An important message from The Leader

An important message
You have probably heard on the news that the Labour Party caucus today made a unanimous decision to suspend Chris Carter from the caucus. I want you to know the reasons behind that decision.
This decision was taken after letters were sent to news media containing statements that were not true, and which were calculated to damage the party and the leadership. Chris Carter has admitted he was responsible for those letters and their distribution.
As of now Mr Carter is no longer a member of the Labour Party caucus. The New Zealand Council of the Labour Party will shortly consider his membership of the Labour Party itself.
Just weeks ago I offered Chris Carter a chance to rehabilitate himself following issues around his frequent travel and excessive expenses. I gave Mr Carter a chance to work himself back into the fold. I gave Mr Carter the chance to get on with doing the work in the Conservation portfolio.
Today there are no more chances. Chris Carter's future in caucus has come to an end.
Loyalty is important to Labour Party members, and I know members will be disappointed that their loyalty to Chris has not been repaid.
We have a lot to do, and it is unacceptable to be distracted from our job standing up for the hardworking New Zealanders who do the work, pay the taxes, raise the kids, and play by the rules.
New Zealanders are today confronting prices rising faster than wages, and a Government that has no idea how to create the jobs and future we need. That’s got to be Labour’s priority and focus.
Phil Goff
Labour Party Leader

Golden Rule

90-day changes unfair. Phil Goff

National’s decision to expand its 90-day probation period to all workplaces is a slap in the face for all salary and wage earners. Labour is not against a probationary period. That already existed under law. But nobody deserves to be sacked without being given a reason.
The new law allows employers to sack employees without explaining why and without any comeback if the dismissal was unfair.
How would it feel if, less than three months into your new job, you were told you were surplus to requirements? No reason given, no discussion, no comeback.
John Key claimed he wanted New Zealand wages to catch up with Australia’s. It is hard to reconcile this with his new workplace rules which will depress wages and weaken work conditions.

Migrants will be hard hit by labour law changes

16 July 2010 Media Statement
Migrants will be hard hit by labour law changes
An extension of the ‘fire-at-will’ law and reduced access to union support could potentially exploit migrant workers and people on work permits, Labour Party Associate Ethnic Affairs spokesperson Dr Ashraf Choudhary says.
“It is already common for migrants to feel discrimination, exclusion and prejudice when they arrive in a new country and enter employment. I do not see how the 90-day-trial and lack of union representation will do anything other than make things worse,” Ashraf Choudhary said.
“Some refugees, particularly, have a fear of authority figures, because they have experienced torture and brutality. As a result they are reluctant to report things. We need to be very mindful of this. This plan may simply add extra pressure on families.
“Newcomers need time to adjust to the environment, language barriers and the demands of their new job. Migration involves profound loss and stress for families,” Ashraf Choudhary said.
Ashraf Choudhary said there is also potential for some employers to exploit international students, who are allowed to work 20 hours a week, by offering them the minimum wage and then getting rid of them when they want to.
“Since becoming the Government, National has introduced the 90 Day fire-at-will law, stripped workers of rights around meal breaks, scrapped the Pay Equity Unit, will soon announce an attack on the Holidays Act, and is now about to remove the right of workers to have access to union representation.
“I urge the government to consult the ethnic and migrant communities before taking workers’ rights away from them. With increasing diversity in our workplaces, it’s important that the views of migrants are taken into account before making decisions like this.”

