there is a tripod in yes sir how is that
experience what do you know about
that tripod is situated a little
outside
a main chakra city it is it has been it
was
it is part of the district yeah right so
i am talking about logistics
it was a inaugurated in 1980s
and 1980s around about 1983.84 with the
collaboration of pakistan
government as well as the business
community of civil code it has
helped the city streamline its exports
rather than
and have enabled the city to create a
central point from where all of the
exports can be sent to the other parts
of the city
a parts of the country such as the
karachi seaboard or lower tripod
what is your age my age is 23 right
i will turn 24 in the sip okay you are
subject to geography also
yes sir okay can you tell us the
geographical location of pakistan on the
map pakistan is located just above the
trophy of cancer it begins from
around about 30 degree latitude and
stretches up till somewhere between 60
to 70 degrees
as far as the longitude it is
located around about 30 to 40 degrees
pakistan has a arabian sea on its
southern border
and iran is situated in in pakistan’s
southwestern border as far as
afghanistan it is situated in the
northwest and northwestern border of the
pakistan and stretches
over 2000 kilometers for china it is
situated
among the hilly areas on the northern
portion of pakistan and china is the
shortest border with pakistan
the other country that has shared this
common bond with pakistan is india
and it shares the longest border with
pakistan stretching
somewhere between 2500 to 3000
kilometers
there is a conflict between india and
china
in the himalayan region so can you tell
us what is this himalayan region
and what is the conflict so himalayan
region it basically stretches out
between the regions of it starts from
nepal
in the east and stretches up till
pakistan and its kashmir valley
the main issue between china and india
is over the
aksaichan region and some parts of
ladakh and kashmir valley
china states its claim over those
regions but india says that
it were historically its own and they it
historically belongs to india in the
1962 battle china took over the exciting
region from the
indian government and after the war
there it was there are peace
we can say there are comparatively
peaceful beginnings after that but in
the last year we have again witnessed
some skirmishes between the indian army
and chinese army over some
border conflicts
there is a term there in the literature
when we
review this conflict chicken neck they
say
chinese have got control of almost they
are sitting on the chicken neck
and then they also use the term five
fingers
no i haven’t really studied the session
we have not looked into it
right now the
there is a change of
administration you know by 20th and u.s
president will be changed the trump
administration has
certain issues on the tariff issues with
chinese do you think this will continue
or there will be change of policy
these issues will mainly continue
because the trade deficit between china
and u.s is a lot higher
it is somewhere like u.s exports to
china somewhere in the region of 110 to
120 billion dollars
while china exports somewhere around 450
billion dollars
so there’s a high trade deficit and us
believes that china is
the next economic power so it will try
to
suppress the chinese economic rise as
much as it can so i do not think that
there will be
any further change in the policy
they may overtly become a little bit
more peaceful as because trump was
just following his unilateral moves and
was not really caring about the
overall american persona in the
international award
as far as joe biden he carries the
liberal policies of
his democratic party so he he might not
be overtly so aggressive
but the policies would not very much
change
how do you see this brexit which has
happened and the
uk is now britain is independent of
european rather i will say yes sir do
you think this is something good has
happened and for britain
or for the european union it has both
his pros and cons because
brexit basically the british people are
thinking that they are paying excessive
to the european union
and in return they were getting a high
inflow of immigrants into their country
because they under the european union
deal each country has to contribute
something to the
european parliament to keep it running
and recently we witnessed the
germany also showed some hesitation
while
bailing out greece after its economic
crisis
so after that some of the
conservative british politicians raised
this agenda among the people to
initiate the brexit but
brexit already had its own issues and it
could have
resulted in a decline in the british
economy
but after and the recent covet pandemic
it just exaggerated this whole issue
and has hampered the british economy to
a great extent
now it only depends upon the policies of
the british
and how this final brexit deal pans out
because if the
britishers are not allowed to move
freely or
have to face some trade barriers from
the european union then it will be
difficult for the british business
is who are settled overseas because this
issue of the brexit it will go both way
the european union was contemplating
that due to the brexit many of the
citizens of other european countries who
have settled in britain
they might face issue and but the
similar
kind of issues would also be faced by
the britain because
many of its citizens have settled
overseas in other countries like germany
which is the one of the faster growing
economies and
so i believe that brexit will have both
