It is our duty to invest in a better future for all children with disabilities, says Petar Mandjoukov, Ambassador of Goodwill and recipient of the Order of Charity awarded by the U.S. Congress.

If we fail to make the investments required for children with special needs today, there will be tragic consequences in the future not only for Europe, but for the whole world. These were the words of Petar Mandjoukov, Ambassador of Goodwill of the Disability Movement in Bulgaria and recipient of the Order of Charity awarded by the U.S. Congress, expressing his high appreciation of the new EU Strategy for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities 2021-2030, presented on March 3 of this year

LAHORE: While being at the helm of affairs, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has demanded that the Election Commission should be disbanded over its failure to conduct the recent Senate elections in a transparent manner.
The PTI has not come up with a demand such as this for the first time. After the 2013 ballot exercise, which had seen Nawaz Sharif coming into power for the third time, the loudest voice in the opposition, Imran Khan, had repeatedly accused Nawaz of rigging the polls.
In August 2015, he had announced to hold a sit-in in front of Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) offices in Islamabad if its members did not tender their resignations by October 4 of the same year. “The ECP officials have no legal or moral standing left and they should immediately resign,” Imran had publicly asserted.
