1. Save Your Generation
This program is focused to understand the importance of the cross boarder conflict and their resolution. Conferences and seminars are conducted to facilitate the participants of the target countries to understand background of the conflicts and identify the solutions to resolve the conflicts.
2. Understanding the Development in Asia
Asia is comprised of variety of cultures and traditions. Its countries are similar and differ in many ways. Besides traditions and culture, the countries also differ in possessing diversified natural and human resources. Resources in different parts of Asia play their different role. Development factors like natural resources, human capital, education and political system play their role in harmonizing and developing the nation. This program aims to provide opportunities to different stakeholders across Asia, to sit together and share their learning and knowledge about their countries. The participants are encouraged to prepare policy level suggestions from success stories to help the governments for improving living standard of the people. FUTURE PLANS
International political Forum intends to perform following activities in future.
1. Formation of Shadow Cabinet.
Asian countries are governed by democratic system. But democratic culture is still not properly developed in these countries. It is believed that political parties in power do not give importance to the public interest and mostly impose policies that are against the public interest or some of the civil society groups. Both Government and opposition remain polarized and do not play effect role with mutual understanding. Some times ruling parties lack the capacity to formulate or implement suitable policies. On the other hand opposition parties instead of positive criticism, continue to resist the government instead of supporting their good work. It is therefore needed to introduce the concept of shadow cabinet within the opposition parties, convincing and facilitating them to keep prepare their own plan and suggestions to turn the government in right way.
International Political Forum intends to facilitate the formation of Shadow cabinet in Pakistan expecting effective performance of the democratic institutions.
2. Capacity Building of Opposition Parties
Opposition parties are not less important representative of their country. Leaders of these parties have also their vote bank and represent their voters. International Political Forum intends to build the capacity of the elected representatives of the opposition parties of south Asian countries helping them to play their effective role in the parliaments to protect the rights and interests of the people of country.
3. Formation of Pressure Groups
Civil society groups of the south Asian countries perform their activities yet there is need to organize and coordinate them. It is believed if the vastly spread civil society groups overcome their internal weaknesses and improve their strengths, through proper coordination; they may perform as resourceful actors of the good governance. IPF intends to facilitate the civil society groups of south Asian countries to work in active coordination to form effective pressure groups, resisting the governments and institutions from working against the public interest.
Fields of Work
International political Forum is working in the following fields
1. Governance
IPF conducts different events including seminars, conferences and workshops for the participants of the target countries, to facilitate and provide opportunities of sharing their knowledge, experiences and successful case studies regarding good governance. Resource persons from different countries and agencies facilitate the participants through their lectures.
2. Democracy
IPF believes that democracy is the only system of governance that moves the nations towards prosperity. IPF believes that if the democratic institutions are well developed and ensure people empowerment, the nation automatically makes progress towards national development, ensuring international peace and developed bilateral cooperation. South Asian countries are still in the learning process of democracy. IPF works with the stakeholders concerned for the development of democratic institutions and opinion building through its different activities to promote a democratic culture in Pakistan.
3. Infrastructure
Infrastructure plays major role in the progress of a nation and its prosperity. IPF is conducting its researches in the target countries to highlight the status of infrastructure in the target countries and its impacts on social and economic development of the target country. IPF believes that infrastructure development lead to poverty reduction and effective resource mobilization for the prosperity of the people and the country.
4. Energy
Energy is the basic need for the progress of the people, industry and trade. Countries that timely developed their energy resources made fast progress as compared to the others. Energy is the source for running industry, agriculture and production of consumer goods. IPF conducts seminars and meetings among the participants of the public interest groups and institutions to identify the situation of energy demand and its supplies. These types of events facilitate the participants and the public interest institutions to formulate their policies according to the public interest.
5. Water
Water is used in south Asian countries for domestic, drinking, industrial and agricultural purposes. Most part of these countries is facing the problem of water scarcity. IPF is more interested to know about the water resources of the target countries. Different research papers have been consulted in this field. IPF itself is conducting a research to understand the situation of water in the target countries and its demand for the future. IPF also is in the process of studying the existing policies and laws concerned with the water issues.
