It seems that the days are gone when conventional weapons were used by the countries. As expected by the world intellectual forums that the new era of Biological Warfare will likely ruin the face of ‘lobe. This is what Coronavirus outbreak has been linked. Particularly, the USA and Chinese trade war added fuel at the fire, Things went bad to ‘worse when the novel virus escalated its strength and within two to three months, caused the worst consequences when killing people and damaging ‘world economy. However, there are many ‘conspiracy theories that it is a synth made virus, yet the cat is not out of the box. For row according to some researches, the Covid-I9 virus is a member of the coronavirus family that made the jump from animals to humans last year. Many of those initially infected either worked or frequently shopped in the Huanan seafood wholesale market in the centre of the Chinese city of Wuhan, Unusually for a virus that has made the jump from one species to another, it appears to transmit effectively in humans ~ current ates show that without strong containment measures the average person who eatches Covid-19 will pass it on to two others. The virus also appears to have a higher mortality rate than common illnesses such as seasonal flu, Hence, t has now been an alarming prablem for entire world to tackle it ‘The mortality rate of the Covid-19 is said to be less than 2, Much higher figures have ‘been flying about in Italy, USA and other nations, but the chief medical officer, Chris Whitty, is one of those who believes it will prove to be 1% or lower. The World Health Org ization’s director encral, Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, talked or aay sigur wa caleuated by ding the mumber ot death by the number of offi Confirmed cies It observed there ae many ore mld aes hat donot get hospi ana 030031 not being counted, particularly in developin® countries like Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and [African nations, which would bring the mortality rate significantly different. Deaths are highest I" the elderly, with very low rates among younger people, although medical staff who treat patients and get exposed to a ot of virus are thought 0 De more at risk, But even among the over-805, 90% ‘As far as the cause of the COVID-19 is whether the virus concerned, # related question was made in the laboratory purposefully, oF did the virus made in the laboratory accidentally escape the laboratory. The Iab-eseape theory is xy theory. It had so far the more widely accepted conspirae’ media, and gained been circulating on soci y following aNew York considerable visi Post article in late February. Steven Mosher, a social scientist, summarizes why he believes COVID-19 may have been accidentally spread by China's National Biosafety Laboratory at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where researchers have studied bat coronaviruses. Mosher says that the Inb is less than 10 miles away from the seafood market where a lustre of COVID-19 cases was first discovered. Mosher believes that the said tab is located in the Institute of Virology in Wuhan, where the dangerous pathogens were purportedly kept and looked at as potential bioweapons, There were eports that in the 2003 SARS outbreak, the SARS- ‘CoV virus escaped from virology labs in China. He says Chinese virologist and bioweapons expert Major General Chen Wei's visit to the Wuhan Institute of Virology with military scientists in January was an exercise in damage control. Moreover, an analysis of SARS-CoV-2 by scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology suggests that the virus's genome is 96 percent similar to 4 coronavirus found Transmission from maine an animal, with mo tab Periment or genetic manipulation involved, fitsVibrant Times best with what scientists know about how other coronaviruses have made the jump to humans. these viruses have spread through wild In the past, bats that infect another type of animal—an intermediate host—that then spreads it to humans. SARS-CoV, for example, was transmitted from bats to civets to humans, while camels were an jiate host in MERS, according to Quanta. Linking with the trade warfare, America 1d China have been striving hard to compete each other. In this connection, in the meanwhile of Coronavirus, both countries alleged to each other. President of America, Donald Dtrump, termed COVID-19 as “Chinese Virus” frequently, while China objected it.

The financial institutions such as Internationa!

Therefore, everyone should be calm down and follow the corenetat Protocols on the face of globe.Vibrant Times To conclude, there is no evidence that coronavirus was genetically engineered, as claimed in a study on the genomic analysis of the new virus. Even if the new coronavirus does have some genetic differences to other known viruses due to nce that this is the result mutations, there's no of a human experiment. It is claimed that if the virus were engineered, scientists would expect to see additional genetic material in its genome, which actually is mot the case. So, the difference between coronavirus and other known viruses may just be a coincidence, rather than the result of human activity. Im short, the characteristics of new coronavirus fall in line with the current understanding that coronaviruses make the jump from animals to people, Thus, the myth regar. 03003145806 the virus as a biological weapon must be shunned. is believed that this virus will no longer However, be a challenge in the near future and thus this is going to be cured by the development of vaccines. Though Coronavirus has been the biggest challenge for entire world, even more than that the challenge of Global Warming, soon it will be vanished from the face of the globe. The need of the hour is that, all the measures need to be taken as directed by the World Health Organization in order to get rid of this Pandemic Virus, Same goes to Pakistan, although the situation seems to be al, the coordination of the government and every citizen who is dependent on the face of globe, has to play its pivotal role in order to get rid of this lethal virus.ESSAY-2 Kartarpur Corridor: A hope and peace gesture TNE INTRODUCTION i = PORTANCE OF KART ARPUR CORRIDOR AT PRESENT 3) KARTARPUR CORRIDOR IS A HOPE AND PEACE GESTURE ¢.

