  • Biradari Politics of Alliances and Opposition in Jhang District During the Military Regimes: a Case Study of General Pervez Musharraf’S Rule
    Journal of the Research Society of Pakistan Volume No. 56, Issue No. 2 (July – December, 2019) Syed Munawar Abbas * Razia Sultana ** Biradari Politics of Alliances and Opposition in Jhang District during the Military Regimes: A case Study of General Pervez Musharraf’s Rule Abstract Biradarism is also fundamental characteristic of socio-politics of district Jhang [Pakistani-Punjab]; its dominant biradaris have immense potential to decisively influence national, provincial and district levels politics [on behalf of their eco- social supremacy]. The formation of electoral alliances is based on the collaborative interest-based national and local [biradari] power politics. Number of alliances were locally constituted by national aristocracy [especially by dictators]. Locally-constituted-alliances under different dictators had further strengthened the exploitative grip of these biradaris. The most decisive alliances [and their respective oppositions] were formulated during different elections of Musharraf’s regime; in which Syeds collaborated with Lalis and Qazis; Sials with Syeds and Moulvis [Religious groups]; and Sahibzaadaaz with Cheela-Sials. Biradaris [clans/castes] have been remained the integral part of mainstream politics in Sub-continent, particularly in western Punjab [Pakistani] and most importantly in its sub-units like Jhang district. After the creation of Pakistan, their dominant eco-social roles have become more vibrant in all respects, especially in politics. Every biradari has different levels of importance due to its numbers, economic resources, political affiliations, land holdings and social networking.1 These are the basic factors, which lead the biradaris to hold power at local level [Biradarism] as well as at provincial and national levels. Biradaris are embodiment of power in Pakistani politics.

  • Imports-Exports Enterprise’: Understanding the Nature of the A.Q
    Not a ‘Wal-Mart’, but an ‘Imports-Exports Enterprise’: Understanding the Nature of the A.Q. Khan Network Strategic Insights , Volume VI, Issue 5 (August 2007) by Bruno Tertrais Strategic Insights is a bi-monthly electronic journal produced by the Center for Contemporary Conflict at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California. The views expressed here are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily represent the views of NPS, the Department of Defense, or the U.S. Government. Introduction Much has been written about the A.Q. Khan network since the Libyan “coming out” of December 2003. However, most analysts have focused on the exports made by Pakistan without attempting to relate them to Pakistani imports. To understand the very nature of the network, it is necessary to go back to its “roots,” that is, the beginnings of the Pakistani nuclear program in the early 1970s, and then to the transformation of the network during the early 1980s. Only then does it appear clearly that the comparison to a “Wal-Mart” (the famous expression used by IAEA Director General Mohammed El-Baradei) is not an appropriate description. The Khan network was in fact a privatized subsidiary of a larger, State-based network originally dedicated to the Pakistani nuclear program. It would be much better characterized as an “imports-exports enterprise.” I. Creating the Network: Pakistani Nuclear Imports Pakistan originally developed its nuclear complex out in the open, through major State-approved contracts. Reprocessing technology was sought even before the launching of the military program: in 1971, an experimental facility was sold by British Nuclear Fuels Ltd (BNFL) in 1971.

  • En En Draft Report
    EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT 2014 - 2019 Delegation for relations with South Asia DRAFT REPORT on the 10th EP/Pakistan Interparliamentary Meeting (Islamabad & Lahore) 16 / 20 February 2015 by Ms. Jean Lambert, Chair of the Delegation ------------ 05/03/2015 PK/am 1/18 EN EN Introduction The last time the EP South Asia Delegation also led by Ms Jean Lambert MEP, visited Pakistan, was in late 2012; the country was already in pre-electoral mood, 6 months before the elections that saw the victory of the PML-N. This was the first democratic transition from one elected civilian government to another in Pakistan’s modern history – and recognised as such by the EU, which fielded an EOM led by Chief Observer Michael Gahler MEP; Richard Howitt MEP had led, at the time, the EP Delegation which was part of the overall observation team. The 2012 talks had focused on the steps taken by Islamabad in rule of law and good governance issues, which had helped the country successfully apply for the EU’s special incentive arrangement for sustainable development and good governance – or, more colloquially, the GSP+ scheme, in effect since 1.1.2014. This arrangement, which was examined by the EP Plenary in December 2013, entails enhanced trade preferences, i.e. the full removal of tariffs on essentially the same products as those covered by GSP. MEPs had thus welcomed the ratification of all the major human rights conventions directly linked to the scheme, as well as the lifting of a series of reservations on many of those, such as the ICCPR or the CAT.
