Dr Shahid Qureshi:
Asif Zardari and his corrupt regime are undermining Pakistan's national interests in a very sophisticated way. Appointment of corrupt, incompetent and compromised people on the top position is on top of his agenda.

[Pak-Media] PR: UN-HABITAT commemorates one-year anniversary of floods with photo exhibition.

 

Press Release:

UN-HABITAT commemorates one-year anniversary of floods with photo exhibition.

 

Islamabad, July 30^th- UN-HABITAT organized a photo exhibition commemorating the one-year anniversary of the 2010 super floods. The exhibition was a tribute to the beneficiaries of the on-going projects of UN-HABITAT in the 20 most flood affected districts of Pakistan. United Nations Special Envoy, Mr. Rauf Soysal attended the exhibition with his wife.

 

UN-HABITAT flood relief interventions are targeted towards rehabilitating almost 250,000 people through an integrated approach of one-room shelters, hygiene, sanitation and water schemes and community infrastructure works. One year after the floods, work is underway in 422 villages with the support of the Government of Japan and in 64 villages with the support of DFID.

UN-HABITAT Country Programme Manager, Mr. Siamak Moghaddam thanked the donor community, especially DFID and the Government of Japan, whose generous contributions have funded UN-HABITATs flood relief project interventions. He stressed on the need to make communities more resilient through proper training and participation so they could build back safer and better.

 

Activities marking the one-year flood anniversary began with a field trip to village Qasba Gujrat, Muzaffargarh facilitating Special Envoy Soysal to the project sites. He said that, " This project, that UN-HABITAT is running with great success, is giving high morale, energy, and self-confidence to the communities.  It is not about assistance, but it is more about building together better structures and better constructions with the people.  The ownership and the leadership of the community are what struck me the most."

 

The exhibition featured photos of 38 beneficiaries that were taken by UN-HABITAT staff Torsum Khan and Miki Yoshimura. With the kind support of Mr. Kazuo Tase, Acting Director for the United Nations Information Centre (UNIC), the event hosted several heads of UN agencies, members of the donor and humanitarian community. The event ended with songs of hope from Uzair Jaswal and his band mates Waleed, Asfandyar, Parham, Zakria and Abu Bakar.

[Pak-Media] Press Conference- Chief Justice Asked to Take Note of Corruption in Superior Judiciary

 

CJP URGED TO TAKE NOTE OF UNPRECEDENTED ILLEGALITIES COMMITTED BY SENIOR JUDICIARY WITH JOINT PLANNED INVOLVEMENT OF BUREAUCRACY IN VIOLATIONS OF HUMAN RIGHTS WHICH IS DANGEROUS TO THE STABILITY AND EXISTENCE OF THE COUNTRY

 

Islamabad: [July 31]

A top retired government official on Sunday asked the Chief Justice Pakistan Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry to take note of excesses perpetrated on him and his family by Additional Registrar Peshawar High Court.

 

Former Provincial Secretary and Senior Member Board of Revenue, Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa, Reayat Khan said that Additional Registrar Peshawar High Court, Dera Ismial Khan Bench, Rauf Khattak has managed to emerge as most powerful and rich person in the area.

 

Now, the politically motivated official is employing all the resources including fake cases and harassment to deprive him of his property, said Reayat Khan while speaking at a press conference at National Press Club.

 

He said that he has served the nation at a highly responsible level and has delivered honestly and efficiently and after about seven years of his retirement he and his sons are continuously being involved in fake, baseless and built up cases like aerial firing etc.

 

He clarified that the players in the fake and baseless cases are Mr. Rauf Khattak and Sahibzada Khurshid Ahmed Additional Registrars Peshawar High Court.

 

It stands proved that Additional Registrar Peshawar High Court Sahibzada Khurshid is harassing witnesses, concealing facts, filing inquiries on baseless grounds to the extent that he has shown living witnesses as dead in his inquiry report to provide protection to Mr. Rauf Khattak.

 

He said that involvement of judicial officers in such cases has stigmatised judiciary and he can furnish proof of wrongdoing of judicial officers if given full hearing.

 

He demanded that apart from corrupt politicians and bureaucrats, judicial officers should also be held accountable, especially those who have made fortunes.

 

The veteran bureaucrat said that a case was framed against him and his son to stop the later from appearing in the competitive examination and to irreparably damage his whole family and perpetuate their tension/torture.

 

"Former Senior Member Board of Revenue Ahsanullah Mehsud, SP Investigation Karak Anwar Saeed Kundi, DPO Karak Sajid Mohmand, SDO Fata Construction Sub Division, Peshawar Sher Afzal are directly involved in the malpractices, illegal acts with corruption as a regular and continuing process," he said.