6. Terrorism
Terrorism and violence of law are the elements that are currently under discussion in the world. Even the developed countries are victim of these evils. IPF is trying to study the root causes of terrorism and violence in its target countries. Different meetings with the intellectuals, dialogues and conferences are organized to achieve the objective. A research study is being carried out to find out the factors behind terrorism in the subcontinent.
7. Human Rights
It is believed that the status of human rights is not better even in the developed countries like United States of America. But it is worst in the poor and developing countries like Pakistan, India and Bangladesh. IPF is conducting a research study to know about the Status of human rights in the mentioned countries during the years 2007 and 2008.
8. International Relations
Progress of a country is related to its international relations. With the introduction of the idea of Global World, it is not possible for a country to remain confined to its boundaries. International relations of a country support it to share resources and information with each other. Trade of the country is also related to international relations. It is compulsory for a country to develop its international relations to facilitate its citizens for their multidimensional progress. As south Asian countries are involved in different mutual conflicts, they need to improve their international relations for better negotiation to resolve the conflicts. IPF is studying the nature of international relations of the target countries. IPF is also planning to conduct workshops to promote the diplomatic culture to resolve the conflicts in the target countries.
9. Food Security
Pakistan is suffering the problem of food crises. It is a tragedy that this region has all the resources and capacities of food production in surplus quantity. Food crisis is the result of mismanagement and different kinds of malpractices. IPF is conducting different activities to help the governments of the target countries in identifying the root causes of the problem and finding solutions to the issue. Conferences, meetings and seminars are conducted with the stakeholders to analyze the issue and find solutions to the problems.
10. Natural And Human Resources
South Asian countries are blessed with a lot of natural and human resources. But these resources are not developed. Natural resources are still to be taped. Where as human resources are not developed. Efficient and skilled manpower is exported to foreign countries for better earning. Where as unskilled labor with less productivity remains in the countries to earn and feed the dependants. IPF works with the representatives of the stakeholder institutions to find out better solutions for resolving the issue in the target countries.
11. Cross Boarder Conflicts
There are many conflicts among the member countries of south Asia. Major conflicts are concerned with the water resources, geographic boundaries, terrorism, smuggling and human trafficking. IPF conducts meetings, workshops and dialogues with the participants of the target countries representing the concerned institutions to discuss the issues and their solutions.
12. Justice & Civil Liberties
Unfortunately the people of South Asian countries are facing the situation of injustice and violation of civil liberties from government authorities now a day when there is the debate of global world. Law enforcement is considered as depriving the people from their rights by imposing different laws in the name of governance. The people of these countries are not availed the opportunities of civil liberties and are continuously facing the injustice in the country. People have no access to justice and civil liberties. IPF intends to disseminate and encourage the knowledge of human and civil rights among the stakeholders, to enable the general public to access the justice and civil liberties as their right.

CHAIRMAN,
DARBAR HAZRAT KHALID WALID FOUNDATION,
Saint Hazrat Khalid Walid came in the Subcontinent with the troops of Sultan Mehmood Ghaznavi. It is believed that the said Saint was a great thinker and a pious man. Governor of Multan, troops and the Local people, equally respected him. The saint is believed one of the earliest preachers in the subcontinent who flamed the light of Islam in many areas of the subcontinent. He died in 910 A.D. when he was on his travel of preaching. He was buried with great respect where he died. Ahmad Nabi a famous writer narrates in his book “Multan History and Architecture” that Ali Bin Karmakh, a powerful governor of Multan ordered to construct his tomb and a mosque around it, during his reign (1175 – 1185).
The mosque built around the tomb is said to be the oldest mosque of the northern areas of the subcontinent. The most important feature of the monument is its Mehrab built in center of western wall of the mosque. Borders of the Mehrab were decorated with Qurani verses in Kufi inscription in the cut brick technique. The tomb and the mosque is under informal administration of the Federal Department of Archaeology AND darbar hazrat khalid walid foundation which is chaired by a renowned politician mahr naeem jota who is elected by the council of foundation.
The tomb of Saint Hazrat Khalid Walid and the attached mosque is religious, historical and cultural asset. Some portions of the tomb are so dangerous that any accident may result in human causality. Few years ago some unknown people stole the cut bricks of Qurani verses from Mehrab of western wall of the mosque. But no action had been taken against the criminals.
