A specially-abled youth, Abid, presented the resolution in Braille, acknowledging the sacrifices made for Pakistan's creation, lauding the role of the armed forces, and commending PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari for enhancing Pakistan's stature through successful diplomatic initiatives. The resolution pledged that persons with special needs would remain active contributors to the nation's development and urged the youth to remain united in the service of the motherland.
In a symbolic gesture, MPAs and specially-abled students read excerpts from Quaid-e-Azam's historic speech, while two young girls rendered selected portions in sign language.
Another specially-abled participant, Tauseef, recalled the night of May 7, when the PAF, under Operation Bunyanum Marsoos, shot down six Indian fighter aircraft within minutes, while the army stood steadfast on the Line of Control. He termed it the night of 'Marka-e-Haq,' representing the nation's unyielding resolve.

Suicide attack foiled in Balochistan, suspect arrested: CM Bugti
Balochistan Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti on Monday said the security forces foiled a major terrorist attack on Independence Day and arrested a 'would-be' suicide bomber, terming it a breakthrough against insurgents in the province. Addressing a press conference alongside top officials, Bugti said the suspect, Dr Mohammad Usman Kazi, a Grade-18 university lecturer, had planned to target citizens on Aug 14. He was also allegedly involved in facilitating the November 2024 Quetta Railway Station bombing, which killed 32 people and injured more than 50. Bugti said the suspect belonged to the banned Balochistan Liberation Army's (BLA) Majeed Brigade, which operates in multiple tiers and has intensified its attacks on security forces. 'This is the first time security forces have arrested a leader from the 'sophisticated' tier of the group,' he noted. He said the arrest prevented 'huge destruction' and praised the Counter-Terrorism Department and police for their role in the operation. A recorded statement of the suspect was aired at the briefing, in which he confirmed his academic and professional background, as well as his government-employed family members. Rejecting the narrative that militancy is driven by deprivation, Bugti argued that the suspect and his family were well-educated and financially stable, with government jobs and scholarships. 'This concocted narrative is used to legitimise the fight against Pakistan,' he remarked. The chief minister warned that those who shield militants would face strict action. He recalled that neighbours of a 'to-be suicide bomber' connected with Kazi resisted police during a raid, adding that all of them had since been arrested. Bugti also highlighted broader counterterrorism measures, saying the provincial government had investigated over 2,000 people, including government employees, under the Fourth Schedule. Some were cleared, while others were suspended or terminated. 'We will not spare anyone. We'll fight this war in both warfare and lawfare,' he said. Balochistan has seen a surge in militant violence in recent months, with groups like the BLA adopting new tactics to inflict higher casualties and directly target security forces.

Youth should work with their hearts and minds, and always strive for excellence.

Has Quaid's economic vision been ignored?
On July 1, 1948, the Quaid-e-Azam articulated his vision for Pakistan's economic system. He strongly emphasised the need for a framework based on Islamic principles. He believed the Western economic model could not realise equality and happiness. He tasked the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) to develop a system that ensured prosperity and fairness for all. In his words, "We must work our destiny in our own way and present to the world an economic system based on the true Islamic concept of equality of manhood and social justice. We will thereby be fulfilling our mission as Muslims and giving to humanity the message of peace, which alone can save and secure the welfare, happiness, and prosperity of mankind." Unfortunately, after the Quaid-e-Azam, Pakistan lost its direction. The country adopted the liberal economic model without a comparative analysis. The liberal approach failed to deliver and created multiple problems. The country is now facing an economic, financial, and social crisis. Overemphasis on the private sector and private sector-led growth has triggered crises like the IPP-driven circular debt. This debt has crippled the economy. Growth remains under stress, and despite efforts, Pakistan is struggling to find a sustainable way to improve its growth rate. The social indicators are even more alarming. The World Bank estimates about 44.7% of the population lives below the poverty line. Of them, 16.5% are in extreme poverty, struggling to meet basic daily needs with no certainty about the future. Poverty is rising, despite government claims of investing in programmes like the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP). Each year, billions of rupees are spent on BISP, but the results are disappointing. Poverty continues to increase, raising questions about the programme's effectiveness and sustainability. Food insecurity is another concern. A 2013 study estimated that 58.8% of Pakistanis were food insecure. Conditions have likely worsened due to poor economic performance. Devaluation of the PKR has eroded people's purchasing power, limiting access to healthy food. Mismanagement in the agricultural sector has also led to lower production and reduced availability of quality food. These problems stem from structural flaws in the liberal model. It promotes wealth accumulation in a few hands and lacks redistribution mechanisms. Therefore, the first step to revive the economy should be adopting a more effective system. A study of different models shows each offers something useful. Yet, the Islamic economic model stands out as one of the most comprehensive. Why? Because it was designed by the Creator of the universe and implemented by His Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). The Prophet established a distinctive system of economics and well-being for humanity. This is why the Quaid-e-Azam urged the State Bank to base Pakistan's model on Islamic principles. The Islamic system denounces individualism, promotes collective welfare, discourages accumulation, and glorifies sharing with the needy. To achieve this, Islam introduced two powerful instruments. The first is the ban on Riba (interest), considered the root cause of economic and social ills. Riba is strictly prohibited. No one is allowed to give, take, or facilitate it. Islam views it as an exploitative practice and act of injustice. It accrues benefits by exploiting others' difficulties. It also contradicts the principle of kindness and societal norms. Societies thrive on cooperation, helping people overcome hardships. But a Riba-based system enables some to profit from the misery of others. This creates divisions, weakens cohesion, and breeds class systems. Riba also discourages investment in productive sectors. It prompts people to de-invest, undermining production and job creation. Many prefer to keep money in banks and earn interest without effort. This de-investment starts at the individual level and extends nationally. Thus, instead of a Riba-based system, Islam promotes kindness and voluntary sharing. Islam encourages Riba-free loans that support individuals and communities. The second instrument is Zakat, a system for redistributing wealth. The beauty of Zakat lies in its mandatory nature, but it applies only to the wealthy. This contrasts with liberal systems where everyone pays taxes regardless of income. In Islam, wealthy individuals must share at least 2.5% of their wealth with the poor. Zakat is an annual obligation, and the wealthier one grows, the greater the contribution. No additional rules or regulations are needed. Zakat distribution is restricted solely to the poor. It targets the most disadvantaged, aiming to improve their lives and living standards. The process continues until prosperity is widespread, and those eligible for Zakat no longer exist. This mechanism reduces inequality and bridges social gaps. Although mandatory for Muslims, other economic systems can also learn from it as a valuable case study. Zakat has an important economic dimension too. It boosts domestic consumption, which businesses seek. The poor use Zakat resources to buy essential goods and services. This stimulates markets and creates new business opportunities. Such instruments are not found in other models. The Islamic system prioritises social development and welfare without discrimination based on religion or ethnicity. It respects the right to accumulate wealth but binds it to social norms and Islamic laws. It fosters a culture of care and discourages exploitation. This creates the foundation for peace and prosperity. Yet, despite offering the best solutions to humanity's challenges, these instruments are not fully applied anywhere. Even Muslim countries and individuals, for whom they are obligatory, neglect them. Zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam. Still, implementation remains weak. Interestingly, in the modern world, we find limited resemblance in socialism with Chinese characteristics. This system helped China tackle poverty and inequality. But Muslim countries remain far from practicing their own divinely guided model. In conclusion, Pakistan must return to the Quaid-e-Azam's vision and adopt Islamic principles to build its economic framework. If not, the crises will persist, and the country will remain trapped in cycles of poverty, inequality, and instability.
