Changemaker: Qaisar Roonjha

At present the gravest problem that Pakistan is facing is terrorism. It has become a headache for federation and a nightmare for public. Though, it is a global issue but Pakistan has to bear the brunt of it. Pakistan’s involvement in the War on Terror has further fuelled the fire. We are facing war like situation against the terrorists. This daunting situation is caused due to several factors. These factors include social injustice, economic disparity, political instability, religious intolerance and also external hands or international conspiracies. A handful of people who have their vicious interests to fulfil have not only taken countless innocent lives but also distorted the real image of Islam before the world through their heinous acts. Terrorist acts like suicide bombings have become a norm of the day. On account of these attacks Pakistan is suffering from ineffaceable loss ranging from civilian to economic. People have become numerical figures, blown up in numbers every now and then. Terrorists have not spared any place. Bazars, mosques, educational institutes, offices, hotels, no place is safe anymore. Balochistan is one of its main part along with the other province lik kahyabar Paktunkwa, since January 2012 till today about 1570 people have lost their lives in different events of violence 2 of the main factors in Balochistan affecting are religious intolerance between different sects and lake of acceptance between different communities, As Changemaker I believe it’s time to take step forward for a peaceful Balochistan by involving youth as part of peace promotion process, and I believe Youth can play a major role in the peace promotion activities in Balochistan, This step will help to understand the difference and to make Balochistan better place to live. We will use Sports to help people to understand the difference and to work for better world to live.
