Featured US Congress passes Malala Yousafzai Scholarship Act for Pakistani women

[Taimoor Khan]

You are so hung up on the Malala scholarship forgetting that for the last 70 years about 500 Pakistanis are sent to the US each year for their Masters and PhD in Medicine, sciences , engineering, economics etc. fully sponsored by the US State Department. As a matter of fact, the current principal economy advisor to the Pakistani Prime minister Imran Khan is a Fulbright scholar.

Finally, the awardee chooses the discipline the only restriction is 50% of the selected students under the Malala scholarship must be female. So if a recipient decides to get a PhD in quantum computing or botany or film making or ..... whatever the choice lies with the student and not the US government.The applicants selected to receive the award are assessed by a mixed panel of Pakistani and American professors.

Typical of most consumed by hate, you decided to spew venom before spending 10 seconds to learn the facts of the Malala scholarship. Now if Pakistanis like you feel this is a conspiracy to corrupt innocent young people you are free to pass up on this opportunity.

Discussion is about this particular issue, not any other scholarship on offer in past. I rather stick to the motives and benefits on what is under the discussion and you should as well. Feel free to create new thread to discuss if you wish so.

(b) LIMITATIONS.— 9 (1) CRITERIA.—The scholarships available under subsection (a) may only be awarded in accordance with other scholarship eligibility criteria already established by USAID.

(What is this creiteria, no mention of Pakistani professors, and even they are involved, who are they? Any names?)



13 (2) ACADEMIC DISCIPLINES.—Scholarships authorized under subsection (a) shall be awarded for a range of disciplines to improve the employability of 16 graduates and to meet the needs of the scholarship 17 recipients.

(So no, it doesnt involve everything as you mentioned, there is a range of discipline. A fellow PDFer has listed this here : https://defence.pk/pdf/threads/us-c...-act-for-pakistani-women.697019/post-12893230)




A brief background on the person who is sponsoring this:

Ileana Ros-Lehtinen - Wikipedia


Caucus membership

• Co-Chair, Congressional Vision Caucus
• Co-Chair, National Marine Sanctuary Caucus
• Congressional Pro-Life Women's Caucus
• LGBT Equality Caucus
• Climate Solutions Caucus[36]
• Congressional Taiwan Caucus
• Congressional Hispanic Conference
• United States Congressional International Conservation Caucus[37]
• Congressional Arts Caucus[38]
• Afterschool Caucuses[39]

Notable campaign contributors
A major individual campaign contributor to Ros-Lehtinen is Irving Moskowitz, a funder of Israeli settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.[40] The lobby group J Street has called on Ros-Lehtinen to return campaign contributions from Moskowitz, saying he "actively undermines the two-state solution and the foreign policy of the United States by funding illegal settlements in the occupied territories".[41][42] American Council on World Jewry president Jack Rosen has "great concern"[43] about this demand.

Foreign policy
Ros-Lehtinen was rated 57% conservative and 43% liberal on foreign policy issues by the National Journal.[48] Ros-Lehtinen supported President George W. Bush's surge policy in Iraq, supports Israel, and supports continued sanctions against Cuba. She also supported the de facto government in Honduras, headed by Roberto Micheletti, that emerged after the military coup against President Manuel Zelaya. She has said of the decision to invade Iraq: "Whether or not there is a direct link to the World Trade Center does not mean that Iraq is not meritorious of shedding blood. The common link is that they hate America." [58]


Ros-Lehtinen opposes US support to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East[27] and the Palestinian Authority. She describes herself as a "strong supporter of Israel" and regards the U.S. relationship with Israel as "critical to the national security interests of both nations".[60] Ros-Lehtinen supported President Donald Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital.[61]










As they say, "Devil is in the details".

Yeh nai film ha. On one hand they want to cancel Pakistan's major non nato status, on the other they want to pass the so called scholarship act for Pakistani women.
What a character this Malala is and how she is being sprung into action, most probably to one day hold a key position in Pakistan, where she can be controlled.
. Pakistan lost 60000 men and women, countless others injured, how many of them were treated like this? Do we even know their names? How was Malala picked? Who is her Father who wears black ribbon on Pakistan's independence day.
And before someone calls it a fuckin conspiracy, please remember Dr. Shakeel and how and who he was and the whole scenario of fake vaccine campaign.

Just look at the woman , a American congresswoman who sponsored this so called bill, her background and affiliations.

I am more concerned of this "character" Malala and her association with such filth. Even more, the Pakistan state and its aloofness with what is going on.

So how many of those 500 met with the US presidents of the time? How many spoke at the UN? How many awards or scholarships were made to their name?
You do not wish to see it because its your own country but please do not make it out to be what it is not. Yes Pakistani students do go to US but do you know how difficult it really is to get a US student visa? I can tell you belonging to this industry how hard it really is even for the most deserving students? On the other hand what is Malala's credentials that has allowed such riches to be bestowed upon her other than the fact that she was shot in some botched action, air lifted, paraded around the world telling how dangerous Pakistan really is and her father who now wears a black ribbon on his arm on Pakistan's independence day.

What exactly has she done for girls education in pakistan? As far as I can remember she wrote blogs on the BBC website during the occupation of Swat by the TTP in 2009. The Taliban warned her to stop but she continued and then suffered a fatal gun shot to the skull. It was pakistan alone with one of the Gulf states that provided her with immediate medical care and funded her treatment in the UK at a specialist trauma unit in Birmingham. Since then she has made speeches about education, what else has she done? Her two friends were also wounded but no news coverage about them.

[Hiraa]

She is going to speak like those who have invested in her.

So she's being groomed as their next weapon.

No matter,

وَمَكَرُوا وَمَكَرَ اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ خَيْرُ الْمَاكِرِين​

 

[Iltutmish]

Commie Malala and her progressive ideas for Pakistan. More Marxist we need right?

 

[Menace2Society]

She literally got shot in the face, she can say what she wants. Next time you see a terrorist don't let them settle into an area for 10 years deciding if good or bad.
