The committee in the meetings discussed and examined issues relating to roles, functions and responsibilities of Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The sole purpose of the Foreign Affairs Committee is to serve the best interests of the country. The prestigious committee always prefers to focus on matters that are pertinent to the interest of the nation. Pakistan is situated in an extremely volatile region of the world. It is in our best interest to manage cooperative relations not only with our neighbours but also with other states on the basis of equality and self-respect. It is also made sure that core interests of the country were never compromised at any cost and should remain top priority of the institutions responsible. Pakistan being a responsible Nuclear Power and member of the international society makes sure that the foreign policy is enshrined on the principles that were laid by the founding father of the country. The country is riding a tide of troubles therefore the need of the hour is that the foreign policy and the domestic policy should be coherent and consistent to cope with the challenges.

  • PAKISTAN FOREIGN POLICY FORMULATION, 1947-65: An
    PAKISTAN FOREIGN POLICY FORMULATION, 1947-65: An analysis of institutional interaction between American policy making bodies and the Pakistan Army. By Syed Hussain Shaheed Soherwordi Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of History and Classics University of Edinburgh Year of submission: 2009 This thesis is dedicated to my Parents- my Papa Syed Maqsood Ali Pirzada and my lovely Ammi (late) Hasnain Khatoon. Both of them always wanted to see me at the zenith of my education. Their aspiration remained a confidence boost for my academic achievements. ii Abstract This thesis examines through the use of archives and oral evidence the role of the Pakistan Army in the context of Pakistan’s domestic politics and foreign policy. Its main purpose is to explore the autonomy of the Pakistan Army in shaping national and foreign policy between the years 1947-1965. Focusing on its independent relationship with three instruments of policy-making in the United States – the Department of State, the White House and the Pentagon – the thesis argues that the relationship between the Army and these policy-making bodies arose from a synergistic commonality of interests. The Americans needed a country on the periphery of the Soviet Union to contain Communism while the Pakistan Army needed US military support to check Indian regional military hegemonism in South Asia. This alliance was secured to the disadvantage of democratic political institutions of Pakistan. The Army, which became stronger as a result of US military and economic support, came progressively to dominate domestic politics. This led not only to weakened civilian governments in the period I am examining, but in 1958 to the military seizure of political control of the country itself.

  • Post 9/11 Balochistan in Peace - Conflict Spectrum and International Dimensions
    Post 9/11 Balochistan in Peace - Conflict Spectrum and International Dimensions Dr. Musarrat Jabeen∗ Abstract Balochistan’s prospects for peace and stability rely on both internal and external factors, none of which seem to be under control. Balochistan with heavy mineral potential is the largest (43% of Pakistan) province of Pakistan bordering Afghanistan and Iran. Balochistan mingles the confluence of Central Asia, South Asia and Middle East. It has 770km coastline; as the hub of all geo-economic activities particularly in the region highlights its vitality in international system, any jeopardy in the province would not only affect Pakistan but also the international system. The significance of this study stems from corroborated features of conflict within and around Balochistan. The two propositions of conflict hoisted in Afghanistan one by Russian invasion in 1979 and the other after US led coalition attack on Afghanistan in 2001 has vividly envisaged conflict trends in and around Balochistan. The specific argument of the study is that; external factors permeate internal rebellions. System wide valuation of Balochistan and international dimensions of conflict leads to propose 3-D Strategy to manage Balochistan conflict. 3-D strategy includes: Building Local Component for Development, Building Center Province Harmony, Management of Regional-International Relations vis-à-vis Balochistan Conflict. Key words: Conflict; International Dimensions "Only the dead has seen the end of conflict." George Bush, U.S. President, 1992 Balochistan’s prospects for peace and stability rely on both internal and external factors, none of which seem to be under control. Balochistan with heavy mineral potential is the largest (43% of Pakistan) province of Pakistan bordering Afghanistan and Iran.