 

Member Board of Revenue KPK Hussain Zada is yet another player who submitted an exparte, flawed biased and glaringly illegal inquiry report despite repeated no trust expressed in him  which amounts to deliberate, brazen/naked partiality and unprecedented violation of the fundamental law, he said.

 

Meanwhile, Mr. Gul Muhammad Khan and his son Muhammad Rizwan had appeared his witnesses before the inquiry officer and also produced their written affidavits before him levelling allegations against Rauf  Khattak including the making of false and frivolous case against Raeyat Khan and his sons and illegal and exparte cancellation of 17 years old mutations , closure of joint family street etc. The inquiry officer has made no mention of it in the inquiry report which is highly shocking/surprising.

 

Reayat Khan made a stirring appeal to the CJP to take note of violation of law for personal unholy designs by the senior judicial officers like Mr. Khurshid Ahmed who concealed the concrete and documentary facts to the extent that responsible government servant living and functional has been shown as dead, the healthy as sick and ailing, the resourceful as financially weak-unable to afford the travelling expanses from DIK to PHC for appearance as witness.

 

To be brief if senior judicial officers entrusted with conducting judicial inquiry resort to twisting, perverting, and above all killing the ground realities where should the victims go for justice, he questioned.

[Pak-Media] UNFPA Press Release on Pakistan Early Recovery Flood Response 31 Jul 2011

 

Dear Media Colleagues,

The 2010 floods brought to the forefront women living in rural and underprivileged areas of Pakistan affecting an estimated 500,000 pregnant mothers among the 20 million people. Their vulnerability was further exacerbated by malnutrition, trauma and fatigue due to long journeys to safer areas or camps, and by subsequent poor hygiene.

UNFPA supported the Government and made a major humanitarian response to the floods and continues to assist the flood-affected communities, in particular the women who need maternal health services through mobile service units as part of an outreach programme for areas that has no functional health facilities.

For more information and setting up interview with Mr. Rabbi Royan, UNFPA Country Representative, please contact:

Press Release

Flood-affected Pakistanis still need reproductive health services -
UNFPA works to fill the gap

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan 31 July 2011-- One year after Pakistan's worst flooding in decades, UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund, continues to deliver comprehensive reproductive health care services as part of its humanitarian response.

In August 2010, the Fund's immediate response after the floods struck was to support basic reproductive health services for the displaced. Now, during the recovery phase, the Fund is focusing on upgrading health facilities to provide comprehensive emergency obstetric care.

The floods brought to the forefront women living in rural and underprivileged areas of Pakistan, some of whom had never been to a doctor before. Current maternal mortality figures show that one out of every 89 Pakistani women will die of maternal causes, whereas complications of childbirth still account for one fifth of deaths among women of childbearing age.

An estimated 500,000 pregnant women were among the 20 million people affected by last year's flash floods. Their vulnerability was further exacerbated by malnutrition, trauma and fatigue due to long journeys to safer areas or camps, and by subsequent poor hygiene.

Given the immense needs, UNFPA in collaboration with the Government and civil society partners started to deliver urgently needed maternal health services through mobile service units as part of an outreach programme for areas that had no functional health facilities.

Damaged health facilities were refurbished and female health care providers were recruited to restart basic services. The Fund, among other things, provided personal hygiene, newborn and clean delivery kits to tens of thousands of women. Reproductive health equipment and supplies sufficient to cover an estimated population of 6 million were distributed within the past year, making this one of UNFPA's biggest humanitarian operations globally.

Today, the emphasis is on helping flood-affected people rebuild their lives. "A vast majority of people have gone back but some are still here and are in need of services. Those who have gone back are more aware of their health needs." says Ceemab, a Community Health Worker from Khairpur, Sindh. "Women who come to see us are very scared that there will be another flood this year and they will again lose the little that they have managed to build back in a year." she adds.

"The buying capacity of the flood-affected people who have returned to their areas has decreased significantly," says Dr. Jameel Chaudhry, UNFPA Provincial Coordination Officer in Punjab. "There is a need to provide services at minimal or no cost, as the returnees cannot afford out-of-pocket health expenses."

The Fund is now working to provide, where possible, free reproductive health services in Government-owned health facilities. The focus is to strengthen quality and improve the accessibility of services. However, sustainability of services remains the biggest challenge as it requires support and commitment from the Government at district and provincial levels.

A programme aimed at protecting displaced women and girls from violence was also initiated last year. Coordination mechanisms, co-led by the Department of Social Welfare, were set up both at the federal and provincial level. Referral systems were established for the survivors to receive medical, legal, and psychosocial support. Twelve women-friendly spaces were also set up to reach women in affected communities.

"UNFPA will continue to provide humanitarian assistance in reproductive health and gender-based violence programmes for flood-affected communities as well as for people internally displaced as a result of conflict," Said Mr. Rabbi Royan, UNFPA Representative in Pakistan.
