Minister for Interior (Mr. A. Rehman Malik): (a) There is no delay in issuance of Computerized National Identity Cards (CNICs) to the applicants and all the identity cards are being issued to the applicants within the prescribed time frame. (b) The prescribed time frame for issuance of CNIC is as under:— Executive/SNIC 09 days Urgent 23 days Normal 31 days 3 47. *Mr. Himayatullah Mayar: Will the Minister for Interior be pleased to state: (a) the year-wise total amount of financial losses suffered to each province including FATA due to war against terrorism during the last four years till date alongwith the details thereof; and (b) the year-wise total amount of funds received by the Ministry to control the said war in each province including FATA during the said period alongwith the details thereof? Reply not received. 63. *Ms. Imrana Saeed Jamil: Will the Minister for Interior be pleased to state: (a) whether it is a fact that quackery is rampant in Islamabad; (b) if so, the reasons thereof? Minister for Interior (Mr. A. Rehman Malik): (a) Like other parts of the country, quackery has also emerged as serious health threat in the Federal Capital, particularly its rural areas. Despite serious efforts by the Health Department, this menace could not be controlled mainly because of the reasons narrated below:— Reasons: (i) Non-existence of any proper law in the federal capital, which may provide for registration/licensing of the health facilities. Currently, establishment of any health facility i.e. hospital, clinic and medical center does not require any permission / license from any authority and this legal lacuna provides sufficient space to unscrupulous elements 4 to play havoc with the lives of the in-nocent people. Legislation on the pattern of “Punjab Health Care Commission Act, 2010” can play pivotal role in controlling this major health challenge. (ii) The existing “Pakistan Medical & Dental Council Act, 2012” is defective as it only superficially addresses the problem of quackery. This law, except to the extent of registering cases and submitting challan in the court of the Magistrate 1st Class, does not empower its authorized/notified officers i.e. District Health Officer to close down/seal any health facility found violative of the law. The law needs to be amended to this extent so as to empower the notified officers to seal the clinic/hospital being run in absence of the qualified doctors thus safeguarding the public health. (iii) Another factor attributable to the spread of quackery is shortage of qualified doctors in the rural areas thus creating a space for the quacks to successfully penetrate in the health system. (b) Reasons as explain in Column (i) above. 121. *Ms. Shaheen Ishfaq: Will the Minister for Interior be pleased to state the steps taken by the Government to recover and control the illegal arms in the country during the last five years at present? Minister for Interior (Mr. A. Rehman Malik): (a) Answer may please be seen at Annex-A. 5 6 7 8 9 Gilgit Baltistan The following steps taken by the Government of Gilgit Baltistan to recover the illegal arms during last five years:— Joint and co-ordinated operations by Police and other LEAs in different areas of Gilgit Baltistan. Increased presence of police in important paces by bringing in personnel from District to District in Gilgit Baltistan. Formation of Special teams of police for arrest of illegal arm smugglers. Strengthening and equipping the entry/exit point Nakas into the region. Strengthening the CID and Special Branch for vigilance/timely collection of important informations. 10 124. *Mr. Muhammad Rehan Hashmi: Will the Minister for Finance, Revenue and Planning and Development be pleased to state: (a) whether it is a fact that Rs. 900 million funds allocated under normal annual development plan during the year 2012-13; (b) whether it is also a fact that Rs.8791.8019 expended under the said plan during the year 2011-12; (c) if the answers to part (a) and (b) above are in the affirmative, the present status of emergent flood schemes launched under the said plan during the year 2011-12 till date? Minister for Finance, Revenue and Planning and Development (Mr. Saleem H. Mandviwalla): (a) Yes, an amount of Rs. 900 million is allocated for the “Normal Annual Development Programme (Emergent Flood Schemes)” under the development grant of Ministry of Water & Power in Federal Public Sector Development Programme (PSDP 2012-13). (b) It is not correct. An amount of Rs. 8913.683 [million] has been reported as accumulated estimated expenditure upto 30th June, 2012 against the said programme (since 1978-79).

