<p>Mohit in the past has soucred a lot of talent from pakistan from aatif  aslaam in zeher, jawad ahmed, Annie khalid , raafaquat ali khan and many  others including Mustafa zahid  himself<br />
and hence wants to take  this association further by casting the lead actor and actress for the  film aashiqui 2. It&#8217;s has been confirmed that Vishesh films is launching  a world wide hunt on a enormous scale to cast this new Comers &#8220;jodi&#8221;  for aashiqui 2. Although both Mustafa and mohit haven&#8217;t confirmed things  yet , we believe the announcement for this talent hunt should be out  anytime this month .Rumor also has it that Mustafa might jump into the  acting wagon,also he has denied it over the months but something is  surely cooking now</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://pakhungama.com/pakhungama.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Concert-300x187.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-12172 alignright" title="Concert-300x187" src="http://pakhungama.com/pakhungama.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Concert-300x187.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="187" /></a></p>
<p>LAHORE: The Punjab Assembly  has passed a resolution seeking a ban on organising ‘objectionable’  music concerts in private and public academic institutions.</p>
<p><strong> </strong>The move comes weeks after three students were killed in a stampede at a concert in Lahore.<span id="more-12171"></span></p>
<p>The resolution is among eight presented on Tuesday, which has been  specified as a private members’ day. Five resolutions were passed, two  are pending while one was disposed off.</p>
<p>Seemal Kamran, an MPA from the opposition Pakistan Muslim  League-Quaid, moved the resolution against concerts. Deputy Speaker Rana  Mashhood asked Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah Khan if the treasury  members opposed the resolution.</p>
<p>Sanaullah replied in the affirmative, after which Kamran was asked to argue the merits of her resolution.</p>
<p>“Pakistan is an Islamic republic and permitting music concerts to  take place in public and private educational institutions is against the  morality and ethics of Islamic culture,” Kamran said. “When I was in  college, our teachers questioned us over [inane things like] long and  coloured nails. These days, institutions have done away with this kind  of discipline in the name of ‘moderation’.”<a href="http://pakhungama.com/pakhungama.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Ali-Zafar.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-12173 alignright" title="Ali-Zafar" src="http://pakhungama.com/pakhungama.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Ali-Zafar.jpg" alt="" width="261" height="176" /></a></p>
<p>She asked the house which rules allowed such concerts to be  organised. “Academic institutions are using these concerts as  opportunities to publicise their branches.”</p>
<p>Citing the unfortunate deaths earlier this month, she demanded that  the resolution be passed for the sake of a secure future for our  children.</p>
<p>After hearing her arguments, Sanaullah said that the government  cannot impose a blanket ban on concerts as many of them include national  songs etc. Therefore, he suggested, the word ‘objectionable’ be added  to the resolution and lent his support if that amendment was made.</p>
<p>The resolution was then unanimously passed after Kamran agreed to Sanaullah’s suggestion.</p>
<p>During the debate on the resolution, the law minister claimed that  the media had downplayed the incident where three girls died in a  concert organised by a private college, which is owned by the same group  that runs a popular nationwide news channel. “If the same incident had  occurred in a concert organised by a government college, media would  have been severe in its criticism. The media has set a precedent that if  someone wants to smoothly run a business, they can conceal misconduct  by also running a channel or newspaper on the side.”</p>
<p>Meanwhile, speaking to reporters outside the Punjab Assembly,  Pakistan Peoples’ Party’s Deputy Parliamentary Leader Shaukat Mehmood  Basra said that the resolution should not have been passed as no one had  defined the word ‘objectionable’ or what is in the ‘national interest’.</p>
<p><strong>Blue passports</strong></p>
<p>The house also passed a resolution seeking a blue passport Gratis for  members of provincial assemblies along the lines of those issued to  members of the National Assembly and Senate.</p>
<p>The resolution, which was moved by PML-Q’s Samia Amjad on behalf of  her party colleague Samina Khawar Hayat, seeks that the federal  government issue the passports.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, PML-Q Parliamentary Leader Chaudhry Zahiruddin Khan moved a  resolution that recommended that federal government issue funds for  SCARP projects in Punjab. Under the project, the federal government has  to issue funds for installation of tube wells in areas where water is  saline. The house approved this resolution as well.</p>
<p>Two other resolutions were passed. One resolution, moved by PML-Q’s  Chaudhry Aamir Sultan Cheema, sought establishment of waiting rooms in  all public hospitals. The other, introduced by Humaira Awais Shahid  (also from PML-Q), supported the formulation of a comprehensive policy  on controlling population.</p>
<p><strong>Pending resolutions</strong></p>
