Pakistan's 2008 Elections
Pakistan’s 2008 Elections: Results and Implications for U.S. Policy name redacted Specialist in South Asian Affairs April 9, 2008 Congressional Research Service 7-.... www.crs.gov RL34449 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Pakistan’s 2008 Elections: Results and Implications for U.S. Policy Summary A stable, democratic, prosperous Pakistan actively working to counter Islamist militancy is considered vital to U.S. interests. Pakistan is a key ally in U.S.-led counterterrorism efforts. The history of democracy in Pakistan is a troubled one marked by ongoing tripartite power struggles among presidents, prime ministers, and army chiefs. Military regimes have ruled Pakistan directly for 34 of the country’s 60 years in existence, and most observers agree that Pakistan has no sustained history of effective constitutionalism or parliamentary democracy. In 1999, the democratically elected government of then-Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was ousted in a bloodless coup led by then-Army Chief Gen. Pervez Musharraf, who later assumed the title of president. In 2002, Supreme Court-ordered parliamentary elections—identified as flawed by opposition parties and international observers—seated a new civilian government, but it remained weak, and Musharraf retained the position as army chief until his November 2007 retirement. In October 2007, Pakistan’s Electoral College reelected Musharraf to a new five-year term in a controversial vote that many called unconstitutional. The Bush Administration urged restoration of full civilian rule in Islamabad and called for the February 2008 national polls to be free, fair, and transparent. U.S. criticism sharpened after President Musharraf’s November 2007 suspension of the Constitution and imposition of emergency rule (nominally lifted six weeks later), and the December 2007 assassination of former Prime Minister and leading opposition figure Benazir Bhutto.

28 Dec, 2020 - 15 Jan, 2021
Media Tracking Report 28 Dec, 2020 - 15 Jan, 2021 Education in Pakistan Govt announces phase-wise opening of educational institutions from Jan 18 - DAWN The country's education ministers, in a meeting, decided to reopen educational institutions in the country in phases from January 18. Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Health Dr Faisal Sultan, cautioned that more precautions were needed to control the spread of Covid-19, since data showed that closing the educational institutions earlier had led to a "delay in [the spread of] the virus". In a separate press conference, Punjab Minister for School Education Dr Murad Raas termed the 50 per cent attendance policy "the most important thing", saying that schools were being opened "not because the coronavirus situation [had improved] but because the children were incurring huge educational losses". Pakistan, Turkey ink education MoU - The News Turkish foreign minister Mevlut Cavusoglu and Pakistani education minister Shafqat Mahmood signed a MoU for the promotion of literacy in Pakistan in a ceremony also attended by foreign minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi. With this, Turkey’s Maarif Foundation will be able to expand its operations in Pakistan in terms of opening and running new campuses, cultural and educational centers, language centers, student exchange programs, and scholarships The worst of worlds: Faisal Bari - DAWN A common complaint about public-sector teacher recruitment used to be regarding nepotism and corruption, since then there has been significant reform with teacher’s recruited through a system that is more transparent and ‘objective’. However, this has had unintended consequences. Literature on teachers shows that academic performance of candidates does not predict well whether a person is going to be a good teacher or not.

In order to achieve this there is a critical need to reorganize and revitalize the Ministry on the lines of international best practices. The Chair then stated that the present system of Research and Development under the Ministry of Science and Technology (S&T) is highly fragmented and lacks focus.

Pakistan 2019 International Religious Freedom Report
PAKISTAN 2019 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary The constitution establishes Islam as the state religion and requires all provisions of the law to be consistent with Islam. The constitution states, “Subject to law, public order, and morality, every citizen shall have the right to profess, practice, and propagate his religion.” It also states, “A person of the Qadiani group or the Lahori group (who call themselves Ahmadis), is a non-Muslim.” The courts continued to enforce blasphemy laws, punishment for which ranges from life in prison to execution for a range of charges, including “defiling the Prophet Muhammad.” According to civil society reports, there were at least 84 individuals imprisoned on blasphemy charges, at least 29 of whom had received death sentences, as compared with 77 and 28, respectively, in 2018. The government has never executed anyone specifically for blasphemy. According to data provided by nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), police registered new blasphemy cases against at least 10 individuals. Christian advocacy organizations and media outlets stated that four Christians were tortured or mistreated by police in August and September, resulting in the death of one of them. On January 29, the Supreme Court upheld its 2018 judgment overturning the conviction of Asia Bibi, a Christian woman sentenced to death for blasphemy in 2010. Bibi left the country on May 7, after death threats made it unsafe for her to remain. On September 25, the Supreme Court overturned the conviction of a man who had spent 18 years in prison for blasphemy. On December 21, a Multan court sentenced English literature lecturer Junaid Hafeez to death for insulting the Prophet Muhammad after he had spent nearly seven years awaiting trial and verdict.

Downloading the Tweets, API Limits Imposed by Twitter Should Be Respected
A Framework for Detecting Event related Sentiments of a Community By Muhammad Aslam Jarwar Department of Computer Science Quaid-i-Azam University Islamabad, Pakistan April 20, 2019 Dedicated to H & H (Hasnain & Hibbah) My Kids Declaration I hereby declare that this dissertation is the presentation of my original research work. Wherever contributions of others are involved, every effort is made to indicate this clearly with due reference to the literature and acknowledgment of collaborative research and discussions. This work was done under the guidance of Dr. Rabeeh Ayaz Abbasi, Department of Computer Sciences, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad. Date: April 20, 2019 Muhammad Aslam Jarwar ii Abstract Social media has revolutionized human communication and styles of interaction. Due to its easiness and effective medium, people share and exchange information, carry out discussion on various events, and express their opinions. For effective policy making and understanding the response of a community on different events, we need to monitor and analyze the social media. In social media, there are some users who are more influential, for example, a famous politician may have more influence than a common person. These influential users belong to specific communities. The main object of this research is to know the sentiments of a specific community on various events. For detecting the event based sentiments of a community we propose a generic framework. Our framework identifies the users of a specific community on twitter. After identifying the users of a community, we fetch their tweets and identify tweets belonging to specific events. The event based tweets are pre-processed.

Media Tracking Report 22 June - 10 July, 2020 Education in Pakistan Uniform education system at primary level from next year: PM - DAWN Prime Minister Imran Khan appreciated Federal Education Minister Shafqat Mahmood for preparing a uniform education system which will be introduced across the country next year, replacing the current “apartheid education system”. He said for preparing the uniform education system, Mr Mahmood deserves appreciation. He added that the three education systems in the country; English medium, public schools and madrassas would be brought under one fold. For this, lengthy consultations with private schools and other stakeholders had been held. Schools should reopen in September, education ministers decide - DAWN It was decided during the interprovincial education ministers’ virtual conference that educational institutions will be opened in the first week of September, provided there is permission from the Ministry of National Health Services and approval from the NCC, which had previously decided to keep schools closed until July 15. The sources said that while discussing examinations of professional groups, such as medical and engineering entry tests and religious boards’ exams, the participants proposed that they be held with special SOPs in place. CPEC in Pakistan Agreement for $1.5bn hydropower project signed - DAWN Prime Minister Imran Khan has said that China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) will be a ‘game changer’ for the country. He has further lauded the hydropower project being commissioned under the CPEC. “Earlier, the CPEC was confined to road connectivity, but now other aspects of the corridor are being unfolded,” he added. A part of CPEC, with an investment of $1.5 billion, 700.7-megawatt Azad Pattan will not involve fuel import, thus enabling the country to move towards cheaper and greener power while generating local job opportunities.