  • Pakistan: Arrival and Departure
    01-2180-2 CH 01:0545-1 10/13/11 10:47 AM Page 1 stephen p. cohen 1 Pakistan: Arrival and Departure How did Pakistan arrive at its present juncture? Pakistan was originally intended by its great leader, Mohammed Ali Jinnah, to transform the lives of British Indian Muslims by providing them a homeland sheltered from Hindu oppression. It did so for some, although they amounted to less than half of the Indian subcontinent’s total number of Muslims. The north Indian Muslim middle class that spearheaded the Pakistan movement found itself united with many Muslims who had been less than enthusiastic about forming Pak- istan, and some were hostile to the idea of an explicitly Islamic state. Pakistan was created on August 14, 1947, but in a decade self-styled field marshal Ayub Khan had replaced its shaky democratic political order with military-guided democracy, a market-oriented economy, and little effective investment in welfare or education. The Ayub experiment faltered, in part because of an unsuccessful war with India in 1965, and Ayub was replaced by another general, Yahya Khan, who could not manage the growing chaos. East Pakistan went into revolt, and with India’s assistance, the old Pakistan was bro- ken up with the creation of Bangladesh in 1971. The second attempt to transform Pakistan was short-lived. It was led by the charismatic Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, who simultaneously tried to gain control over the military, diversify Pakistan’s foreign and security policy, build a nuclear weapon, and introduce an economic order based on both Islam and socialism.

  • Distilling Eligibility and Virtue: Articles 62 and 63 of the Pakistani Constitution
    Distilling Eligibility and Virtue Distilling Eligibility and Virtue: Articles 62 and 63 of the Pakistani Constitution Saad Rasool* This article analyses the provisions regarding the qualifications and disqualifications for Parliamentarians set out in the constitution of Pakistan, and traces their evolution over the years. It establishes that the objective interpretation of these provisions in the past has given way to a more subjective and moralistic approach in the run-up to the 2013 general elections. It further argues that, for the most part, these provisions lay down unascertainable and subjective criteria for qualification and disqualification of a Parliamentarian. This in turn lends support to the main argument of this article that the fundamental right of an individual to contest for a public office, and an equal fundamental right of the citizenry to choose their representative cannot be refused, on the grounds of such ambiguous ideas. However, this is not to say that there should be no minimum criteria for qualifying to be a Parliamentarian; rather it is suggested that the present criteria suffer from serious defects which need to be remedied. Introduction The endeavour of law, in a democratic dispensation, is that of creating an ideal society – a society that is not simply a reflection of who we are, but, more importantly, of who we aspire to be. This endeavour, reflected in the corpus of our laws, emanates primarily from the legislature – the arm of the state that is entrusted with shaping the laws and freedoms that define the spirit of our society. In fidelity to the democratic ethos of a * Lawyer based in Lahore, and Visiting Faculty at LUMS.

  • Pakistan's Domestic Political Setting
    Pakistan’s Domestic Political Setting Prepared by the Congressional Research Service for distribution to multiple congressional offices, February 19, 2013 Pakistan is a parliamentary democracy in which the Prime Minister is head of government and the President is head of state. A bicameral Parliament is comprised of a 342-seat National Assembly (NA) and a 104-seat Senate, both with directly-elected representatives from each of the country’s four provinces, as well as from the Federally Administered Tribal Areas and the Islamabad Capital Territory (the quasi-independent regions of Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan have no representation). The Prime Minister is selected for an indeterminate term by the NA. The President is elected to a five-year term by an Electoral College (EC) comprised of both chambers of Parliament, as well as members of each of the country’s four provincial assemblies. NA and provincial assembly members are elected to five-year terms. Senate terms are six years, with elections every three years. In recent years, Pakistan’s Supreme Court has taken actions significantly affecting governance. Pakistan’s political history is a troubled one. Military regimes have ruled Pakistan for more than half of its independent existence, interspersed with periods of generally weak civilian governance. In 1999, the democratically-elected government was ousted in a bloodless coup by then-Army Chief General Pervez Musharraf, who later assumed the title of President. Musharraf also retained the powerful title of Army Chief until his 2007 army retirement. Weeks before that retirement, the EC had “reelected” Musharraf to a new five-year term in a vote that many called unconstitutional (he resigned the presidency in 2008).
