PAKPAC expedites
visa Processing
of Pakistani
Physicians
In the recent
past, there have
been challenges
with delay in
providing visas
to physicians of
Pakistani
heritage when
they come for
higher
educational
training to the
United States.
In the past,
this was
attributed to
name check
process. PAKPAC
had worked
diligently and
had multiple
meetings with
the Department
of Homeland
Security, as
well as, the
Federal Bureau
of Investigation
representatives
to highlight the
concerns, as
well as,
identify ways of
expediting the
process.
These efforts
and the federal
agencies
positive
response had
allowed the name
check process to
become more
streamlined,
which has
allowed
physicians to
come in the past
to get visas in
a relatively
timely manner to
initiate the
work. Of the
ten visa delay
cases pursued by
PAKPAC, five
Physicians have
received their
visas to start
residency on
time, four cases
are still
pending, and one
in one case visa
was not granted.
However, this
year as the
people plan to
start their
residency
training for
various places,
there has been a
delay and
multiple
individuals are
having
challenges. This
delay raises
some concerns at
various levels.
One concern is
that this
appears to be a
selective
process in the
perception of
the
Pakistani-American
community as it
is noted that
people of other
ethnicities or
other
backgrounds have
been able to get
visas in a
timely way to
further pursue
their training
and education.
However, the
delay appears to
be more
prominent in the
Pakistani-American
Community and at
times Muslim
majority
communities.
The
Pakistani-American
Public Affairs
Committee has
raised the
concerns and
shared
information on
the individual
cases with the
State
Department.
Moreover, PAKPAC
has reached out
to the US
Embassy in Islamabad
sharing with
them the
concerns, so
that expedited
process can be
initiated.
There is also a
concern that
because of this
delay, there are
hospitals across
the United
States where
some of the
well-trained
highly educated
individuals
would not be
able to provide
coverage and
care to the
patients,
putting other
physicians at a
different and
challenging work
schedule.
PAKPAC has been
a part of this
solution process
for many years.
This year, Dr.
Rizwan Naeem,
who is the chair
of Young
Physicians
Committee for
APPNA had
reached out to
PAKPAC, as there
was a challenge
with these
cases. At the
request of
Rizwan Naeem and
Zeelaf Munir,
the
Pakistani-American
Public Affairs
Committee
members have
initiated the
process to help
these cases.
There were ten
names given to
State Department
and Department
of Homeland
Security for
expeditious
process of these
visas, as of
today two
Doctors visas
have been
approved, one
was denied, and
remaining await
Administrative
processing.
Dr. Suleman, the
President of
PAKPAC,
mentioned that
this is
important to not
only help other
Pakistani-American
organization who
are having this
challenge, but
it is a part of
our collective
responsibility
to make sure
that people are
not being
targeted based
on their
ethnicities or
their religious
background.
Executive
Director Irfan
Malik is
planning to have
meeting with the
various US
agencies around
these cases.
Results of
PAKPAC Survey of
Pakistani American
Community
PAKPAC conducted a
survey of Pakistani
American Community
to identify the
issues faced by the
Community. Results
show that Pakistani
American Community
is concerned about
being negatively
associated with
extremist’s
incidents. They feel
this issue could be
minimized by getting
more engaged in the
community we live
in. The community
is concerned about
the status of
Pakistani American

Political ties open
path to Pakistan aid
It started off as a
real estate deal: A
gated community
outside Pakistan’s
capital, luxury
homes sold to
well-off
Pakistani-Americans,
and a high-end
medical center
nearby.
Then housing prices
plummeted. So
organizers,
including Shahid
Ahmed Khan, a
Framingham
businessman who is a
long-time
fund-raiser for
Senator John F.
Kerry, developed
another idea: get US
foreign aid to help
build a $500
million, world-class
medical institute,
using expertise from
a subsidiary of
Partners HealthCare,
the company that
runs Boston’s elite
teaching hospitals.
At Khan’s request, a
staffer for Kerry,
who heads the Senate
committee that
oversees a new $7.5
billion aid package
for Pakistan, helped
set up a meeting
with the US Agency
for International
Development. Now the
project’s organizers
say they believe
they will receive
$17 million for the
first phase — a
nursing school that
is slated to accept
students later this
year.

