  • Afghan Muddle and the Politics of Opposition
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 3 No. 10 [Special Issue – May 2013] Afghan Muddle and the Politics of Opposition Abdul Qadir Mushtaq Assistant Professor Department of History GC University Faisalabad Punajb, Pakistan Dr Muhammad Ibrahim Assistant Professor GC University Lahore Punjab, Pakistan. Abstract Russian forces entered in Afghanistan in 1979 and it was being predicted that the next target of these forces would be the land of Pakistan. Pakistan tried to develop its role in creating hurdles on the way of it with the help of USA. On the other hand, being a neighboring country Pakistan faced the problems of different nature. Its economy was staggering, it future was looking bleak; its non-alignment was no more. Under these circumstances, what was the role of opposition on the issue which had emerged due to the policies of government towards Afghanistan? Did the members of National Assembly and Senate raise hue and cry over the issue of Afghan refugees and their involvement in the illegal businesses in Pakistan? What was the response of the Opposition over the increasing ratio of addiction in Pakistan? The border violations had become the matter of the day and what was the reaction of the members of the parliament over the sanctity of the border? Indirect Negotiations on Afghan Issue Mr. Mumtaz Ahmed Tarar took the issue in the National Assembly on 28th May 1985 and demanded few clarifications from the government. On 28th May 1985, He said, “Will the minister for foreign affairs be pleased to state whether

  • Pakistan: Challenges to Nawaz Sharif Government
    scholar warrior Pakistan: Challenges to Nawaz Sharif Government ALOK BANSAL The elections held on the 11th of May, 2013 have ushered in Mian Nawaz Sharif as the Prime Minister of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan for an unprecedented third term. Although, the elections gave Nawaz Sharif’s Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) a clear majority, the new government faces monumental challenges. Politically, the emergence of Imran Khan led Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) poses a major challenge to Nawaz Sharif in his traditional strong holds. Imran Khan, who has no love lost for Nawaz Sharif, ensured that his party emerged as the largest opposition party in terms of votes polled. PTI’s emergence as the largest political party in Taliban afflicted Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa (KP) and Imran Khan’s pro-Taliban proclivities have severely restricted Nawaz Sharif’s options of dealing with the menace of Talibanisation. In the run up to the elections, both Nawaz Sharif and Imran Khan had spoken against US drone attacks and had supported negotiation with the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). While this did win them some votes, it has become extremely difficult to deliver on their electoral promises. Although, handling the Taliban, and the inherent radicalization of society are the most significant issues requiring the government’s attention, the issues that needs utmost attention can be broadly divided into four aspects: sectarianism, economic crisis, ethno-nationalism, and Talibanisation. Sectarianism Sectarianism is the natural corollary of the divisive ‘Two Nation Theory’, which required an ‘object of hate’.

  • Pakistan's Nuclear Bomb: Beyond the Non-Proliferation Regime
    Pakistan’s nuclear bomb: beyond the non-proliferation regime FARZANA SHAIKH* Among the many concerns raised in the wake of the devastating attack on the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Washington DC on 11 September 2001 was Pakistan’s status as a nuclear power. Some feared that domestic opposition in Pakistan to its role as a ‘front-line’ state in the US cam- paign against ‘international terrorism’ would fuel a deadly coalition between Muslim extremist groups and pro-Islamic factions in the army, giving them access to nuclear weapons.1 Others were apprehensive that US dependence on Pakistan in the ‘war against terrorism’ would weaken the global nuclear non- proliferation regime by easing pressure on Pakistan to ‘cap’ its nuclear pro- gramme and freeze the development of nuclear weapons at existing levels. º Either way, there was a growing consensus that changes in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks on the United States would resurrect the debate on whether Pakistan could be trusted to act responsibly as a nuclear power given its long history of political instability. It was also reasonable to assume that Western concern about Pakistan’s nuclear weapons capability would heighten rather than diminish, and that greater efforts would be made to control Pakistan’s nuclear technology in order to prevent its falling into the hands of terrorist organiza- tions. For its part, Pakistan was expected to draw international attention to the military threat posed by India and resist any pressure to renounce the nuclear option. Bridging the gap between these diverging views is likely to be the main challenge facing arms control negotiators in the coming years.

