage their resources to implement the SDGs. Not to mention the presence of five entrepreneurs, selected through the rigorous <a href="http://accelerate2030.net/" style="color: #666666;" target="_blank">#Accelerate2030 programme</a>, who hoped to identify partners and supporters to scale up their respective ventures.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<h2 style="border: 0px; color: #00a1e0; font-size: 1.143em; letter-spacing: 0.32em; margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px; text-transform: uppercase;">
<strong>SDGS ARE GOOD FOR BUSINESS, HOW DO WE PUT THAT IN MOTION?</strong></h2>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Betting on social entrepreneurship to accelerate the implementation of the SDGs makes sense from an impact and a financial return perspective, but the sector requires both financial and non-financial support. To put it simply, entrepreneurs need to unlock three doors: finance, market and talent.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;">
When asked about key impediments to growth, Verena Liedgens, CFO of <a href="http://www.agruppa.co/" style="color: #666666;">Agruppa</a>, sees the key challenge as professionalization. “Everything related to back office – accounting, HR and IT – is a barrier to scale,” she said. “Social entrepreneurs in Europe and the U.S. can at times access pro bono services. This is not the case in emerging markets where companies often don’t have the resources to buy them but need them to grow.”</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;">
A <a href="http://c.ymcdn.com/sites/www.andeglobal.org/resource/dynamic/blogs/20150609_114557_10161.pdf" style="color: #666666;" target="_blank">2014 report</a> from the <span style="color: black;">Aspen Network of Development Entrepreneurs </span>shows the value of incubators and accelerators providing early- and growth-stage companies with leadership skills, operational support and access to technology, and facilitating peer mentoring. The need to strengthen that part of the picture was certainly one of the main conclusions of the summit discussion on scale, as the demand for support exceeds largely what is freely available.</div>

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; direction: ltr; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 17px; padding: 0px;">
Warmly welcoming the delegation, the Prime Minister appreciated the Chinese delegation’s fruitful interaction with Ministries of Finance, Petroleum & Natural Resources, Water & Power and Capital Development Authority.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; direction: ltr; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 17px; padding: 0px;">
The Prime Minister expressed hope that members of the Chinese delegation will have a productive visit in the backdrop of briefing by various ministries about immense potential for investment in Pakistan’s infrastructure development, energy and communication sectors.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; direction: ltr; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 17px; padding: 0px;">
Appreciating the prudent and practical measures taken by the government for the revival of the national economy, the members of the delegation said that Pakistan is fully ready as well as capable of absorbing and capitalising the Foreign Direct Investment.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; direction: ltr; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 17px; padding: 0px;">

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; direction: ltr; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 17px; padding: 0px;">
The Prime Minister expressed his gratitude to the leadership and brotherly people of the People’s Republic of China for their all weather support that is getting stronger with each passing day.

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; direction: ltr; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 17px; padding: 0px;">
He said that the economic outlook of Pakistan has altogether changed in the last three years, which is being acknowledged globally. Standard and Poor’s (S&P) has also upgraded Pakistan’s ranking to B from B-; Pakistan is among this year’s global top 10 improvers in Doing Business 2017, the Prime Minister expressed with satisfaction.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; direction: ltr; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 17px; padding: 0px;">
Inflation is continuously on downward trend while reduction in petroleum prices also helped in decreasing inflation, he further added. He said the Foreign Exchange Reserves have now increased to over $24 billion. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; direction: ltr; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 17px; padding: 0px;">
“Our Investment Policy has been designed to provide a comprehensive framework for creating a conducive business environment for the attraction of FDI,” the PM said. Pakistan's policy trends have been consistent, with liberalisation, de-regulation, privatisation, and facilitation being its foremost cornerstone, he stated. The Law of Special Economic Zones (SEZ) has been made to meet the global challenges of competitiveness to attract Foreign Director Investment (FDI). </div>

APP adds: The spokesman of Ministry of Planning and Development and Reforms said on Friday that work on the Western corridor of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is progressing in full swing and reaffirmed that the route would be completed by 2018.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; direction: ltr; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 17px; padding: 0px;">
The 650 km long Gwadar-Quetta section of the Western route has already been completed which according to the given time line was to be delivered in December 2016, this shows the work pace is not only smooth rather we are moving on fast track and ahead of time.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; direction: ltr; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 17px; padding: 0px;">
He made these remarks while clarifying a news item appeared in a section of the Press regarding CPEC and maintained that the points raised by honourable members in a meeting of Senate Committee on CPEC are inappropriate based on lack of information.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; direction: ltr; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 17px; padding: 0px;">
In a statement issued here, the spokesman stated that completion of the Western route would bring a new era of development and prosperity for the people living in the underdeveloped areas.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; direction: ltr; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 17px; padding: 0px;">
He said that construction work on the 285 km DI Khan-Hakla Road has also been commenced.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; direction: ltr; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 17px; padding: 0px;">
The spokesman said, CPEC is a multi-sectoral cooperation between Pakistan and our all weather friend China.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; direction: ltr; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 17px; padding: 0px;">
All decisions regarding CPEC projects and its execution are made with mutual consultation keeping in view the interests and well-being of the people of Pakistan, he said.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; direction: ltr; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 17px; padding: 0px;">
Therefore, the apprehensions expressed by the honourable members of the Senate Committee on CPEC are baseless and unfair, he added.</div>