its pros and cons on the british economy
and only
time can decide where it goes from here
how will you explain your strength
leadership you have mentioned
leadership yes sir leader or leadership
leadership so how will you explain it
sir i just have a feeling that i have a
better acumen
in controlling a project or any
authority that is given to me because
recently i have such
instances where i was given certain
responsibilities to handle a group of
people
and i had a better performance in them
in my final year project i had
i was the leader of my group and i had
to control
the activities of my group while
streamlining all of the participants
other than that i was also selected as a
hostile prefect in the final year
in my final year and i had more than 150
students under me
and i believe that i performed all right
can you give us the
geographical
description of our land
pakistan sir if we start from the north
the
himalayas and karakoram range extend
from the kashmir valley into the gilgit
baltison region
and they are also induced mountains the
himalayas and
karakoram have a rather high peaks and
pakistan boasts
four of the eight hundred thousand
dollars in this world the peaks that
are
above eight thousand meters as we move
towards the west
on the border there are also some
mountains but they are not as high as
the
himalayas or karakoram and then in the
balochistan
blajistan is known as a plateau because
you you move on
you have mountains we have plateau yes
sir and then lochistan
yeah the other mountain area that we
have are on the western end of the
balochistan
the chagi mountains and after that we
have macron coastal range in the sun
we have mountains just say we have
mountains just mountains
we have mountains yes we have mountains
and then we have pleasure
we have plenty of valleys we have
valleys
i perceived that you were asking a whole
landscape layout
what do you know about the working of a
district working out district
administrative district of our country
so administrative district there is a
district officer on the top
on the top of administrative and then
there are the sales
under it the district officer controls
all of the sales that come in its
jurisdiction after that the sale there
are union councils under it
union council heads were are recently
as per the law last time there were
some elections and union consulates were
elected and our union consulate then
divide contains
a few villages in that region who’s
running their control
can you give us the organization
hierarchy of
a police organization under the police
order 2002
i do not really have the
complete knowledge about that okay
bureaucrats accuse politicians
for their political interference in
their working yes
likewise politicians they also
have a lot of complaints against the
bureaucrats that they don’t cooperate
in the in the in the accomplish of their
work
what is your take on it so bureaucrats
are here to run the country and its
basic administrative machinery
because the politicians has come into
the power for five years
and we have not ever seen a party that
has repeated its
success in election in pakistan so
bureaucracy has a complaint that
politicians just come out of nowhere and
do not really have any administrative
acumen and
they try to impose themselves but we
have to understand that politicians are
elected representatives of our people
so bureaucracy should try to take them
under the should try to convince them
and should explain them about the
working of the government rather than
just complaining
that bureaucracy is not listening to
them there should be harmony
between both the departments and
therefore
as for the reservations about the
politicians that politicians are
bureaucracies not listening to the
politicians their politicians should
also try to just
have stocks with the bureaucracy and
should listen to their issues
because any any issue that bureaucracy
might have about the politicians those
can be solved
with simple talks and i do not believe
that these issues are
so much elaborate to that okay
why despite you see the ongoing
intra fund dialogue there is fighting
going on there is violence
terrorist acts are being have been
carried out
sir afghanistan there are many
stakeholders that are currently working
in afghanistan firstly there are the
local afghans
those are divided into different there
is the talibans
and then there is the northern alliance
and the current afghan government
there are afterwards in the external
stakeholder the united states
and pakistan and other border regions
and
we have also heard about indian
interference in the region
so until and unless all of these parties
are satisfied about the dialogue
these commissions will continue so
pakistan
and the mainstream major stakeholders
that are pakistan u.s and
the afghan people they should rather to
try to
work things out among themselves and
after that i believe that the
security concerns can be addressed what
was the
policy of strategic depth and
and and what what did we gain from it
so strategic depth it was that pakistan
was surrounded
in the at the time of independence
pakistan already had a threat from the
eastern border
over the issue with india and pakistan
feared that if it’s
issues with afghanistan because
afghanistan laid claim over the
nwf region and claimed it to be a part
of afghanistan
so pakistan army needed to have some
strategic
flow in the gwan region and needed to
have a government that was
friendly with pakistan pakistan and so
the strategy depth is this term that it
enables pakistan to have some