The past is there only to teach us, not for us to live in.” Every year thousands of Sikh devotees come from India to Kartarpur to celebrate Baba Guru Nanak’s birth anniversary district of About Kartarpur is located in Narowal Pakistan's Punjab province. three ilometers away from the border with India, Kartarpur Sahib Gurdwara is located on the banks of River Ravi in Pakistan and is the site where founder of Sikhism, Baba Guru Nanak spent his life's last 18 years before dying in 1839. This Corridor has been opened fully and the Sikh community has cordially welcomed it. Kartarpur Corridor is a hope and peace gesture for rebuilding Indo-Pakistan relations. Whether be it Pulwama attack 2019, Bombay controls; all will be forgotten by the mutual coordination and reciprocal tendencies. Kartarpur Corridor will provide visa free access to Indian Sikh pilgrims to visit Gurdwara Kartarpur Sahib (the final resting place of Baba Guru Nanak) in Pakistan, Since 1947 when India and Pakistan ‘gained independence from Britain, this is the first Sikh pilgrims would be able to travel to Pakistan without a visa.

It seems both the nations have finally realized that the challenge lies in reducing the trust deficit between the two countries, Resumption of the Composite Dialogue is the only way forward to fix the nerve-racking relations shattered by the incident that New nts. Nonetheless, there are hurdles on the way of Kartarpur Corridor. Anti-Muslim Hindus who have always been adding fuel to the fire in the Kashmir issue are not willing to see Kartarpur Corridor as functional. In Indi government there fare some ministers who have termed this Corridor 1 card played by Pakistan in taking advantage of the situation regarding Khalistan Referendum 2020, According to them, jkistan has welcomed Kartarpur Corridor only because Sikh Community the government for their separate Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) has fear ‘about the referendum of Khalistan 2020. It is actually US-based radical group Sikhs for Justice (SF) in support of a separate state of Khali but the Punjabi diaspora is seized of the matter 13 . However, the Modi and blaming and already divided on government suspects Pakistan ur Corridor to be linked with the agenda a former Kartarp of Khalistan, Navjot Singh Sidhu, cricketer and the Minister of India who has highly supported Kartarpur Corridor, is regarded as an agent of Inter Service Intelligence (ISI) by the Hindu News paper. That's why it can be an obstacle for the Kartarpur Corridor. Although the 1r has been functional now. Besides, the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW)’s agents can exploit the Corridor border by centering into Pakistani territory for kicking off their anti-Pakistan activities. Hence, Pakistan's defense analysts are of the views that there should be strict checking at the Kartarpur Corridor and any suspect people must be brought before the law and enforcement agencies for security clearance, because any bombing, firing or such acti spoil the relation of Indo-Pakistan and will cost a lot for both of the countries. However, Indo-Pakistan should uphold Kartarpur Corridor and both of the governments need to be determined in building good relations. It is a good gesture regarding normalization of the Indo-Pakistan relationship. It is hoped that this jor will likely resolve other outstanding issues. As a matter of fact, both the countries ‘consume a lot of share in the defense, warfare and arsenal a ies. Such chunk of expenses could be incorporated for the betterment of the human welfare, education, poverty alleviation and trade ‘Therefore, itis the apposite time to go for dialogues.

