The All Pakistan under-19 Debating Championship 2011 was held from October 28 to 31 at Aitchison College Lahore. Aspiring young debaters from 40 institutions from all over Pakistan participated in it. SICAS Lahore, Aitchison College Lahore, Lahore Grammar School (LGS) Johar town and Karachi Grammar school were the four semi-finalists at the event.
LGS Johar town lifted the trophy by proving to the house that strong armies build strong nations. Karachi Grammar School did a wonderful job at opposing the motion. US consulate Council General Nina Maria Fite was the chief guest and was impressed by the standard of the debate. Ibrahim Rabbani from LGS Johar Town was declared the best speaker of the tournament. About 30 top speakers were short listed for the national camp, which would be held later this week, and would play a vital role in the selection of the National Pakistan team to represent Pakistan in the world debates scheduled to be held in South Africa in 2012.
Debating Society Pakistan (DSP) President Taimur Bandey said such activities provided a healthy platform for the youth to interact and reflected that the real picture of Pakistan was very different from what was projected and perceived internationally.
