  • Biographies of Main Political Leaders of Pakistan
    Biographies of main political leaders of Pakistan INCUMBENT POLITICAL LEADERS ASIF ALI ZARDARI President of Pakistan since 2008 Asif Ali Zardari is the eleventh and current President of Pa- kistan. He is the Co-Chairman of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), a role he took on following the demise of his wife, Benazir Bhutto. Zardari rose to prominence in 1987 after his marriage to Benazir Bhutto, holding cabinet positions in both the 1990s PPP governments, and quickly acquired a reputation for corrupt practices. He was arrested in 1996 after the dismissal of the second government of Bena- zir Bhutto, and remained incarcerated for eight years on various charges of corruption. Released in 2004 amid ru- mours of reconciliation between Pervez Musharraf and the PPP, Zardari went into self-imposed exile in Dubai. He re- turned in December 2007 following Bhutto’s assassination. In 2008, as Co-Chairman of PPP he led his party to victory in the general elections. He was elected as President on September 6, 2008, following the resignation of Pervez Musharraf. His early years in power were characterised by widespread unrest due to his perceived reluctance to reinstate the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court (who had been dismissed during the Musharraf imposed emergency of 2007). However, he has also overseen the passage of the 18th Amendment to the Constitution which effectively www.presidentofpakistan.gov.pk reduced presidential powers to that of a ceremonial figure- Asif Ali Zardari, President head. He remains, however, a highly controversial figure and continues to be dogged by allegations of corruption. Mohmmad government as Minister of Housing and Public Works.

  • Secularization Without Secularism in Pakistan
    Research Questions / Questions de Recherche N°41 – September 2012 Secularization without Secularism in Pakistan Christophe Jaffrelot Centre d’études et de recherches internationales Sciences Po Research Questions / Questions de recherche – n°41 – September 2012 1 http://www.ceri-sciences-po.org/publica/qdr.htm Secularization without Secularism in Pakistan Summary Pakistan was created in 1947 by leaders of the Muslim minority of the British Raj in order to give them a separate state. Islam was defined by its founder, Jinnah, in the frame of his “two-nation theory,” as an identity marker (cultural and territorial). His ideology, therefore, contributed to an original form of secularization, a form that is not taken into account by Charles Taylor in his theory of secularization – that the present text intends to test and supplement. This trajectory of secularization went on a par with a certain form of secularism which, this time, complies with Taylor’s definition. As a result, the first two Constitutions of Pakistan did not define Islam as an official religion and recognized important rights to the minorities. However, Jinnah’s approach was not shared by the Ulema and the fundamentalist leaders, who were in favor of an islamization policy. The pressures they exerted on the political system made an impact in the 1970s, when Z.A. Bhutto was instrumentalizing Islam. Zia’s islamization policy made an even bigger impact on the education system, the judicial system and the fiscal system, at the expense of the minority rights. But Zia pursued a strategy of statization of Islam that had been initiated by Jinnah and Ayub Khan on behalf of different ideologies, which is one more illustration of the existence of an additional form of secularization that has been neglected by Taylor.

  • An Assessment of Political Leadership of Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy
    Journal of Political Studies, Vol. 24, Issue - 1, 2017, 315:331 National Integration of Pakistan: An Assessment of Political Leadership of Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy Rizwan Ullah Kokab and Mahboob Hussain Abstract Pakistan, during its first quarter, was in direct threat to disintegration. A Separatist Movement in eastern wing of Pakistan was in progress that ultimately ended with the bifurcation of Pakistan. There were very few leaders in Pakistan during the early phases of the secessionist movement who could foresee the danger to the integration of Pakistan and fewer of them had the capacity to appease that movement as well as belonged to the eastern wing. Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy was only one of the most prominent of such type. This paper is appraisal of his leadership capacities in curbing the disintegration of Pakistan. His awareness of the challenge of disintegration, his loyalty with the state of Pakistan, his position in the minds of Bengalis that could convince them to remain with Pakistan, his efforts for establishing the links between two wings, and obstacles in his way have been reviewed. It has also been examined how his rivals in politics wasted his utility for the integration of Pakistan. Keywords: Mahatma Gandhi, while addressing a Muslim gathering once said, “Jinnah, there is your statesman; Liaquat, there is your politician; Suhrawardy, there is your leader.” (Talukdar, 1987, pp. 71-72) Known for his controversial role in the Direct Action Day of August 16, 1946, he is considered as the first populist leader in Pakistan's history. Founder of Awami League, a cultivated and sensitive man with a cosmopolitan outlook and background Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy had an ironic wit.

  • The Assassination of the Prime Minister Liaquat Ali Khan: the Fateful Journey
    Generated by Foxit PDF Creator © Foxit Software http://www.foxitsoftware.com For evaluation only. The Assassination of the Prime Minister Liaquat Ali Khan: The Fateful Journey Syed Muhammad Zulqurnain Zaidi Abstract The assassination of Liaquat Ali Khan, the first Prime Minister of Pakistan, irreparably damaged the foundations of fragile democratic structure of the State of Pakistan. The Enquiry Commission on the assassination declared it as a conspiracy that involved a change of government. In order to unearth this conspiracy, we will have to explore and discover the hidden conspirators and cohorts. This article examines important eye- witnesses accounts and circumstantial evidences concerning the events of October 16, 1951. The study may lead us to some very concrete facts, thereby opening a new horizon of concealed truths and hidden treacheries wrapped in the womb of conspiracy. Before embarking on his fateful journey on the morning of October 16, 1951 Prime Minister Liaquat Ali Khan said to his wife that he was going to make the greatest speech of his life. “What it would be about?” Begam Liaquat Ali asked him. “It would be a policy-making speech”, replied the Premier.1 He was certainly going to give a surprise to the nation. Liaquat Ali Khan arrived at Rawalpindi Chaklala Air Base in Governor General’s Aircraft ‘Viking’ at 11:30 a.m. He was going to address a public meeting organized by Pakistan Muslim League, Rawalpindi. The Prime Minister arrived at around 4 p.m. in the Retired Professor, Federal Government College for Men, H-9, Islamabad. 1 The Daily Civil & Military Gazette (Lahore), October 17, 1951.

  • A Chronology
    A CHRONOLOGY 1906 30 Dec. The concluding day of the 20 th session of the All-India Mohammedan Educational Conference (AIMEC) in Dacca. After the Session was over, the delegates reassembled in the pandal to discuss the formation of a political organization of Muslims. On Nawab Salimullah Bahadur of Dacca’s proposal Nawab Viqarul-Mulk, Maulvi Mushtaq Hussain Bahadur, was elected chairman, and on Nawab Salimullah’s proposal, again, it was decided to form a political organization, called the All India Muslim League (AIML), with the following aims and objects: i). To promote among the Musalmans of India feelings of loyalty to the British Government and to remove any misconception that may arise as to the intention of government with regard to any of its measures; ii). To protect and advance the political rights and interests of the Musalmans of India and to respectfully represent their needs and aspirations; and iii). To protect among the Musalmans of India of any feeling of hostility towards other communities without prejudice to the other aforementioned objects of the League. A Provisional Committee was formed with Nawab Viqarul Mulk and Nawab Mohsinul Mulk as Joint Secretaries, to frame the Constitution of the AIML within four months. 2 All India Muslim League 1907 29-30 Dec .
