PILDAT REPORT FOREWORD According to the provisions of Section 42A of the Representation of the People Act 1976 and Section 25A of the Senate (Election) Act 1975, all elected representatives in the national and provincial legislatures of Pakistan must submit detailed accounts of their assets and liabilities to the Election Commission of Pakistan on a prescribed proforma by the end of each financial year. Failure to submit a declaration may lead to disqualification of the elected member. The declared assets are compiled and published by the Election Commission in the form of a Gazette of the Federal Government for the information and use of general public. This is a very welcome step, advancing transparency in the financial dealings of elected representative and, with effective monitoring by the media and civil society groups, may lead to increased accountability. This report aims to contribute to that process. It is important that these declarations of assets are made accessible to public in a comprehensible format. It is also important that the declarations are analysed, to demonstrate and highlight underlying trends among parties, provinces and individual legislators. This report aims to translate the information from abstract figures to easily understood data, putting the information available to the public in perspective. This report that analyses the declaration of sssets submitted by MNAs for the years 2006-2007 and 2007-2008, has been compiled by the PILDAT team of researchers and analysts using mathematical, computer based analysis. Earlier, PILDAT had prepared and disseminated assets' analysis of MNAs for the years 2002-2003, 2003-2004, 2004-2005 and 2005-2006. However, it is important to note that the data used is that provided by representatives themselves in their returns. We have not attempted to verify the information provided by the legislators. The net worth of an MNA was calculated as being the total assets of each MNA, his/her spouse and children, deducting his/her and his/her immediate family's liabilities. In the one case of a married couple, both of whom are elected MNAs, their total declared assets as a family have been divided equally between them. Analysis of data has been hampered by the method by which some MNAs have reported. In particular, a number of MNAs have listed their property, such as land or assets, but not its value. This clearly hampers proper analysis and hinders transparency. We hope that this presentation of the key findings of our analysis will enhance public understanding and will help promote political discourse within Pakistan. Islamabad December 2009 06 How Rich are Pakistani MNAs? PILDAT REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMAR SUMMARY Y This report attempts to present some key findings of our analysis of the declarations of assets by members of the 12th and 13th National Assemblies of Pakistan, filed in 2006-2007 and 2007-2008 respectively. The sources of information for this report are the Gazettes published by the Election Commission of Pakistan on October 17, 2007 and October 15, 2008. The report demonstrates that the current average value of assets held by an MNA stands at Rs. 73.92 million, based on the 2007-2008 declarations. This figure demonstrates an increase of 87.2% from the 2006-2007 figure of Rs. 39.487 million. The average value of assets owned by non-Muslim MNAs, Rs. 19 million, is 75% lower than the overall average of almost Rs. 74 million, based on 2007-2008 figures. This disparity has increased from 58% in the previous year. In geographical terms, the differences in average wealth are significant. In 2007-2008, MNAs from Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) have the highest average value of assets per MNA followed by those from NWFP, Punjab, FATA, Sindh and Balochistan respectively. Similarly, in 2006-2007, MNAs from ICT headed the list. In terms of the percentage share of the combined value of assets in the year 2007-2008, Punjab tops the list, with a share of 56 %, followed by NWFP (31 %), Sindh (8 %), FATA (2 %), ICT (2 %) and Balochistan (1 %). In the previous year the figures differed considerably, with Punjab topping the list with 75 % of the combined assets (far greater than warranted by their representation level, 54%, in the National Assembly), followed by Sindh (10 %), Balochistan (6 %), ICT (5 %), NWFP (3 %) and FATA (1 %). In terms of political party affiliation, the figures also vary widely. In 2007-2008, the PML-F is top of the list in terms of the average wealth of its MNAs (average assets per MNA: Rs. 159 million), followed by the NPP Rs. 124 million, the PPPP (Rs. 97 million) and the ANP (Rs. 77 million), the PML (Rs. 71 million), the PML-N (Rs. 68 million), the PPP-S (Rs. 30 million), Independents (Rs. 28.44 million), the MQM (Rs. 25 million), the BNP (Rs. 13 million) and the MMA (Rs. 6 million). These figures demonstrate a 28 fold difference between the average wealth of the MNAs in the party with the greatest average wealth and that with the least. The 2007-2008 figures demonstrate a marked shift in both size and distribution from the 2006-2007 figures, where the list was topped by the PML (average assets per MNA: Rs. 57 million), followed by the PML-N (Rs. 53 million), the PTI (Rs. 49 million), the PPPP (Rs. 38 million), the PPP-S (Rs. 28 million), the PML-F (Rs. 21 million), the MMA (Rs. 17 million), independents (Rs 13 million), the PAT (Rs. 11 million), the MQM (Rs. 9 million), the JWP (Rs. 5 million) and the PKMAP (Rs. 0.25 million). In terms of individual wealth, the 2007-2008 declarations reveal the wealthiest MNA to be Mr. Mehboob Ullah Jan (NA-23, Kohistan, NWFP, PPPP) with total assets of Rs. 3.252 billion. He is followed by Ms. Nuzhat Sadiq (NA-277, 07 How Rich are Pakistani MNAs? PILDAT REPORT Punjab-V, PML-N), with total assets of Rs. 1.514 billion, Chaudhry Zahid Iqbal (NA-162, Sahiwal-III, Punjab, PPPP), with assets amounting to Rs.

  • The Gilgit ‘Textbook Controversy’ and Its Conflictual Context

    The Gilgit ‘Textbook Controversy’ and Its Conflictual Context

    Georg Stöber Religious Identities Provoked: The Gilgit ‘Textbook Controversy’ and its Conflictual Context1 Abstract Textbooks, and the curricula on which they are based, are often used to foster specific identities that might not be the identity of a substantial part of the population. If they meet with pre-existing strife, even textbooks can provoke violent outbreaks, which can only be understood in the context of the underlying conflict. This article will analyse one example, putting it in the context of textbook politics in South Asia. In Gilgit (Northern Areas of Pakistan), protests against presentations of religious practices in school textbooks resulted in riots and deaths in 2004 as well as in the closure of schools for one year. Even if this specific issue seemed to have been solved in May 2005, tension continued. The population of this region is religiously heterogeneous (despite being Muslim). Developments in the Islamic World elsewhere (Iran, Afghanistan) deepened the divide. The region experienced ‘sectarian clashes’ for quite some time, the authorities being unable or unwilling to control them. This regional case is linked to the general (not only educational) policies of Pakistan, especially to the promotion of “the ideology of Pakistan”. Despite meeting with some criticism, this concept is not only used to demarcate the Pakistani “self” from the (especially Indian) “other”, but also to do away with internal differences. However, the attempt at homogenisation is counterproductive where it can be interpreted as being directed against specific group identities and interests. On Thursday, June 3, 2004, “one person was killed and several were injured when Shia protestors clashed with security forces in Gilgit city”.2 As the correspondent wrote, the army had imposed a curfew and “was called out in Gilgit to maintain law and order” in expectation of demonstrations.

    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.
