PESHAWAR
\nAmun Taraqqi Party (ATP) chairman Muhammad Faiq Shah while reacting to capsizing migrant boats in Greek coast, killing more than 12 Pakistanis, calling it as a national tragedy and matter of grave concern for relevant government institutions, which had claimed thousands lives in a year.
\nIn a statement issued here on Monday, Shah said no policy and workable mechanism was crafted on such a tragic incident.
\nThe party leader demanded stern action against all illegal agents, especially those people within the country and abroad involved in the illicit business of human smuggling\/trafficking.
\nHe furthermore suggested data should be gathered and to make arrangements for youth employment.
\nHe called for pragmatic steps to create employment opportunities by setting up small industries, launching self-employment schemes and interest-free loans.
\nHe also demanded a complete investigation should be conducted into these human tragedies.
\nShah raised the question: \u201cIs it a difficult task for the government and relevant institutions to gather data and make legislation\u201d?
\nThe party leader said countless agents were working unlawfully in the country.
\nHe asked: \u201cWhy police, FIA and other law enforcement agencies couldn\u2019t halt the increasing human smuggling and trafficking\u201d?
\nFurthermore, he questioned \u201cwhy governments failed to make policy for unemployment and youth\u201d?
\nFaiq said the ministry of foreign affairs, interior and law are equally responsible for this crime.
\n\u201cHuman smuggling and money laundering didn\u2019t control, when will the institutions take initiatives\u201d?
\nHe went on to say that answers to these are public queries, killing of dozens of innocent people and awful deaths must be given.
\nFaiq said ATP has expressed grief and sorrow over the irreparable human loss and we equally shared with grief and the difficult situation of the victims\u2019 families.
\nThe party chief said all institutions were engaged in a tug of war of politics.
\nHe said there was no planning and strategy to resolve the public issues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