some sway in the ghan region so that if
if god forbid we
suffer an attack on the eastern front we
have the shorty that we can
retreat and move towards the western
side and we do not really have some
serious threats from that end but
but what did we gain from it
from the policy of strategic debt i did
not think that we really gained a lot as
much as we lost over it
because although we had some
initially we had some advantage that we
had allies in
afghanistan but over time these allies
really just hurt
pakistan economy and pakistan security a
lot harder
because once the afghan war was over and
the soviets retreated pakistan army
really did
pakistan did not have enough budget as
the american aids were
stopped and pakistan army could not
really sustain these people that
it had created there and this resulted
in
serious damage to pakistan’s economy
thank you sir so mr fahad
you play football sir i haven’t played
it for over
a year i used to play during my
colleges
currently i just watched your favorite
play
how many international goals yes we’re
currently standing at 102 goals
and how many golden boot award
i believe two or three i’m not sure
about that
you’re definitely not sure which
last movie watched last movie i watched
great gatsby sorry great gatsby i read
that book and i just used the movie to
revise
any other movie i’d say
avengers series avoid that all during
this summer
all right geography was your optional
subject
yes what is human geography so human
geography consists of the human
like where the populations are scattered
and what kind of people are live in
different parts of the world
what are their languages their culture
and their ethnicity
and how does geography affect humans
i did not really carry a question
people of desert and people of
mountains do they have some similar
temperament
culture traditions no geography has a
huge impact on our psychology and our
physicality in fact the people in desert
they will be
they will be able to survive in lack of
water and they have
sustained some hard environments and
they can sustain if
we are talking about warm deserts they
can sustain high heat as for the
people in mountains they have lived
their life
at a higher altitude and therefore at
higher altitudes there we know that
there is also lesser oxygen so they have
more tenacity and
the people who live on the plane area
such as us we haven’t really
experienced those harsh environments so
even if we move towards the deserts
or towards the mountain we’ll have some
time
they’re very you know they have very
reddish complexion their cheeks are very
red why
that’s what because of lesser oxygen
in the high altitude our body just
changes itself and our red blood cells
increase in number and red blood cells
contain a pigment on and hemoglobin
it gives the cheeks red color we have
red geology as well
all right what is the difference between
lava and magma
lava is the molten rocks that come out
of the surface
after it reaches the surface it is known
as lava and inside the surface
known as magma what is the average
temperature of core of earth
it’s somewhere around 6300 degree
celsius
53 no i don’t
from crust till the center how many
layers are there
so there are mainly three layers crust
mantle and core and then mantle is
divided into
lithosphere and asthenosphere lysosphere
is just some
little portion of metal that is closer
to us and
asthenosphere is the major portion of
mantle and core is also divided into two
regions outer core and inner core outer
core is liquid and inner core is solid
what are three types of rocks so the
basic three types of rocks are
igneous sedimentary and metamorphic
what is soil erosion soil erosion oil
oriented soil region is a process under
which the
soil particles that have weathered away
from the main rock are carried away
carried by the different means these can
be glaciers
or wind or water or any other means by
which they can move from
erosion is basically the movement of
particles
who was the first president of congress
first president
why did congress support the khalafat
movement so congress supported lafayette
movement because at that moment
they had a belief that if they work
alongside muslim they will be able to
get a united india
and muslims make a huge chunk of indian
people
so congress had a belief that if they
support this
support this call for hillary movement
with the muslims they may
get some support from the muslims and
will be able to
progress tonight what was the three main
feature of a
government of india act 19 19.
what was the impact of lucknow backed on
the creation of pakistan
so lucknow back was the first real pact
between congress and muslim league and
it helped it helped create some harmony
between both the parties
and muslims accepted the congress and
congress accepted muslims call for
separate electorate
but afterwards when this congress moved
away from their
their agreed upon points under the
lucknow pack muslims
then sense that they cannot really trust
the indian
hindus and therefore they will have to
make a call for their own self
and this afterwards resulted in allah
addressed by a lamb
kaido in 14 point and then if we fall
forward in history it resulted in the
creation of pakistan
what is the process for impeachment
process of impeachment for
president in in pakistan in pakistan
i do not really think because but i
believe it would be similar to the
united states where
both the if it exists if is there any
process of impeachment
in the constitution 1973 i’m not sure
about that
thank you okay let’s finish this formal
interview
