  • Revival of Democracy in Pakistan 1988-1999: an Analysis
    Pakistan Journal of Social Sciences (PJSS) Vol. 35, No. 1 (2015), pp. 201-212 Revival of Democracy in Pakistan 1988-1999: An Analysis Khan Faqir, PhD Lecturer in Pakistan studies, University of Science and Technology Bannu, KPK, Pakistan. [email protected] Fakhrul Islam, PhD Director Pakistan Study Centre, University of Peshawar Pakistan Shahid Hassan Rizvi, PhD Chairman Department of History, Islamai University Bahawalpur, Pakistan Abstract The demise of Zia was the beginning of a new era and the dawn of democracy after a long interval. The partial democracy established in during Zia regime was a paradox. It suppressed rather than solving problems thus maintaining a status quo. The decade long authoritarian rule had damaged the fabric of the democracy. A new democratic era 1988-99 started with a hope that it will bring prosperity to the people and will strengthen democratic machinery but was not up to the mark of people. With the fast changing governments, corruption, unstable political parties and high presidential powers of the president democracy does not flourish its roots. During the era 1988-1999 the army played the role of a silent spectator. They got benefit of the weaknesses of successive governments and ultimately appeared on the sky of democratic set up in the shape of a bloodless coup in 1999. This paper is an attempt to highlight the performance of democratic rule, its problems and prospects and causes of its failure. Keywords: Democracy, Pakistan, Benazir Bhutto, Nawaz Sharif. I. Introduction General Zia’s sudden death in plane crash on 17 August 1988 changed the picture of the political scene.

  • Budget Speech by Syed Qaim Ali Shah Jillani Chief Minister Sindh on 11Th June 2010
    BUDGET SPEECH BY SYED QAIM ALI SHAH JILLANI CHIEF MINISTER SINDH ON 11TH JUNE 2010 Budget Speech 2010-2011 Bismillah- e- Rehman-er-Raheem Mr. Speaker It is indeed an honor for me to present the 3rd Budget of the Pakistan Peoples’ Party led coalition Government in Sindh. I am thankful to Almightly Allah for his blessings and for this opportunity to serve the people of Sindh. Earlier in mid- April, I placed the Government’s Performance Report before this August House for informing the people about the major programs and activities which have been started to provide relief to the people; to trigger growth in different sectors and to strengthen the human development efforts. The Pakistan Peoples’ Party led Government at the centre and here in Sindh has faced one challenge after another in the last two years but we have remained steadfast in our resolve to strengthen the democratic institutions in the country. Today, the parliament, the judiciary, as well as the media are fully independent and the levels of check and balance of one institution over the other, have increased and strengthened to a great extent. The policy of reconciliation initiated by Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto effectively followed by our Co-Chairman and the President of Pakistan has paid off huge dividends. At our level it has helped to create greater understanding with MQM under the leadership of Mr. Altaf Hussain, PML (Functional) under the leadership of Pir Sahib Pagaro, ANP under the leadership of Mr. Asfand Yar Wali Khan, NPP under the leadership of Ghulam Murtaza Khan Jatoi and PML(Q).

  • The Empowered Women of Rural Sindh
    Note for Record By: Shoaib Sultan Khan January 12, 2018 Subject: - The Empowered Women of Rural Sindh In 2009 when Chief Minister of the province Sindh Syed Qaim Ali Shah approved launching of Union Council Based Poverty Reduction Programme (UCBPRP) for the two poorest districts of Sindh, because of my experience in India of mobilising over 10 million rural women in State of Andhra Pradesh through UNDP and World Bank assistance, I submitted to the Chief Minister that UCBPRP will only work with women. He smiled and observed you may try. The women of Kashmore and Shikarpur responded so enthusiastically and positively that UCBPRP was picked up by European Union in 2015 giving funds to implement empowerment of women in another eight districts, in addition to four districts being funded by the provincial exchequer. This brought the rural women being empowered to over one million. As EU, while initially UCBPRP, renamed Sindh Union Council and Community Economic Strengthening Support Programme (SUCCESS), conveyed to the Provincial Government a message that EU was not a substitute to government and expect remaining districts to be taken up by the provincial government, in 2017 Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah made funds available to cover another six districts by UCBPRP. On January 8, 2018 the launch of the UCBPRP in six districts was organised by Sindh Rural Support Organisation (SRSO) at Sukkur, which was graced by Chairman Pakistan Peoples Party Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah, ex-Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah and a large number of other distinguished guests including Provincial Page 1 of 5 Ministers, Senators, MNAs, MPAs, Chairman Planning & Development Department, Commissioner Sukkur and provincial and local officials.
