Youth’s role vital in peace building The Dawn Sunday, 24th Nov 2013 #Islamabad Though the #youth can play a very important role in #peace building, they have not been provided a proper platform by political parties in the country. This was stated by speakers at the National peace summit organised by the Search for Common Ground (SFCG) in partnership with the Sustainable Development Policy Institute (SDPI) here on Saturday. Former information minister and PPP leader Qamar Zaman Kaira said his party was established by the youth. He said a common ground should be searched for the youth to ensure peace in the country. Unfortunately, continuity of democracy could not be maintained in the country due to which policies regarding the youth were not implemented. The government should invest in the youth and create opportunities for them, he said. Senator Haji Adeel of the ANP said his party gave importance to the youth and also started training workshops for them when it was in power in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
