An eight-member media delegation from Afghanistan visited the Punjab University (PU) on Friday. PU Vice Chancellor (VC) Professor Dr Mujahid Kamran, along with other senior faculty members, welcomed the delegates at the Centre for Undergraduate Studies.
Addressing the delegation, the PU VC said Afghanistan and Pakistan were inseparable and that Afghanistan was important, not just for Asia, but for the entire world as the battle for the future of mankind was being fought there. Kamran said the policies of the great powers of the world were being controlled by a cabal of rich families who had divided the mankind through repeated deceptions and now wanted a war on the basis of artificially contrived “terrorism versus civilization conflict”.
The same families had funded the Bolshevik Revolution and Hitler simultaneously and had, subsequent to WW-II, duped mankind into the “communism versus democracy conflict”. The PU VC said since 9/11, North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) forces had been located in either oil and gas rich regions or regions through which oil and gas was transported. The Afghan war, the Iraq war, the Libyan war, the Sudan conflict, all were prompted by the United States (US) and allied agencies in service of their corporate masters.
Kamran offered five scholarships to Afghan students to come and study at the PU. The scholarships will cover all expenses of the Afghan students. The meeting unanimously resolved to promote knowledge of nature among the Afghans and Pakistanis through a cooperative effort.
