## China–Pakistan Economic Corridor

[edit]

Main article: China–Pakistan Economic Corridor

National Youth Organisation NYO has played a central role in raising the issue of China–Pakistan Economic Corridor on all forums, rallies have been taken out throughout Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan against the change in a route that was to pass through Dera Ismail Khan, Zhob, and Quetta. National Youth Organization called first-ever All Parties Conference on the issue on 17 February 2015 with the approval from the parent party Awami National Party in Islamabad, which was participated by major political leaders including Party President Asfandyar Wali Khan, Opposition Leader Syed Khursheed Shah, Shah Mehmood Qureshi Vice Chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf, Maulana Atta-ur-Rehman and Maulana Sherani of JUI-F, Hasil Bizenjo President National Party, Aftab Ahmad Khan Sherpao Chairman Qaumi Wattan Party. The All Parties Conference was chaired by the Central President of National Youth Organization Khushal Khan Khattak, a presentation on the subject was delivered by its Senior Vice President and Chair of Research and Action Committee China Pakistan Economic Corridor Sulaiman Mandanr. The All Parties Conference acted as a launchpad for the movement against change in route. It was followed by protests, rallies, and public gatherings in different cities of the country. The Awami National Party Balochistan Chapter along with National Youth Organization Balochistan Chapter organized a large public gathering in Quetta followed by a shutter down strike and another All Parties Conference. This pressurized the Federal Government to call an All Parties Conference in which all participating parties agreed on the building of the western route on priority. While the issue is still being discussed insufficient funds allocated to the western route have raised concerns about over-commitment by the Federal Government and Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. Awami National Party Parliamentary leader in the Senate with help of National Youth Organisation research committee prepared proposals for amendment in the proposed budget and while chairing the Senate of Pakistan Finance Committee rejected the allocations of funds for Western Corridor and asked the Federal Government to allocate at least 100 billion for the route. The Federal Government has held talks with Awami National Party leadership which were also participated by National Youth Organization Central Leadership before the APC and after the pre-budget announcement of PSDP. National Youth Organisation continues to play an important role on the issue.
