The motive of this evaluation is to present with a preassessment on the political situation of Sialkot city for the General Elections 2018. Past statistical profile reveals the prolonged domination of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) throughout the series of past few elections, but the momentous development of Pakistan Tahreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) is considered to be defaming the former. Facts and figures of political ground of Sialkot have been collected and systematically organized by use of valid Statistical approaches of higher confidence level.

The rebel group was led by Barrister Sultan Mehmood, a former prime minister of AJK and a leading contender for the post after the 2011 elections in AJK. He lost the opportunity to Abdul Majeed then. With PML-N taking over the government in Islamabad, the faction led by Sultan Mehmood saw it as an opportune moment to topple the AJK government and seize power with the help of the PML-N members in AJK assembly.

People’s Republic of China (PRC) officials, military officers, and civilian analysts use the strategic strongpoint concept to describe certain strategically valuable foreign ports with terminals and commercial zones owned and operated by Chinese firms.1 Each case study analyzes a different port on the Indian Ocean, selected to capture geographic, commercial, and strategic variation.2 Each employs the same analytic method, drawing on Chinese official sources, scholarship, and industry reporting to present a descriptive account of the port, its transport infrastructure, the markets and resources it accesses, and its naval and military utility.

  • Media Discourses of Pakistan Government Officials on Panama Leaks: a Critical Analysis
    Department of English, University of Gujrat Media Discourses of Pakistan Government Officials on Panama Leaks: A Critical Analysis Naveed Akram Abstract The present paper attempts to focus media discourses of Pakistani Government Officials in the backdrop of PANAMA LEAKS scandal. PANAMA PAPERS, usually called Panama Leaks, are about 11.5 million leaked documents about the economic corruption of the most influential statesmen, politicians and business tycoons of the world. According to PANAMA PAPERS (April 2016), Pakistani Ex. Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and his family members have also been reported guilty of having off- shore companies and illegal sources of income. The representatives of the government come forward and try to defend Prime Minister and his family members through their political rhetoric. They do not answer the allegations put against them but accuse their opponents of ‘derailing democracy’ and creating hurdles in the path of the progress of the country. The research questions of the study are: why and how do Government officials try to win the sympathies of the common people on the issue of PANAMA LEAKS through their political rhetoric on electronic media, and how does ‘social pressure’ lead the political leaders to defend themselves and their political ideologies? The study attempts to focus the media discourses of only four Government officials on PANAMA LEAKS after the ruling of the Supreme Court to make Joint Investigation Team (JIT) on 20th April 2017. The research is carried out under a grand theory of Critical Discourse Analysis.