 Viewpoint
Are Foreign Lives of
Equal Worth to Ours?
– Adil Shamoo
When a U.S.
civilian is murdered
in a foreign land or
in the United
States, we
rightfully feel
angry, sad, and some
of us demand
vengeance. These are
normal, primordial,
and instinctive
feelings of group
loyalty and herd
mentality that have
bound communities
and countries for
thousands of years.
Should such human
traits, which are
often beneficial,
emotional and
irrational, continue
to justify the
retaliatory killing
of innocent
civilians in the
21st century?
After the tragic
murder of nearly
3,000 U.S. citizens
on 9/11, the United
States toppled the
Taliban in
Afghanistan and
killed and captured
hundreds of al-Qaeda
leaders and members.
However, Afghanistan
lost as many as
32,000 citizens
since the U.S.
invasion in 2001.

THE WAY FORWARD -
Humayun Akhtar Khan
Pakistan’s economic
performance will
depend both on the
future policies of
the Government and
the global economic
recovery. The
economy today is
under considerable
pressure due to
breakdown in
delivery of public
utilities, huge
increases in prices
of essential items,
unemployment and
poverty. The level
of government
borrowing is rising.
Foreign investment,
both domestic and
foreign, continues
to fall. A low tax
to GDP ratio remains
a problem. Growth is
not rising due to
inadequate revenue
generation and less
than anticipated aid
inflows. The economy
grew by a
provisional 4.1% in
fiscal 2010. If the
previous year’s
growth rate of 2%
had not been revised
to 1.2%, the growth
rate would have been
3.1%. The target GDP
growth rate of 4.5%
for next fiscal is
difficult to achieve
as no improvements
are expected in the
manufacturing as
well as the public
sector development
sectors. Governance
problems, worsening
law and order
situation and
widespread
corruption further
bleaken the
prospects of future
growth.

The Ideological
Struggle for
Pakistan-
Ziad Haider
Since its inception
in 1947, the idea of
Pakistan has been a
contested one.
Today, Pakistan
faces a militant
Islamist threat that
its elected
government is trying
to combat in
fractious
collaboration with
the army. As the
country finds itself
on the defensive
against an array of
groups claiming to
wave the banner of
Islam, it must
counter their
ideology decisively.
This assessment of
the struggle for
Pakistan's identity,
from its birth to
the present day,
provides a political
and cultural
understanding of the
role and use of
Islam in Pakistan's
evolution.

this conference in
Washington, D.C.,
and also multiple
news representatives
watched it live via
webcast as well.
Conference included
speakers from
various background
looking at the
dynamic and causes
of radicalization,
followed by a very
lively discussion
between the audience
and the speakers.
There was a session
on the challenges
that the
American-Muslim
community faces at
times based on the
policies. This
discussion included
a mother who was
concerned about the
children being
marginalized because
of some policies and
actions of the
fellow youth,
included young high
school student who
had been a victim of
bullying who stood
up and spoke against
the bullying, but
also helped
organized efforts in
an organization to
educate all his

used his energies to
work on social
justice related
projects.
Discussion was held

improve ways of
improving the masjid
systems.
In the solution

Various
policymakers, policy
related specialists,
as well as, media
people felt that
this conference has
allowed community to
have an open
discussion about
their feeling s and
their roles. The
organizations
including the PAKPAC
Foundation’s
representative Dr.
Saud Anwar had
mentioned that the
community in
Connecticut has
served as a role
model for not only
the
Pakistani-American
community across the
country, but all
communities to have
open and honest
discussion on this
topic, so that not
only does the
community recognize
this problem and
becomes a part of
the solution, but
the larger society
in United States
needs to understand
the challenges at
hand and identify
their role in
helping in the
prevention of this
condition. This
challenge can be
best managed when we
as a society work
together. We have
requested other
community members to
collaborate and work
on similar
educational effort
in their own towns.’
Dr. Saud Anwar said.

