them.<br />

cursed the parliament,” he<br />

WASHINGTON: Tens of<br />
thousands of protesters were<br />
expected to take to the streets<br />
of New York, Los Angeles<br />
and Washington on Saturday<br />
for the second Women’s<br />
March, a multi-city mass<br />
rally hailed as the start of a<br />
new era of female political<br />
activism.<br />
This year’s demonstration<br />
is being held in coordination<br />

other cities across the United<br />

damn mad last year and<br />
they’re pretty damn mad this<br />
year,” said Tamika Mallory,<br />
co-president of the Women’s<br />
March board.<br />
Like last year, thousands<br />
of marchers are expected to<br />
don pink knit “pussy hats”,<br />
which were created as a joking<br />
reference to a comment<br />
made by Trump about<br />
female genitalia and quickly<br />
became a symbol of<br />
women’s empowerment and<br />
opposition to the new president<br />
in the early days of his<br />
administration.<br />
Mallory said the rallies<br />
may take on a light-hearted<br />
or even celebratory tone at<br />
times, but added: “We also<br />
know that serious business<br />
have carried out more than<br />
150 ceasefire violations<br />
along the Line of Control<br />
and the Working Boundary<br />
in just 20 days, resulting in<br />
the shahadats of 9 innocent<br />
civilians, while injuring 40<br />

This unprecedented<br />
escalation in ceasefire violations<br />
by India is continuing<br />
from the year 2017 when the<br />
Indian forces committed<br />
more than 1900 ceasefire<br />
violations).<br />
The deliberate targeting<br />
of civilian populated areas is<br />
indeed deplorable and contrary<br />
to human dignity, international<br />
human rights and<br />
humanitarian laws.<br />
The ceasefire violations<br />
by India are a threat to<br />
regional peace and security<br />
and may lead to a strategic<br />
miscalculation.<br />
The Director General (SA<br />
& SAARC) urged the Indian<br />
side to respect the 2003<br />
Ceasefire arrangement;<br />
investigate this and other<br />
incidents of ceasefire violations;<br />
instruct the Indian<br />
forces to respect the ceasefire,<br />

the agitating elements will<br />
have to face defeat once<br />

<strong>2018</strong>. In a statement<br />
issued here Saturday he<br />
said the politics of agitation<br />
and chaos serves as<br />
poison for the development<br />
of country.<br />
“those behind dharna<br />
politics are not opposing<br />
me but they are opposing<br />
economic uplift of the people,<br />
he remarked. These<br />
elements are scared of the<br />
fastest ever development<br />
of the country, he added.<br />
Dharna group has done<br />
nothing during the last<br />
four and half years except<br />
wasting the time of people,<br />
he underlined.<br />
He held PML-N has<br />
always done politics of<br />
serving the people. The<br />
agitating elements have<br />
not delivered to the people<br />
of their respective<br />
provinces, therefore, they<br />
are feeling shame today ,<br />

estimated 5 million who<br />
marched on <strong>Jan</strong>. <strong>21</strong>. 2017<br />
and made that one of the<br />
largest mass protests in U.S.<br />
history.<br />
Despite the more modest<br />
expectations this year, organizers<br />
hope to build on the raw<br />
energy felt by Trump opponents<br />
immediately after his<br />
surprise election victory and<br />
channel it into gains for progressive<br />
candidates in<br />
November’s midterm elections,<br />
using the theme<br />
“Power to the Polls.”<br />
Specifically, organizers<br />
want to register a million<br />
new voters and get more<br />
strong advocates for<br />
women’s rights into office.<br />
Activists say Trump’s<br />
policies rolling back birth<br />
control and equal pay protections<br />
have propelled many<br />
women into activism for the<br />
first time. A White House<br />
spokesman did not respond<br />
to a request for comment on<br />
the marches. The rallies also<br />
come during what has been<br />
seen as a pivotal year for<br />
women’s rights with the<br />
#MeToo and #TimesUp<br />
social media effort against<br />
sexual harassment and abuse<br />
that was born out of a string<br />
of scandals in Hollywood,<br />
Washington and elsewhere.<br />
Some critics said this<br />
year’s march lacked a focus.<br />
Targeting an issue such as<br />
lengthy list of 300 witnesses<br />
was a ploy to target the<br />
resistance leaders and<br />
activists to malign them<br />
and link them with subversive<br />
activities and prolong<br />
their unlawful detention.<br />
“The incarcerated leaders<br />
have nothing to do with<br />
funding case and therefore<br />
we demand their unconditional<br />
release. There is no<br />
constitutional and moral<br />
justification to arrest these<br />
people and detain them in<br />
Tihar Jail,” he added.<br />

More than four million children<br />
have been impacted by<br />
extreme violence in Iraq,<br />
many robbed of their childhood<br />
and forced to fight on<br />
the frontlines, the United<br />
Nations Children’s Fund<br />
said Friday. “Last year alone,<br />
270 children were killed,”<br />
said UNICEF Regional<br />
Director Geert Cappelaere<br />
following a recent visit.<br />
“Some will bear the physical<br />
and psychological scars for<br />
life due to exposure to<br />
unprecedented brutality,” he<br />
added, pointing out that over<br />
one million children were<br />
forced to leave their homes.<br />
immigration would have<br />
greater impact, said Shikha<br />
Dalmia, a senior analyst at<br />
the Reason Foundation, a<br />

“Beating the feminist<br />
drum just seems to me beside<br />
the point. Maybe they are trying<br />
to cast as wide a net as<br />
possible,” Dalmia said by<br />
telephone. The marches will<br />
be followed by more events<br />
