GIKI won the throne of Indo-Pak debates on Indian soil. The debates were first of their kind, held from Sep 25-29th, in Sri Venkateswara College, University of Delhi.
Teams from GIKI and LUMS were earlier selected to represent Pakistan by the Debating Society of Pakistan. GIKI fielded two teams in the competition.
Imaad Rashid (Debating Captain) and Waqar Nayyar and Mustafa Khan. 1) Mohsin Mansur and Abdul Ghani
3) Waqas Burney
Raheel Adnan Janjua (Coordinator LDS) was the chief adjudicator from Pakistan. A close fight in the initial round finally gave GIKI-A a victory over LUMS in the semifinal which earned them the right to represent Pakistan in the final.
In the final GIKI – A beat RAMJAS College Delhi, the best debating team in India at the moment, by a walloping margin of 7-0.
Imaad Rashid (Batch-13), captain of the GIKI debating team, was declared as the best speaker.
Waqar Nayyar was the 2nd best speaker of the competition. GIKI-B finished 5th in the competition. The winning team got a cash prize of 9,000 Indian Rupees, while the Best Speaker got a cash prize of 3000 Indian Rupees.