According to the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), Pakistan has not been allocating 4 percent of GDP since 1971- [Adding fuel to the fre, Pakistan even could not fulfil the Educational goals of Millennium Sustainable Development, Considering all these factors, Pakistan needs to incorporate at least 4 percent of its GDP in order to increase the literacy rate, ast but not least, media can play a progressive role in education sector by educating the masses. Today, according to a report, published in daily the dawn, more than 87 electronic and print media as a whole. So, illion people have access to internet, Mass Media should play its crucial rote in educating the masses for seeking proper edueation, Media has a capability to propagate things even in positive mature. That is the need of the hour. It should start a campaign in which youth ean be compelled to go for jon for the sake of national classroom edue future. Ina nutshell, undoubtedly classrooms decide the future of a nation. Most ‘of the developed nations are only developed because they believed in the application of the classroom education. Today they are well developed and their future of the nation is brighter, Similarly, Pakistan needs to take appropriative dessions to shape the future of its nation where teaching and learning can be done on modern methodologies which will decide the fate of the nation. Socioeconomic, political, scientific, moral and technological developments are only possible when educational progress goes through proper ‘lassrooms.

An important report by PwC “the Long View quotes, “Pakistan-Chi trade net for year 2019 stood ‘S14 billion which will see further increase of up to S19 billion from 2020 onwards”.

Consequently, poverty decreases and society prospers. ‘Abreast with opportunities, yet not void of challenges. List of threats to CPEC includes: First and foremost are security challenges. Extremists aim nothing but to destabilize Pakistan. Conspiracies to derail the project have been started. Pakistan was termed as “most dangerous country” by World Bank ratings 2014-15. Despite devoted efforts, the threat yet remains un- denied. Besides it is challenged by the separatist group: Balochistan Liberation Army. The Baloch insurgents operate to get partitioned from Pakistan as they are of the view that all the territory and resources of Balochsiatan should solely be their authority. Baloch separatist leader of BRP, Brahamdagh bugti called CPEC = “UN-sponsored referendum in Balochistan to decide its future”, They often attack the Chinese workers. Local sources confirm involvement of separatist groups in attacks on Chinese firm Moreover; political dis-consensus s threatening. Provincial governments stress on accumulating maximum benefits lea 1g apart the center. This chaotic political culture births enormous challenges.

Besides, rampant corruption preva in the system is another matter of concern for stake holders of CPEC. The Panama papers last year revealed involvement of Pakistani ans and ruling parties in misuse of pol ational treasury to foster personal gains. This vestments, puts 2 question-mark on use of foans and grants. The leading European expert stated, “China is ‘on South Asian a concerned about the impact of Pakistan's rampant corruption on the China-Pakistan Economie Corridor (CPEC)". Analyzing the situation, it further provides that no great initiatives could meet positive ends with such widespread corruption. ‘An infectious area is prone to attract more hazardous bacteria. Similarly, 4 struggling country provides space to ‘external enemies. Pakistan and India, since the partition, could not establish amicable felations. Hostile neighbor fully exploits things advantageous for Pakista Contextualizing benefits of CPEC, Ind ‘conspires to halt its progress. A Swedish based think-tank report on CPEC and security ‘concerns for India indicates its dis-pleasure on this project. SIPRI reports, “CPEC has intensified historic competition and India fears growing influence of China in the Indian Ocean”. The unhappy neighbor thus started border skirmishes since last November. Sources also report influx of border terrorism a Polarization of RAW activities in Pakistan. 30 Hence externally, it is # great challenge ,, CPEC. Lastly, anti-alliance bloc imparts threatening challenges to CPEC. Theory of balance of power through alliance. Countries with common explains: deterrence interests ally to jointly promote and protect es. On one hand, where the shared obje Pak-China nexus collectively work to foster their gains such as CPEC, there is an anti- alliance bloc which aims to hinder success of this project. India and US with common goat to counter China's growth create opposition alliance bloc. Collectively, it challenges CPEC. “Problems are only opportunities in work clothes”, says Henry J. Kaiser. Suggestive measures for accomplishment are as follows: ‘One; the political parties need to be on same page. Resolution of every issue in a democratic system is to be found in the parliament. Utilizing the forum, all the parties need to build up a collective stance supporting CPEC. Issues raised by any party shall be addressed without inversely investing progressive ambitions of the country. Thus, this matter should be open to parliament for discussions in order 10 develop consensus. ‘Two; to appease the separatists’ groups Bovernment must consider confidence buildint ‘measures.

Thus, Id alter or attempt to hinder ‘each party should prioritize national interests above all. Four: the greatest. evil in an administration is corruption, It is just octopus with large legs spread over every working unit (0 suck its fuel and disable its capability to provide any results.