<p>Debate on a resolution, moved PML-Q’s Amna Ulfat and seeking a ban on  the screening of Bollywood films, was put on hold as Sanaullah said  that after the 18<sup>th</sup> amendment, the subject was of provincial significance and the Punjab government is working on legislation on the matter.</p>
<p>Another resolution was introduced by Ziaullah Shah, seeking  construction of boundary walls around all graveyards and abolishment of  black magic and kafan theft, was also pending as many members presented  amendments for it. MPA Samia Amjad said that there should be a law  sentencing black magicians to death while Shahid said that they should  be banned from advertising in newspapers.</p>
<p>The session was adjourned till Wednesday.</p>
<p><strong>House resolutions</strong></p>
<p>A simple resolution is a legislative proposal that addresses matters  entirely within the prerogative of one house or the other. It requires  neither the approval of the other house nor the signature of the  President, and it does not have the force of law. Most simple  resolutions concern the rules of one house. They are also used to  express the sentiments of a single house.</p>

GRAPHIC: MAHA HAIDER</p>
<div><strong>KARACHI: </strong><strong> “When I heard the news, I was baffled, speechless and  flabbergasted. The incident itself was pretty shocking but the fact that  it was my concert made it even harder to believe,” says Lahore-based  singer Annie Khalid who performed at Alhamra Cultural Complex last week.  “During the concert, I was walking around the arena, interacting with  crowd; it’s so unfortunate because maybe for a moment, I saw one of those girls or shook hands with the ones injured.”<span id="more-12164"></span></strong>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Khalid performed at the all-girls concert, held by the Punjab Group  of Colleges, in which three girls were killed due to a stampede  following the concert. The news of the tragedy received national  coverage, as organisers and the government, have been blamed for the  lack of security and preparation to handle the capacity of the crowd.  Khalid, equally stunned by the calamity, has maintained that a better  crowd-management strategy should have been in place. “Maybe they  could’ve given a gap between letting people out.”</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Khalid explains that fan reactions can range from people  flipping out to screaming and taking pictures, “Female fans tend to  always scream and shriek,  while male fans can have a more intimidating  reaction which can, at times, include grabbing or pulling.”</p>
<p>However, speaking of her own experience at the concert, Khalid said  that the crowd was surprisingly very well-behaved and energised.  “All-boys concerts tend to get a little bit more rowdy but all-girls  concerts are always civilised and well-behaved,” adds Khalid.</p>
<p>Her manager Faisal Khan, who has considerable amount of experience in  the music industry as he managed the band Roxen as well, explains that  at international events, there is always a medical staff and a team of  attendants on duty so that in case something goes wrong, they have the  situation under control. Khan believes that anyone planning an event  this big should leave some space, that is, if the venue had a crowd  capacity of 20,000 people, only 15,000 should be allowed in.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Entity Paradigm (EP) bassist and manager Hassaan Khalid,  who is familiar with the logistical aspects of AlHamra after having  performed there repeatedly, claims that security is the last thing on  organisers’ minds due to the mounting costs. “Bands such as Junoon or  Awaz had many issues because the scale of their shows was such. The  reality is that event management is not an easy task when there are  thousands of people involved.”</p>
<p>Event management company Elysium Entertainment’s CEO Mukarram Jamil,  who has organised several major concerts across the country, believes  that crowd-control is the most essential aspect of holding a big  concert. “The most important thing is monitoring how people are let out  of the stadium,” he says while adding that in the past he had used  techniques such as partitioning off areas so that people are released in  sections. Additionally, Jamil also said it’s also important to make  sure that there are enough exits.</p>
<p>Insiders have said that the school had chosen to use its  own security rather than AlHamra security which is a slightly more  experienced in dealing with a crowd that big. “However, the incident has  to be looked into more carefully because a disaster like this at a  private event is rare,” Jamil adds. Thus far, 10 people have been  arrested and other events and concerts organised by the university have  been postponed till the incident is looked into.</p>
<p><strong>International rules for large gatherings</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p>• Determine the expected number of people and plan the event at a facility of sufficient size.</p>
<p>• Analyse similar events at the venue to find if there were any significant problems.</p>
<p>• There should also be an adequate number of volunteers or security  personnel who can take appropriate steps and can immediately respond in  case of troublesome situations.</p>
<p>• Using crowd-control products such as stanchions and velvet rope can  help people stay in lines. If you need to separate areas for privacy  and security reasons, barricades can also be used.</p>
<p>• To avoid overcrowding, the number of people should be monitored.  Once the maximum capacity of the venue has been reached, no further  entry should be allowed.</p>
