Former defense secretary Shamshad Ahmed Khan, renowned analyst Syed Mowahid Hussain Shah, Brig (r) Farooq Hameed and people from various walks of life were present on the occasion. Dr Kamran said that Pakistan enjoyed great reservoirs of natural resources including gold, coal, gas etc but unfortunately, we were not exhausting them for national development. He said that international powers imposed wars between Arabs and Turks for Israel, which was the bone of contention in the world. He said that DMG was an iron cap on the head of Pakistani nation because of which the country was not nourishing. Mr Shamshad Ahmed Khan said that our Army was doing its job and our rulers should also do their job because the country could not progress unless we improve our governance. He said that Pakistan’s internal challenges were more serious then external’s and our institutions had collapsed and we should not blame the US and India for it. He said that we were not measuring up the expectations of Quaid-e-Azam and Allama Iqbal and unfortunately, our rulers preferred personal interest to national interest.

He said that no country was so important in terms of its geographical position like Pakistan but we made our asset as our liability. Syed Mowahid Hussain Shah said that our democracy was a fraud. He said that Indonesia, being the largest Muslim country, must be give veto power in the United Nation as a representative of the Muslim world. He said that a campaign must be launched to activate O.I.C and an Islamic fund must be established. He said that Pakistan’s representation and presentation was very poor at international level. He said that creation of new provinces was not in the interest of the country rather it was equal to balkanization of Pakistan. Brig (r) Nadir Mir said that his book was very differently written on the topic and the subject of geopolitics must be taught in the institutions of higher learning.