  • The Removal of Nawaz Sharif and Changing Role of Punjab in Pakistani Politics
    December 2014 15 August 2017 The Removal of Nawaz Sharif and Changing Role of Punjab in Pakistani Politics Tridivesh Singh Maini FDI Associate Key Points The removal from office of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif could be the precedent for a change of approach towards the civil-military relationship on the part of the influential province of Punjab. The most populous province of Pakistan, Punjab has long dominated the Pakistani polity and military. Sharif’s party, the Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz), heads both the Punjab provincial government and the national government. If the PML-N decides to continue Sharif’s attempts at better relations with India, it will again place the government at odds with the army, which wants oversight of foreign policy issues pertaining to Afghanistan and India. If the PML-N is interested in improving links with India, it will need to take action against terrorist groups. Summary The most populous province of Pakistan, Punjab has long dominated the Pakistani polity and military. Initially, at least, former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif – a Punjabi – enjoyed a close relationship with the army. That relationship soured, however, following his dismissal from office during his first term as Prime Minister in 1993. A key factor for the falling out between Sharif and the army was the former’s attempts to build a better relationship with India. Arguably, that enmity only increased during Sharif’s third, most recent, term in office. In the wake of Sharif’s disqualification on 28 July 2017, the influential, traditionally pro-army Punjab leadership is now instead backing Sharif’s party, the Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz), or PML-N.

  • National Security Council of Pakistan
    National Security Council of Pakistan BACKGROUND GUIDE CHAIR: Joe Reed Coy Sanchez-Sponsler Dear Honorable Delegates, I have enjoyed being a part of the Model United Nations team at Stanford, always intrigued in anything concerning politics and power dynamics and regularly deprived of it as a chemical engineering student. Less academically speaking, I pursue string and vocal music as a cellist and bass and spend as much time as I can in the making of useful and/or beautiful things. As your Chair this conference and on the behalf of the rest of the PacMUN community and staff, I would like to extend a warm welcome to PacMUN 2017. This year in particular, with a global joint-crisis format and intricate recent events to develop, we look forward to vibrant debate and conversation on the political world. Functioning as prominent contemporary political figures engaging in diplomacy and negotiations, you will have the opportunity to jointly craft the policy of the National Security Council of Pakistan, a highly influential institution welding the heavyweights of Pakistan’s military and civil government leadership. Introduction to Committee The National Security Council of Pakistan (NSC) has had a tumultuous history as an agency since its conception under General Yahya Khan in 1969. Originally a part of the office of the President and Chief Martial Law Administrator, in 1984 the NSC’s first legal mainstay, article 152A, was proposed as part of the Revival of the Constitution Order (RCO) to provide for military influence of the civil government. A large departure from the Pakistani military’s previously apolitical stance, General Zia-ul-Haq’s move drew criticism from major political factions, the NSC having been sharply curtailed in 1972 after Bhutto’s civilian rise to power in 1971.

The findings of the study show that the Islamic stock market is significant at 5 events and conventional market is significant at 6 events out of 21 events. Both markets responded events count have a minor difference. Islamic market is more intense in response to political events; its significance level is high in responses. The findings of the study show that both markets are inefficient for short timeframe, after nearly 15 days, they absorb the noisy data and begins normalizing. The research contributes to the literature by proving that KSE 30 is less effective than KMI 30, as conventional markets respond more to different uncertain political events than Islamic markets. This research study is expected to make a significant contribution, especially in the Pakistan capital market literature as in this study researchers incorporate multiple political events and its impact on different stock markets performance. Further research may examine differences in the response of the KSE and other Pakistani stock exchanges (such as Lahore and Islamabad) to Pakistani political events.
