Told in an absorbing fashion, the vast historical epic follows the life of Mohammed Ali Jinnah, the hugely important but often-misrepresented world leader. The response to the initial Press screening was so positive, that the Distributor, Asiangold Ltd., has scaled the DVD release nationally in order to make the film available to a larger, more diverse audience Kicking off with a personal appearance and signing by Christopher Lee at London’s Harrods on Oct. 5th, the DVD will be available through HMV, Virgin, Choices, MVC, and most High Street retailers in addition to Asian superstore Moviebox, and online at www.cdguru.com. ‘We increased the breadth of distribution as we believe the film will appeal not only to those interested in the history of Pakistan, but to all fans of Mr. Lee, who believes it is the most important film he has made.’ commented Asiangold Sales Manager, Mitul Raja About The DVD: The film opens shortly after partition in 1947 with a dying Jinnah being rushed to hospital. In an unusual twist, Jinnah awakens in a computer room, where a decision on his eternal soul will be made. -

PM Meets Haroon Akhtar, Discusses Overall Economy, Tax Revenue
11th February, 2020 Mehtab Haider PM meets Haroon Akhtar, discusses overall economy, tax revenue ISLAMABAD: In an interesting development, Prime Minister Imran Khan on Monday listened to the views of former Special Assistant to PM on Revenue of the last PML-N government, Haroon Akhtar Khan, on the overall economy and tax revenues during a meeting of the economic team held at the PM Secretariat. Haroon Akhtar Khan was among the special invitees of the meeting held with the economic team under the chairmanship of Prime Minister Imran Khan. Haroon Akhtar Khan might be offered the position of Adviser to Prime Minister on Revenue anytime soon with the possibility to appoint the new chairman FBR of his choice, said sources. There are different names under consideration for the slot of chairman FBR including Tariq Pasha, Mujtaba Memon, Jehanzeb Khan, Nausheen Javed and Javed Ghani. With the latest development, Tariq Pasha is considered among the top contenders of this top position within the ranks of FBR. Pasha is going to reach the age of superannuation very soon, so if the government decides his name, he might be given a contract for three years period. Jehanzeb Khan, who is currently serving as Deputy Chairman Planning Commission, is in the race and he will also be retiring in coming August 2020. It is also a fact that Adviser to PM on Finance Dr Abdul Hafeez Shaikh wants to see Mujtaba Memon as the new chairman FBR but with the possibility of induction of new adviser to PM on revenue, his powers on the revenue front will be taken away from him. -
Political Parties: a Factor of Stability in Pakistan 1999-2008
ISSN: 2186-8492, ISSN: 2186-8484 Print ASIAN JOURNAL OF SOCIAL SCIENCES & HUMANITIES Vol. 2 No. 4 November 2013 POLITICAL PARTIES: A FACTOR OF STABILITY IN PAKISTAN 1999-2008 Muhammad Nawaz Shahzad 1, Rizwan Ullah Kokab 2 Department of History & Pakistan Studies, GCU, Faisalabad, PAKISTAN. 1 [email protected] , 2 [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper studies the Pakistan’s political stability in the context of the role of the political parties from 1999 to 2008. It also highlights that the culture of political parties went through a profound change during the Musharraf era in the result of the reforms introduced by the military regime. The questions how the political parties strengthened themselves in response to and due to the challenges posed by the army rule and how parties performed for the development of the stability in the country have been dealt. The role of ruling parties – Pakistan Muslim League (PML(Q)), Mutahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) – as well as the opposition parties – Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP), Pakistan Muslim League (PML(N)), and Mutahida Majlis-i- Aml (MMA)’s religious parties – as the safeguard to the instability has been defined through a qualitative research. It was assessed that the political parties matured themselves and did not sacrifice the stability of the country for their political gains . Keywords: Stability, party politics, influence, challenges, response INTRODUCTION In 12 th October 1999 Musharraf took over the government and arrested Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif. At that time Military officials from Musharraf's Joint Staff Headquarters met with regional corps commanders three times in September in anticipation of a possible coup. -

This visibility is based on, and has produced, a transnational circuit of representations of Pakistan. Pakistan is either condemned as an exceptional failure of the nation-state, or redeemed through exceptional nationalist figures of courage and resistance. Such representations have material consequences for Pakistanis, including elisions between anti-state struggles due to injustice and inequality, sectarian violence, and transnational war machines based in Pakistan. This dissertation explores the transnational politics of class, gender, and sexuality of these representations. The tropes deployed by these narrations attempt to manage an epistemological, emotional, and material excess of lives that cannot be contained by the categorical structure of the Pakistani nation-state. ii I analyze the 2012 film “The Reluctant Fundamentalist,” by Mira Nair, based on Mohsin Hamid’s 2007 novel; the 1998 film, “Jinnah,” by Jamil Dehlavi; and the 2008 novel, A Case of Exploding Mangoes by Mohammed Hanif.