conference
CNN COVERAGE OF
EVENT
Beyond Madrasas –
Pakistan education
needs
USAID held an event
for the release of
Brookings
Institution report
on status of
education in
Pakistan titled
BEYOND MADRASAS:
Assessing the Links
between Education
and Militancy in
Pakistan. USAID
Chief Dr. Rajiv Shah
provided the
introductory
remarks, and
reiterated Obama
Administration
objectives of
Security, stability,
and Economic
Prosperity for
Pakistan.
Congresswoman Nita
Lowey in her remarks
listed Education as
a National Security
Priority. She said
that education leads
to sound government
and stabilizes
society. With a
growing illiteracy
rate of about 46%,
Pakistan has
embarked on
a National education
Policy that US is
committed to
support. Bruce
Riddell noted that
Pakistan is the epic
center of US fight
on terrorism, and
there is a huge
mistrust amongst
Pakistanis about US
due to SU policies
and support of
military dictators.
Dr. Siddiqa in her
remarks noted that
it is needed that
Pakistan government
is held responsible
for their actions
and commitment.
Steve Inskeep
observed the rise of
militancy amongst
students during a
recent visit to
University of
Punjab. PAKPAC
Executive Director
Irfan Malik attended
the event on behalf
of PAKPAC.
Dr Rebecca Winthrop
in presenting the
findings of the
report listed three
areas that require
immediate attention.
1. There is a
strong correlation
between Education
and Literacy;
increased education
reduced militancy,
however she feels US
focus on effect of
Madrassah’s is bit
overblown, as number
of students enrolled
in Madrassah’s is
between 1-7 %, and
growth of
madrassah’s is in
decline.
2. Education
sector as a whole is
important for
stability and
security for
Pakistan. Currently
there is a huge gap
between the supply
and demand of
education. Under 7
million school age
children are not
attending schools,
with 66% children
enrolled in schools,
Worldwide average
school attendance
for school age
children is about
87%.
3. Though access
to education is
important, it is
equally important to
improve quality of
education. US
should not get
involved in the
development of
curriculum for
Pakistani students,
especially for
religious education.
There are 750,000
teachers in 100,000
public schools, but
the quality of
education and
curriculum is quite
lacking. About 25%
of Government
schools are highly
underperforming.

US-Pakistan
relations should be
based upon Respect
and Resolve-Senator
Mikulski
Speaking at an event
held at Nayab
Siddiqui's home
Senator Mikulski
(D-MD) said that
US-Pakistan
relationship should
be based upon
respect and resolve
for each other.
Citing the depth and
history of
relationship of the
two countries,
Senator Mikulski
commented that for
the successful
continuation of this
relationship, the
governments of the
two countries should
respect the needs of
each other, respect
the interests of
each other. The two
countries must also
have the resolve to
address the tactical
and strategic
interests of each
other. Senator
Mikulski's vowed to
helping expediting

Pakistani Physicians
who have secured
residency in US
hospitals.
Addressing the issue
raised by the
participants of
limited
opportunities in

contract for small
business owners,
Senator Mikulski
agreed to hold a
meeting of federal
contractors with
Federal Agencies to
streamline the
process of small
business owners to
appropriate federal
contract money.

Pakistan in the
Danger Zone: A
Tenuous US-Pakistan
Relationship
On Monday, June 28,
the Atlantic
Council’s South Asia
Center hosted an
event for the launch
of our new report, "Pakistan
in the Danger Zone:
A Tenuous US -
Pakistan
Relationship."
The event featured
an introduction from
Atlantic Council
President and CEO,
Frederick
Kempe,
and a panel
discussion with
South Asia Center
Director
Shuja Nawaz,
Washington Post
Foreign
Correspondent
Pamela
Constable,
and Former Foreign
Secretary of
Pakistan, Ambassador
Riaz Khan.
No bilateral
relationship in the
world matches that
of the US and
Pakistan when it
comes to its
combustible
combination of
strategic importance
and perilous
instability. “If the
US and Pakistan
cannot work together
then the war in
Afghanistan may well
be lost inside
Pakistan.” This is
the main message of
the Atlantic
Council's new
report, "Pakistan in
the Danger Zone: A
Tenuous US -
Pakistan
Relationship" by
Shuja Nawaz,
Director of the
Council's South Asia
Center. A year after
the Atlantic Council
raised a warning
flag in the report,
Needed: A
Comprehensive US
Policy Towards
Pakistan, the
situation in
Pakistan remains on
edge, with a fragile
political system,
weak economy, and
growing distrust
between the US and
Pakistan
governments.
Pakistan in the
Danger Zone warns
policymakers that
the US-Pakistan
relationship may be
heading into another
serious downturn.
The report
highlights key
recommendations for
policymakers on how
to achieve a
sustainable and
productive
relationship between
the two countries,
and stability in the

Request from State

Dear Pakistani
American Community
Member:
During previous
conversation with
members of the
Pakistani-American
community, we were
asked to develop
creative ways to
incorporate your
input into US policy
development. In
response, we’d like
to solicit your
input on a variety
of issues that face
our communities.
We are writing to
ask for your
participation in a
series of informal
surveys that we hope
will guide future
policy development.
Many people have
expressed an
interest in
discussing the
Pakistani-American
community’s
relationship with
law enforcement, so
that is the topic of
the first survey you
can find below.
Please email
surveyreplies@state.gov
with your feedback
by June 20th

Best,
