Local bodies politics is among the vital issues yet either it is ignored or misused by dictators since Ayub till Mushraff extensively. Current hybrid democracy is also reluctant to use it. Had our governments, federal as well as provincial, used it during Corona we would have better results. How PTI government ruined it in the Punjab, the biggest & vibrant province is the worst example of misusing Local government just to achieve short term goals in immediate politics. Dr Abdus Sabor, tries to unfold it, 

Muhammad Abdul Saboor (Phd.) has over 28 years of experience of working on development initiatives based in Pakistan, with specific thematic focus on WASH, disaster management, Governance & Democracy, Local Government, Human Rights, Counter Violence Extremism (CVE), youth & women empowerment and child protection. With a specific focus on the Pakistan, he has an excellent regional knowledge and experience, having worked with numerous stakeholders including government officials, political parties, parliamentarians, universities, vocational institutions, local governments, minority groups, local development organizations, media and government line departments.

He has taken numerous initiatives to promote opportunities for marginalized in improved local governance, strengthening citizen’s voices and peace building through implementation of 200 projects with NGOs, Punjab Sports Board, Sports Associations, Media, Universities, District and Provincial Governments and Women Councilors Network.   

As a human right activist, he was instrumental in voicing and serving for the rights of women, minorities and marginalized segments of the society.

He served in many INGOs, Punjab Information Commission and NGO. Currently, working as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at Lodhran Pilot Project (LPP), Dr. Muhammad Abdul Saboor has initiated the idea of Clean & Green Lodhran campaign in 2018 and also be the part of many initiative like first Urban forest of South Punjab in Lodhran and working in contributing and strengthening national and regional strategies and contribution in SDGs.

Palestine , who is making fool 

Gaza attack failed & it has exposed Israel, its new & old friends, OIC and Nitanyahu local political aims.

Veto at UNSC by US, three times, also reminded us cold war days but this time China, as head of UNSC and EU (in.spite of Brexit) stood away from Israel along with Russia & some Muslim countries like Iran & Turkey proved that we are living in post cold war era.

70  years Pak China Friendship

It is time to revisit 70 years, from May 21, 1951 till May 21, 2021. Thanks to colonial legacy, there is an Anti China lobby even before the birth of both Pakistan & Bharat. In a link given below you can check who was in favor of Pak China ties since late 1940s in Pakistan but it is also a reality that there were issues in Pak China friendship narrative. Both China & USSR were Reds but in our official narrative USSR was against Islam yet Red China was acceptable. Since 1950s, Mian Iftiqar uddin, H S Suhrawardy, Z A Bhutto & Mian Nawaz Sharief  supported Pak China relation