Baba Bullay Shah - Ghaflat

May 2010 (By ریحان احمد یوسفی) گور پیا کوئی ہور بابا بلھے شاہ (1680 - 1757) پنجابی زبان کے مشہور شاعر ہیں ۔ وہ لوک شاعری کے کلاسیکل طرزِ کلام یعنی ’کافی‘ میں اشعار کہا کرتے تھے ۔ بلھے شاہ کی کافیاں صدیوں سے عوام میں مقبول رہی ہیں ۔ اس کا سبب ان کے کلام کی سادگی اور خوبصورتی ہی نہیں بلکہ اس میں پائے جانے والے حکیمانہ نکات اور انسانی نفسیات کی پیچیدہ گرہوں کا خوبصورت بیان بھی ہے ۔ اس کا ایک خوبصورت نمونہ ان کی مشہور کافی ’میرا رانجھن ہن کوئی ہور‘ کا یہ لافانی مقطع (آخری شعر) ہے : بلھے شاہ اساں مرنا ناہیں گور پیا کوئی ہور (بلھے شاہ ہمیں مرنا نہیں ہے ، قبر میں کوئی اور پڑ ا ہے ) یہ حقیقت ہے کہ انسان کبھی اپنے آپ کو قبر میں پڑ ا ہوا نہیں دیکھ سکتا۔ کیوں کہ ایسا صرف انسان کی موت کے بعد ہوتا ہے جب انسان کچھ دیکھنے کے قابل ہی نہیں رہتا۔ انسان زندگی بھر دوسروں ہی کو قبر میں جاتے ہوئے دیکھتا ہے ۔ آخرکار ایک روز وہ خود بھی قبر میں جاپہنچتا ہے ۔ مگر انسان زندگی بھر اس طرح جیتا ہے جیسے کہ اسے مرنا ہی نہیں ہے ۔ وہ سمجھتا ہے کہ قبر صرف دوسروں کے لیے بنی ہے ، اسے کبھی قبر کے گڑ ھے کو نہیں بھرنا۔ انسان کی یہ سوچ دو طرح کے نتائج پیدا کرتی ہے ۔ ایک یہ کہ وہ غفلت کا شکار ہوکر ساری زندگی دنیا کی رونق اور اس کی فراخی کے پیچھے بھاگتا رہتا ہے اور قبر کی وحشت اور تنگی کو بھول جاتا ہے ۔ وہ اپنے وقت، دولت اور صلاحیت کا تمام تر استعمال صرف دنیا کے فوائد کے لیے کرتا ہے ۔ وہ آخرت کے فائدوں اور نعمتوں کو بھولے رہتا ہے ۔ یہاں تک کہ موت کا سفیر قبر کا بلاوا لیے اس کے دروازے پر آکھڑ ا ہوتا ہے ۔ اس وقت انسان کو ہوش آتا ہے ، مگر اب ہوش کا کیا فائدہ۔ اس سوچ کا دوسرا نتیجہ یہ ہوتا ہے کہ انسان احتسابِغیر کی نفسیات میں جیتا ہے ۔ وہ سمجھتا ہے کہ قبر صرف دوسروں کے لیے ہے ۔ اس لیے احتساب بھی انھی کا ہونا چاہیے اور وہ خود ہر احتساب سے پاک ہے ۔ اس پر جب کرپشن کے الزام لگتے ہیں تو وہ چلا اٹھتا ہے کہ دوسروں کا احتساب کیوں نہیں ہورہا؟ اس کی غلطی اور زیادتی جب اس پر واضح کی جاتی ہے تو وہ دوسروں کو اصلاح کا درس دینا شروع ہوجاتا ہے ۔ جب اس کی کمزوری اس پر کھولی جاتی ہے تو وہ دوسروں کے عیوب گنوانے لگتا ہے ۔ دنیا پرستی اور احتساب غیر دونوں عادتیں قبر کو بھولنے کا لازمی نتیجہ ہیں ۔ ان میں سے احتساب غیر کی عادت کی اصلاح زیادہ مشکل کام ہے ۔ اس لیے کہ یہ کرنے والا درحقیقت ایک سیاسی سوچ کو اصول کے لبادے میں چھپادیتا ہے ۔ ایسا آدمی بظاہر اصول پسندی اور قانون ضابطے کی بات کر رہا ہوتا ہے ، مگر یہ محض اپنی بڑ ائی اور طاقت، اپنے مفادات اور بادشاہی کو قائم رکھنے کی ایک ناکام کوشش ہوتی ہے ۔ یہ اصول کے نام پر سب سے بڑ ی بے اصولی ہوتی ہے جو اس وقت بالکل کھل کر سامنے آ جاتی ہے جب کوئی طاقتور سامنے آکھڑ ا ہو یا جب اپنے کسی عزیز اور پیارے کا کوئی مسئلہ سامنے آجائے ۔ ایسے میں احتساب کی بات کرنے والوں کو قانون اور اصول سب بھول جاتے ہیں ۔ اور انھیں طرح طرح کی حکمتیں اور مصلحتیں یاد آنے لگتی ہیں ۔ افراد کی شخصیت کی کمزوریاں ڈھونڈنے والے خدائی فوجدار، سڑ ک پر لوگوں کو بلاوجہ روکنے والے سپاہی، دفتروں میں عام آدمی پر رشوت نہ دینے کے جرم میں جرمانہ کرنے والے کلرک، دفتروں میں تاخیر سے آنے والوں کی سرزنش کرنے والے افسر، بظاہر سب اصول کی بات کرتے ہیں ۔ مگر اصول کی بات صرف اُسے زیب دیتی ہے جس کا پیمانہ سب لوگوں کے لیے یکساں ہو۔ جو دوسروں کا احتساب کرنے سے قبل اپنا احتساب کر چکا ہو۔ جو دوسروں کو سبق پڑ ھانے سے قبل اپنے سارے سبق یاد کر چکا ہو۔ جس کا پیمانہ یکساں نہیں ، جس کو اپنا سبق یاد نہیں ، اس کا احتسابِ غیر خدا کے حضور اس کا اپنا احتساب شدید تر کر دے گا۔ کیونکہ قبر میں صرف دوسرے ہی نہیں جاتے ۔ ایک روز آدمی خود بھی قبر میں جاپہنچتا ہے

MASHALLAH

Cleaner wins acclaim after handing in $50,000 cash

 

  Karachi

Mr Khan has been invited to Lahore to receive an award for his good deed

A Pakistani hotel employee has won acclaim after handing in over $50,000 (£33,000) in cash that had been left behind by a guest.

