CSAS organized seminar
Lahore: Punjab University Centre for South Asian Studies (CSAS) organized a seminar on East Pakistan Debacle & Our Contemporary Responsibilities.

Prof. Dr. Khawaja Muhammad Zakaria, Former Dean Faculty of Oriental Learning, University of the Punjab, Lahore, Prof. Dr. Syed Riffat Hussain, Chairman Department of Defence & Strategic Studies, Quaid-e-Azam University, Islamabad and Prof. Musarrat Jabeen, Department of International Relations & Political Science, University of Sargodha, Sargodha were the guest speakers.

Dr Musarrat said that language controversy (which was started in 1948) played a crucial role in the creation of East Pakistan yet India's exploitation in this regard can not be set aside.

Prof. Dr. Khawaja Muhammad Zakaria said that no doubt so many factors led to the debacle of East Pakistan, still it is the need of hour that we as a nation fully realize our responsibilities. The constitution of 1973 must be brought into its original form, he said adding that the leaders of political parties in our country have become like dictators and they own parties as their inherited legacy.

Thus the political parties should develop a democratic attitude within the parties. Prof. Dr. Syed Riffat Hussain said that the concept of power sharing needs to be understood. The implications of six points of Mujeeb are important even to this date, as Balochistan is a clear example of this case, if we replace natural resources of Balochistan by Jute.

He said that the youth should become pro-active and should not lose their sense of purpose and faith. Prof. Dr. Muhammad Saleem Mazhar, the Director Centre for South Asian Studies also spoke. He said that only those nations are successful in the world which learnt from their history.

It is the high time that we should learn lesson from our past mistakes in order to have secure future. Several faculty members, M.Phil and Ph.D scholars of various disciplines also attended the seminar. F.P Report
