Sajjad To Chair MEP's Code of Conduct Committee

Former opponents in the race to be the European Parliament President for 2014-2019 came together this week to bury the past behind them and focus on the future of the Parliament, particular on improving transparency.

European Parliament President, Martin Schulz, appointed British Pakistani MEP Dr Sajjad Karim for a second time to chair his Advisory Committee on the Code of Conduct for MEPs.

The committee, established in 2012, sees dual national Dr Karim continue his chairmanship from last term.

During the meeting in the President's private office the two men had a fruitful exchange and the atmosphere was relaxed.

After the meeting Dr Karim said:"It is an honour to be re-appointed by the European Parliament President to Chair the President's committee which oversees the ethics and transparency.

"The committee has made great strides in giving citizens more access to declarations of financial interest of MEPs. All declarations are published online and MEPs have to know give more information such as declare any third party payments they receive."

The Advisory Committee is composed of five MEPs, with two reserve MEPs. Dr Karim is the only dual national MEP to serve on the committee. The Code of Conduct came into force on 1 January 2012 and has worked to publish more information of MEPs expenses and outside interests online.

Citizens now have greater access to see what their MEPs are doing outside the Parliament.

Anangpal Tanwar

Anangpal Tanwar was the first ruler to make ancient Delhi his capital.


Little is known of Anangpal Tanwar, who was from the Gurjar Tanwar clan and whose ancestors had settled in the Aravalli Hills around the end of the first millennium AD. Some archaeological evidence survives of earlier settlements survive in the area and may be related to a ruler called Surajpal. Of Anangpal, the primary source for information comes from the Prithviraj Raso, a history of Prithviraj Chauhan which was written much later. Physical evidence at Lal Kot (literally Red Fort), which he is thought to have built and which is the oldest identifiable city in the area, suggests that he lived in the eleventh century.[1][2]


The Tanwar rule at Delhi passed to his son, Ausan Singh (Tejpal) and then his grandson Kosal Dev Singh (Mahipal) before the dynasty collapsed when challenged by Prithviraj Chauhan (1149-1192).

GURJAR ISM words by Thakur Yashpal Singh Rajput

Ref: http://www.scribd.com/doc/77571532/Gurjar-Ism



GURJAR ISM

“It is beyond human power to lessen the dignity of the Gurjars”

, words by Thakur Yashpal Singh Rajput, famous historian and researcher of Indian History. Millions liters blood of Gurjar community flooded on this earth for protection of our culture and religion. It is bitter historical truth thatdifferent invaders committed mass assassinations of Gurjars and differentinvaders and foreign rulers snatched their lands and powers from them as Gurjar community always created resistance against foreign invaders and cruel rulers time to time for 1000 years right up to Revolt of 1857. During these resistances, they lost their powers, properties, and miserably came to end in British era. It is the beginning of deep pains of the poverty andcontinues until date that developed an inferiority complex in entire Gurjar community. It is always my subject matter to have brain storming, how to reinstate the prosperity of Gurjar community, how to show this community the days they were bearing in their past, how to create an accountability for their sacrifices that they did time to time for conservation of the Indian culture, for protecting mother earth and religion? We have to reinstate the Gurjar community to all the states that it was bearing in their past. If we go through the history of Gurjars then we find that they were having their own culture that still exists in Gurjar community, they have articulated social laws that are included in their culture. Then what is the wrong? I am not the one capable to make any comment upon such great community at once, but what I found is that, they have everything but there is lack of unity and an articulated intercommunity cooperation system! Yes, it is fact that they have great culture, capabilities and everything that an ideal noble community bears, but, due to absence of an intercommunity cooperation system, Gurjar community, the ruler of this territory, now laid behind time. They were rulers of maximum territory in India up to the revolt of 1857 but as all these statesdid not have any sort of unity mechanism, intercommunity cooperationsystem and coordination that weakened their power to fight against modern warfare of British. Due to this, their assets have been destroyed, purposefully kept away from development, their fertile lands have been snatched, their political importance have been degraded, created the circumstances that developed inferiority complex into them that ruined generations and once prosperous Gurjar community transformed into a poor community in India due to lack of intercommunity cooperation system. Now it is time to awaken the community and set for achieving whatever we lost in the past, now it is time to rectify all our mistakes that our forefathers have committed in past, now it is time to take care of the thing that everyone, even the Government machinery, should listen to our voice. How it is possible? Obviously, thequestion comes and the answer is Gurjar ISM, Gurjar IntercommunitySurvival Movement, is an initiative to reinstate Gurjar community’s Golden days as were in the past. Even though we call it a development process butas per my vision it is not only a development process but also it is a process of reinstating Gurjar community to the state and power at all levels that they were bearing in the past.