Essa Khan, 51, discovered the money in $100 notes left in the room of a Japanese worker at the Serena Hotel in Gilgit.

Mr Khan, who earns about 21,000 rupees ($235; £153) a month, says he never considered keeping the money.

He has been invited to receive an award from a state governor for his honesty.

"My duty with the hotel and my family upbringing teaches me nothing else," he said.

"Times are hard for everyone, but that doesn't mean we should start stealing and taking things which do not belong to us."

'Relieved'

The father-of-five says he hopes the incident will help portray his country in a good light.

The Pakistani government has been riddled with accusations of corruption.

"I want people around the world to know that there are many good people in Pakistan - everybody is not a terrorist here."

Hotel manager Rajid Uddin told the BBC there had been similar instances where lost items had been returned, but none "on this magnitude".

He said the guest had been relieved when the cash was found.

"He was naturally very worried as he wasn't able to figure out where he had lost the money," he said.

Mr Khan said he had already received an award from the hotel, and that Salman Taseer, the governor of Punjab, had congratulated him and invited him to Lahore for a ceremony.

Pakistan Number 1 In NZ

Aisam-ul-haq Qureshi was born on March 17, 1980, in Lahore. He is a professional tennis player representing  Pakistan in major international tennis events. Like other pakistani boys, Aisam used to play cricket and soccer in his school. Along with that he started playing tennis as a hobby. It all started when he was 14 years old when his mother took him to the tennis club and they used to play with each other. "I never thought I would be a professional tennis player when I started", says Aisam When he turned to 16, he got into the ITF team which sponsored him for two years. This was the turning point of his life. Later on, he had a successful junior career he managed to get to No.7 (in juniors). In 1998, Aisamul haq became world number 11 player in junior tennis. This achievement made him Pakistan's highest-ranked tennis player. By the time he had defeated several world junior champions including Andy Roddick (American), Taylor Dent (American), Artem Derepaasco, Simon Dickson (British), Oliver Rochus and Nathan Healy (Australian). After that,  he mostly played Pakistan Davis Cup team and ATP tournaments and began appearing ITF tournaments all over the world. After winning plenty of titles, Aisam jumped to top 200 players of the world in men's single and was counted in top 100 in doubles. In 2002, Aisam played with Israel's Amir Hadad in Wimbledon as well as in US Open. They got eliminated in the 3rd and 2nd round of wimbledon and US open respectively. In 2007, Aisam became the third tennis player of Pakistan to qualify for the Wimbledon. Khwaja Saeed Hai was the first man to represent Pakistan at Wimbledon singles in 1954, 1955  and 1956. Then it was Haroon Rahim who played at Wimbledon in 1976.  Aisam is not the only Tennis player in his family. His mother Mrs Nausheen Ehtesham was also a tennis player winning Pakistan's several ladies single titles in 1982. She has also represented Pakistan in the Fed Cup, which is women’s version of the Davis Cup. Her father Khawaja Iftikhar Ahmad was also a tennis player who represented both Pakistan as well as India in Davis Cup. In response to the question asked in an interview about his entry into the Tennis, Aisam said, "Tennis is in my blood". It would not be wrong to say that Aisam inherited Tennis from his ancestors.

MADINAH: Former boxing champion Mike Tyson, who embraced Islam while serving a prison sentence in the 1990s, is on his first visit to the Kingdom to perform Umrah. He arrived in the holy city of Madinah on Friday to perform prayers at the Prophet’s Mosque.

While in Madinah, Tyson met Dr. Muhammad Al-Oqala, president of the Islamic University, who briefed the world heavyweight champion on the services being rendered by the university to students from across the world.

From Madinah, Tyson will travel on to Makkah to perform Umrah, press reports said. He will also visit Jeddah, Abha and Riyadh as part of his Saudi tour. His visit to Saudi Arabia was arranged by the Canadian Dawa Association (CDA) as part of visits it organizes for new Muslim celebrities to the Islamic sites in the Kingdom. Shazad Mohammed, president of CDA, was present at Prince Muhammad International Airport in Madinah to receive Tyson.

Mohammed, an ambassador of peace with the United Nations, said Tyson would be in the Kingdom for one week, visiting the holy places as well as important landmarks in the country and meeting with Saudi people to get to know their culture and traditions.
