'White' racism emerging as new force in west: Rabbani

Chairman Senate Mian Raza Rabbani on Tuesday said that white racism was emerging in the west as a new force. He expressed these views during a meeting with President of National Assembly of the People's Power of Cuba, Deputy Esteban Lazo Hernandez in Havana.
Chairman Senate is on official visit to Cuba heading a parliamentary delegation comprising Parliamentarians including Senators Mushahid Hussain Syed, Dr Jehanzeb Jamaldini, Shahi Syed, Lieutenant General Salahuddin Tirimzi (R), Gianchand, Mohsin Aziz, Nisar Muhammad Khan and Secretary Senate Amjed Pervez Malik. Emphasising the need for chalking out a global peace plan, Rabbani said that a dialogue among the civilisations must replace the clash of civilisations.
"The forces of western imperialism have always destabilised those world leaders who stood for national interest, welfare of their people and resisted against the hegemony of the super powers. As the economies of the super powers thrive on war industry therefore, we cannot look at them to bring peace for us," he said. Chairman Senate said, "It was great pleasure to be in Cuba especially in the beautiful city of Havana." He said he was looking forward for this visit which could not take place last year. He was eager and hopeful to meet Commander-in-Chief Dr Fidel Castro Ruz.
He said, "Western imperialism jeopardised the peace and stability of many countries for promotion of its hegemonic agenda and created war like situation in different parts of the world for exploiting the resources." Mian Raza Rabbani said, "Elected governments were overthrown who resisted the hegemonic designs of the west and preferred national interest and welfare of their people."
He eulogised the services of great revolutionary leader late Fidel Castro for upholding the national interests and welfare of the people. He said that, "Three leading lessons of Fidel Castro principles including resilience against super powers, safeguard national interest and welfare of masses would be the model of change for world." The Chairman said, "Pakistani nation felt pain of Cuban people who not only lost a great leader but also a father, friend and comrade who changed their lives." He said, "The Cuban leader was a ray of hope for poor who gave a direction to suppressed, down trodden and exploited people to live their life with dignity and fight for their rights rather than giving up before their unjust supremacy."
He said, "Great revolutionary leader Fidel Castro, who was the last one among the leaders who change the world with the principles and ideology. He was against the United States imperialism as he represented his own people and did not become the part and parcel of the forces of imperialism." He said, "All the great leaders including Jamal Abdul Nasir and Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto have a thread running common among them that they were destabilised by the US imperialism."
He said, "Colonialism exploited our resources so is the case even today when our resources are being taken away as interest in disguise of loans and assistance of the NGOs sectors. Fidel Castro knew the ingredients of the resilience and taught us how to look into the eyes of the super powers and represented the thinking of oppressed and suppressed people around the world."