Turbulences

Gurjar, Gujar, Gajjar, Gujjar, Gojara, Gujaran, Gojar, Gujara etc and so manyto reckon are the names and attributes for Gurjar community, mentioningGurjar here, as I am Gurjar. As Gurjars are living since our culture exists and ruled over maximum territory of the Asia, they were the rulers thus have long, noble and pious history. If I put the entire history here that is not be appropriate as it is out of scope of this document as noble and dignified history of Gurjars cannot be framed into some thousands of pages but that requires millions of pages and one life is not sufficient for writing entire history of Gurjars. However, I consider it necessary to put some historical facts in front of my brothers and sisters, they are necessary and we all should read, understand those pages very carefully, and then think where wearer and what to do? What mistakes we have been committing? To whom, we, at this time, have to consider responsible for such drastic situation of Gurjar Community now days? I completed Engineering and was facing interview then an incident happened and I inspired from the incident. It was when Ihave to go to Mumbai; it was Bombay at the time, for competitiveexamination for the post of Engineer in Telecommunication Department.After finishing written exam, day after tomorrow was the oral examination. On the day of oral examination, I approached the office where the interview was organized. I saw a person passing by, he was Gurjar, I was in crowd, some meters away from him, I called loudly in our own Gurjari language, he stopped, but his bodily reaction was not fair. Even though I reached him asking all the routine questions in Gurjari language, he was calm not uttering single word. I confused, then he told me in pure Marathi to not to speak in Gurjari language. Anyway I finished talking with an oath in my mind to not to speak with that person again in life, continuing the oath until date. The incidence was simple but it had raised so many turbulences in my mind. Why he said me to speak into Marathi only? What are the reasons that developed inferiority complex in Gurjar community? Even when I was schooling I used to ask a question to myself every community is progressing why not Gurjars? Why Gurjars try to hide their caste? Why they do not speak their own Gurjari language in public? Why they hesitate to speak Gurjari Language? Gurjars have great population why they do not have remarkable influence on Indian politics. Why they are not in the main stream of Power and Politics? Who resist them to enter into the main stream? Why there are resisting them? Income of the constituencies Gurjars votes are influential and Gurjar can beeasily elected, then why Gurjar person doesn’t fight election from thatconstituency and rather to become slave of that MLA or MP why he himself come into political power? Why Gurjars do not have any media house yet? While the communities very small in population, not genetically sound,having no noble history at all to count them to be liable for ruling over anyconstituency, they are having a big marriage hall, Samaj Bhavan orcommunity hall? Another very dirty question that always makes me awake from the sleep is, other communities who do not have right history and if it is that have no connection with history of Gurjars, they are snatching our history from us and we are just in the role of audience. Why Gurjar do not protest such matters? Are we really sleeping or pretending to sleep?

DR. MUHAMMAD AMJAD SAQIB

DR. MUHAMMAD AMJAD SAQIB

(Sitara-a-Imtiaz)
Email: amjadsaqib1@gmail.com
Cell: +92 300 842 0495

A medical graduate from King Edward Medical College, Dr. Amjad Saqib was selected for the nation’s topmost bureaucratic institution, the elite Civil Service of Pakistan with great distinction in 1985. Having stood out as a public servant, right when his career was about to move towards higher echelons, he resigned in 2003 with the intent to dedicate himself to becoming a social entrepreneur and make a difference in societal change through Akhuwat – which had already been founded and launched by him in 2001 and had meanwhile started taking strides towards the force it was to become.

The salient feature of his public service career – one that perhaps changed the course of his life – was his last assignment, a five-year stint as general manager of the Punjab Rural Support Programme (PRSP) from 1998 to 2003.

It is here that he had the opportunity to closely examine the various initiatives of poverty alleviation, participatory development and conventional microfinance. And this made him realize that “something different had to be done”. This desire to do ‘something different’, something more effective as a panacea for the poor spurred him on to conceive and introduce an interest-free microfinance model based on the idea of Mawakhat or brotherhood.

This makes Akhuwat a unique microfinance organization – indeed the first of a kind. The model has by now been replicated in two countries but at close to $100 million in base capital Akuwat remains the largest such institution in the world.
Meanwhile, Dr. Amjad Saqib took his Master’s degree in Public Administration through Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship from the American University, Washington D.C., USA. He also studied at LUMS, where he completed the one-year LUMS - McGill University Program in Social Enterprise & Management.

Dr. Saqib is founder of Akhuwat and Akhuwat is his real passion but he also renders honorary other services for many other NGOs. He is Vice Chairman Punjab Educational Endowment Fund, Chairman Management Committee Fountain House, Honorary Managing Director Punjab Welfare Trust for the Disabled, Member Board of Director Punjab Education Foundation, Member Syndicate Punjab University, Member Syndicate University of Education, Commissioner Punjab Health Care Commission, Member Punjab Red Crescent Society. Recently, Prime Minister of Pakistan appointed him Chairman Steering Committee for Prime Minister’s Interest Free Loan Programme.

Work:
Besides his pro bono work for Akhuwat, for a living Dr. Amjad Saqib is a highly sought after consultant, and has provided consultancy to various highbrow international development agencies, such as the Asian Development Bank, International Labour Organization, the UNICEF, the World Bank, Canadian International Development Agency, USAID and DFID.

This consultancy work has also been in his core area of interest: poverty alleviation, microfinance, social mobilization and education management.

Dr. Amjad Saqib is also a regular guest speaker at the Civil Services Academy (CSA), the National Institute of Public Administration (NIPA), the Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) and many other professional forums. He has also been among the visiting faculty at the Kinnaird College, Lahore, the Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM) and the University of Punjab. He has spoken at Harvard, Cambridge, Oxford, LSE, Warrick and Kings College London.

In recognition of his services across many spheres, on March 23, 2010 the President of Pakistan honoured him with Sitara-a-Imtiaz, a most coveted civil award.

Publications:
Dr Amjad Saqib has also authored six books. These are: Shehr-e Lab-e-Darya (Khushal Khan Khattak Literary Award Winner), AikYadgarMushaira, Gautam Kay Des Mein (A travelogue to Nepal), published by Sang-e-Meel Publications), and Ghurbat aur Microcredit. Subsequently, he wrote another travelogue Akhuwat Ka Safar, and a compilation based on real life stories of victims of loan sharks, Dasht-e Zulmat. Another book, under the title Shahab-e Saqib is under publication.

Dr. Amjad Saqib indeed is a prolific writer, and his exceptionally well-written columns appear quite frequently for leading Urdu dailies Nawa-i-Waqt, Jang, Pakistan, Nai Baat and Jinnah. These are mostly on current affairs, events, ideas and personalities, and, according to critics, have the pleasing touch of a litterateur.