Only ry and independently working judi investigation system can root out corruption from ground level. Five; to. combat terrorism, security institutions must be strengthened. Continuous 1g and coordination among all of intelligence shat the security institutions must foster. Safe heavens of terrorists should be identified and dispelled. Furthermore; where need arose, dialogue should also be considered as an option. However; it must be handled hard handedly without a tilt of compromise. Six; Pakistan needs to play active ialogue diplomacy to mitigate border tensions. needs to be resumed at the earliest between Pakistan and India, It is high time now to accept that war is not a solution but dialogue and only amicable relations with neighbor can serve ‘mutual interests. Adapting this approach, Dar quotes, “War phobia can be defeated through economic development. Peace and prosperity can be achieved with economic advancement”. It is an open invitation from Pakistan to hostile to give up on war and pursue goals countei for economic development. India and Pakistan should learn from history that integrated efforts for economic developments and mutual interests could serve them more than war. logue should also be utilized Seven; to break up anti-CPEC alliance. It req wr approach as discussed above. Economic ‘and mutual growth need to be prioritized above hostility. With dialogue, the message of peace should be spread clearly. Proponents and stake holders of CPEC should collectively convince anti-aliance bloc for mutual gains through CPEC. Bight; stability in Afghanistan is in interest of the whole region, To achieve this target, it should be engaged in trade. Economic will grow Pakistan's growth Integr ‘opportunities. Consequently a prosperous Afghanistan will not Nine; Pak-China defense nexus must be promoted to counter check and balance any sort of security challenges that confront the progress of CPEC. It is an integrated project which needs cooperation of both countries in all dimensions. Security threats are hazardous challenges to the project. Thus it demands proper handling which could be better done by strongly developed Pak- China defense nexus. ‘Ten; regional organizations should be utilized to promote CPEC. It appears that reluctance to this huge project by some countries seem because of ambiguities and uncertainty of its long term planning. As an analyst commented on CPEC, “It appears more as a dream than reality”.Vibrant Times Thus, different platforms should be e the vision of hed to contextualiz approacl s far as regional CPEC in broader terms. A‘ circle is concerned, SCO can play vital role in promoting CPEC. Therefore this forum should be considered by stake holders of China-Pakistan-Economic Corridor. To sum up; China-Pakistan- is a fortune Economi opportunities. It is the right dee best of two decades old neighboring friends: Pakistan and China. This mega project has to create a win-win situation for poter 32 vouusr4a3u6 an opportunity for Pakistan to both.

Some of their repercussions fetch anti-Muslim Prejudice, disunity among Muslim Ummah which ultimately yield Western World Hegemony and which cause blasphemous acts by anti-Islamic powers. In order to eradicate Islamophobia, the governments should represent Islam as religion of peace. On international level, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) must era\ cate such unprecedented phobias categorically and spread the message of Islam that is nothing but Peace and Justice. Every t organization should be disowned. jes should come forward and play their role in eliminating the phobia from the hearts and minds of the masses. In this regards, Media has to play its pivotal role in rooting out the trust deficit by portraying the true picture of Islam before the world, Hence, Islamopho preju an unjustified fear, -set that has been raising that is to be dealt with holistic approach, and illogical Islamophobia represents the Prejudice and hate or fear of Muslims.

One of these is anti-Mustim Islamo Sentiments. Islamophobia and anti-Muslim sentiment have existed as parts of the religious landseape since Europeans first arrived in the North America. The long history of these antipathies is a balance between continuities of received wisdom regarding Islam and Muslims and historically specific outbursts sparked shaped by current social, economic, political, and military events. Tapping into enduring suspicions, some provocateurs deliberately ai to perpetuate stereotypes, broadcast misinformation, promote discrimination, and even instigate violence. A. comparative logic drives the skepticism, wariness, and— oceasionally—outright hostility toward, different times, Islam as a religion, a specific Muslim, or Muslims as a religious, racial, or ethnic stereotype. This comparison Presupposes a positive American norm that Islam and Muslims fail to meet in terms of theology, development, and nationalism. However, 9/11 incidence made the situation bad to worse in rising Islamophobit The terrorist attacks in New York City 0” !!