SYED PERVAIZ ABBAS Additional Secretary/Secretary Committee CONTENTS Description Page * Preface……………………………………………… * Executive Summary……………………………….. * Highlights for the Year……………………………. * Composition of the Committee ………………… * Profile of the Committee * Pictorial View ……………………………………… * Minutes of the Meetings...................................... 2 PREFACE I am immensely pleased to present the Report of the Senate Standing Committee on Kashmir affairs and Gilgit Baltistan for the period from 9th January to 13th January, 2015. During this period the committee held seven meetings to oversee the working mechanism, performance and future plans of the Ministry of Kashmir Affairs and Gilgit Baltistan and its attached departments. I feel pride in stating that the committee had the honour to work on a vast, enriched and diverse ambit of Kashmir affairs and Gilgit Baltistan Province. Where this broad spectrum is challenging, it also provides numerous opportunities for the committee to learn and to scrutinize technical issues as well as purely legal matters pertaining to the Ministry of Kashmir affairs and Gilgit Baltistan. I appreciate my fellow members of the Committee for their active participation and contributions, which helped me to perform this role as the Chairperson effectively. I attribute the achievements accomplished by the Committee to them, because without their diligence and cooperation, it would not have been possible. I also wish to place on record the sincere and dedicated efforts of the government officials of relevant Ministries/Divisions. I am highly impressed by the strong operational performance of the Defence Production units of Pakistan.

  • Parliamentarians Tax Directory
    PARLIAMENTARIANS TAX DIRECTORY FOR YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 (Published on 22nd February 2019) FOREWORD Every country levies taxes to raise revenues which are essential for the running of affairs of a state and provision of public services. Development of a progressive taxation system is an essential tool to reduce social inequalities in a society and bridge the gap between the rich and the poor. The countries exhibiting due diligence in collection of taxes from the affluent segments of the society through progressive taxation and expending them judiciously for the welfare of the poor are rated high on transparency and good governance index. Efficient, fair and sustainable tax systems are critical for institution building and promoting democracy and improved economic governance. The need for transparency and accountability in a vibrant democracy imposes extra responsibility on public representatives for disclosure of their assets and the sources of their income. With these aims and objectives, Federal Board of Revenue published, its first Tax Directory of Parliamentarians in tax year 2013. However, this time, in line with the incumbent government’s reform agenda, The Directory embodies the policy of transparency and accountability through access to information. The publication of the Parliamentarians’ Tax Directory is an integral step towards ensuring transparency and informing voters about the tax- paying status of their elected representatives. Tax Directory of the honourable Parliamentarians for the tax year 2017 is now published. The directory contains tax details of members of the Senate of Pakistan and Members of the National as well as Provincial Assemblies. I would like to appreciate the efforts of the Federal Board of Revenue for compiling and publishing this tax directory.

This year, the Nation commemorated „Pakistan Day‟ with great enthusiasm. The President of Pakistan, Prime Minister of Pakistan, Speaker National Assembly and Deputy Speaker National Assembly in their Pakistan Day messages reiterated their determination to make Pakistan a strong democratic nation.

  • Parliamentarians' Tax Directory
    PARLIAMENTARIANS’ TAX DIRECTORY FOR YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016 (Published on 27 July 2017) FOREWORD Public trust and accountability across the board are the hallmarks of any strong democracy. The actions of public representatives in any democracy serve as an example for its citizens. Similarly, tax compliance by Parliamentarians plays an important role in promoting a culture of tax compliance in any country. Studies have shown that citizens exhibit a higher motivation to pay taxes when their public representatives act as role models by being tax compliant. In order to fulfil its commitment to transparency and accountability, the government published a tax directory of Honorable Parliamentarians for the tax years 2013, 2014 and 2015. This step was widely welcomed and appreciated as a measure to introduce greater transparency and promote a culture of tax compliance in the country. In line with the tradition of the last three years, a similar effort has been made to publish a tax directory of the Honorable Parliamentarians for the tax year 2016. The directory contains tax details of members of the Senate of Pakistan and Members of the National and Provincial Assemblies. I would like to appreciate the efforts of the Federal Board of Revenue for compiling and publishing this tax directory.

This research work deals with the socio-political and constitutional developments in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and the role of Abdul Wali Khan during British Rãj. It also covers the political and constitutional developments in Pakistan and Abdul Wali Khan's role since 1947 until 1990.

KKs were in political alliance with the Indian National Congress (INC) since 1931 until 1947. Being a KK since his childhood, Abdul Wali Khan also joined INC formally in 1942.