Almost 300° People were killed during the 9/11 attacks which triggered major US initiativesaa ‘combat terrorism and defined the presidency ‘of George W. Bush. Since then, Muslims have teen considered as Terrorists, even though it was a group of Al-Qaeda which di ‘act that has nothing to do with Islam. This inhuman situation however put a fear in the hearts and 5 minds of the western world that all Musi wostile extremists and the Isalm is not a of peace and thus it created are bi to many — western historians that the 9/11 incident was the US foreign policy tactic to spread bloodshed for vested interests, Since the World War Il ‘America has been topper in selling weapons of mass destructions. It goes without saying that most of the economy of the United States depends upon exporting weapons. In recent time, American President Donald Trump visited Saudi Arabia and signed $110 billion ‘arms deal immediately and $350 billion over 10 years. In the given facts, itis erystal clear that What the American Policy has been so far since the World War I In this scenario, communism and capitalism war is still on going. As China is threats American's hegemony, Nevertheless, in secking western interests, the western world is adding fuel to the fire in sparking Islamophobia across the world. In this way, religious extremism inte Drone attacks takes place. In order to ret and bloodshed in the Muslim countries, mai rd line militant freedom fighters have took to fight aggressively. Al-Queda, Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), Talibans and many such terrorist organizations have fought with the Western World for their own interests. ‘These terrorist organization not only challenged American army but also made many terrorist activities such as bomb blasts, attacking cities and killing white peoples. All ‘these things eventually have triggered fear in the minds of people that all Muslims are terrorists. The repercussions of Islamophobia are horrific in nature, because the image of lam has llogically been tarnished. Even though Islam itself is the religion of peace, humanity and harmony. Particularly, the western media has tried its utmost fo portray Islamophobia. That's why Muslims who are living abroad feel insecure. Whenever and whatever happens in any part of world, the ‘western people suspect Muslims without going through the matter and its reality. Whether be la, France or any other it America, Cai country, all of these have made filtered visa policy for the Muslims. This creates # prejudice situation.

All these ta lamophobia. However, for more than fourteen hundred years, Islam has been the est Deen and nothing can destroy its doctrines. In order to eradicate Islamophol ‘governments have to play their pivotal roles across the world. Every Muslim country should initiate a kind of lobby in which each nation should propagates crystal clear idea via media campaigns, conferences, group corners and institutions that Islam is actually a religion of peace. It is not a thing to be afraid of and the Islamic doctrines should be ‘exhibited so that the Islamophobia could be ‘eradicated from the hearts and minds of the ‘masses in the world. Hence, Islam is a reli of peace and it has lived in peace and harmony with other fait and wi undoubtedly do so in future as well, ‘Therefore, it is high time to justify from every possible forum that Islam is the religion of peace. Hslam has NeVEr gone for war. In the Holy Quran (5:33), Allah Almighty whosoever killed a person...it shall be he had killed all mankind. In the given says, fact, citizen and every person who is truly follower it is duty of every Muslim leader, every of Deen-e-lslam, must play his indiscernible role in creating about 9 positive change by spreading the message of Islam. In this connection, the role of Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) is of utmost significance in shunning unprecedented Islamophobia. According to the OIC charter, all of the 57 Muslim Countries have to create reciprocal coordination for the betterment of Muslim Ummah, For this reason, itis its duty to put an ‘end to Islamophobia. A mutual conference needs to be called on, in which every country chalks out a pragmatic plan to eradicate The Holy Quran and Sunnah Islamophobi should be taken as a reference to mutual coordination so that the western world may know the clear instance of Islamic ideology. In ad jon to that, there is need of spreading the message of Islam. Whether be it through electronic, social, print media and conferences, meetings or any other channel the message of Islam is simple. That is only peace. Islam occupies every aspect of life. I hhas never taught aggression and hostility. ™™* nti-Islamic sentiments or religious extremis™ which are ready to kill or be killed for theif vested interests, wve nothing to do with Dee eslam, because Islamic doctrine is 90!

Particularly in the western world, Islamophobi psychologists, histo is common, In order to root out this phobi analysts, politicians and religious personalities have to their part. As a matter of fact, every religion's pl basie purpose is peace. Islam is the best amongst all the religious in the world, However, those people who are incited and exploited in the hands of terrorist organizations must be taken into account and there should be rehabilitation centers which could treat the brain washed people who are on wrong track and tarnish the basic principles of Islam. Religious personalities can do miracles in shunning Islamophobio from the hearts and minds of the people. Particularly, Ulemas who are well educated and know Islamic Jurisprudence, should play their part that Istam is actually complete code of life and has nothing to do with any kind of hostility. So, people living abroad should not be treated like as aliens. Allah Almighty has made every person equally. Only those people are best ‘who have humanity in heart. Some people are on wrong. track.
