The purpose of the Gazette is disseminating news about all the important events happening at the National Assembly of Pakistan and Parliaments elsewhere in the world. On the auspicious occasion of the forthcoming 137th birthday of Quaid-e- Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the November issue of the Gazette includes special messages from the Speaker and Deputy Speaker of National Assembly. It also includes an article on Quaid-e-Azam and a chronological biography of the founder of Pakistan. It is also satisfying that we have been able to improve the Gazette with every new issue. Several improvements are particularly visible. We have included “Around the Globe”, a new section for international news of the month. Especially the news about parliaments, elections, legislations and heads of state are focused in this section. Secondly, we have included “Perspective”, a new section for articles, essays and point of views of various people interested in the affairs of the parliament. This will help bringing in the perspective of different people on important issues. We would like to receive articles from our readers as well; especially Honorable members of National Assembly, Senators and Secretariat staff are highly appreciated to write for the Gazette. The readers are also encouraged to give us feedback about the Gazette. The suggestions for improvement can be sent at [email protected]. Enjoy the cold winter and have a happy reading. Thank You. Ch. Mukhtar Ahmed N o v e m b e r 2 0 1 3 1 Quaid-e-Azam Day Messages Speaker’s Message Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah was undoubtedly the greatest leader of the 20th century who led the Muslims of Sub-continent. Quaid-i-Azam was gifted with exceptional qualities of leadership, integrity, determination and an unconquerable will. He defied the mighty hostile forces that had joined hands to deprive the Muslims of the sub-continent of their political rights and liberties. Through his charismatic leadership and statesmanship, he led the Muslims of India to the great goal of independence from the British Rule and Congress dominance. He united an unorganized crowd into a nation under the flag of All India Muslim League. He showed the power of unity, faith and discipline throughout the Independence Movement. Quaid-e-Azam firmly believed in democracy and constitutionalism. Addressing All-India Muslim League session, Lucknow in 1916, he said,‖ There are no people in the world who are more democratic even in their religion than the Musalmans.‖ Even during the independence movement, he followed the constitutional and legal ways to win the freedom. He showed through elections, held in 1946, the All India Muslim League was the only representative party of the Muslims of India. Thus he practically showed us that the ‗will of the people‘ is most important for governing the country and achieving the milestones of prosperity. Quaid-e-Azam day also calls for creating unity for an enlightened, prosperous, moderate, welfare Islamic State in line with the Founding Father‘s vision. Today we once again need unity, faith and discipline as our guiding principles. The nation is faced with great challenges. In order to successfully cope with these, we need to work harder than ever, we need to be united as Pakistanis and think beyond our own personal interests. Quaid-e-Azam Zindabad, Pakistan Pa΄indabad. SARDAR AYAZ SADIQ Deputy Speaker’s Message On Quaid-e-Azam day, I want the nation to once again imbibe the message given by Quaid- e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah on first anniversary of Pakistan on 14 August, 1948. ―Nature has given you everything: you have got unlimited resources. The foundations of your State have been laid, and it is now for you to build, and build as quickly and as you can. So go ahead and I wish you God speed.‖ Today we need to rise again as a nation, capitalizing on our own resources to make Pakistan economically strong and independent. For achieving this goal we have to take inspiration from our history and the long and constant struggle of Quaid-e-Azam for Pakistan. The cherished dream of the Muslims for a separate homeland was realised by acting upon Jinnah‘s motto. This motto was Faith, Unity and Discipline. We should follow the path determined by the Quaid-e-Azam as this leads to our betterment as well as the development of the country. The father of the nation believed that supremacy of law was the peaceful way for the realization of justice. Quaid had always stressed the need of unity, cohesion and promotion of the spirit of brotherhood. On this auspicious day, we should pledge and resolve to work whole-heartedly and dedicatedly to build a strong and prosperous Pakistan. Patriotism, dedicated work and selfless service for the great glory of Pakistan could be the most befitting tribute to Quaid-e-Azam. MURTAZA JAVED ABBASI Deputy Speaker National Assembly of Pakistan N o v e m b e r 2 0 1 3 2 Quaid’s Guidance & Inspiration for Governance and Economy Aimun Khawaja Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah had a clear vision of modern notions of state, constitution, civil and political rights and democracy for Pakistan. He assured that constitution of Pakistan would be framed by the elected assembly. He envisaged a free, progressive, humane and modern Pakistan ruled by justice irrespective of religion, colour or caste where everybody would be equal before law. Immediately after the creation of Pakistan, there was bigger task standing in front of him. It was to build this new country. Jinnah knew well that the areas which were to form Pakistan had no industrial base and were economically backward. Therefore, as early as December 1943, he had a comprehensive five-year Program drawn up for the economic and social uplift of the proposed Muslim State. He rightly regarded industrial and economic development as a prerequisite for preserving the national freedom and dignity. Quaid stressed and worked to establish a viable industrial base in Pakistan. During the days of struggle, when Quaid-e-Azam was so pre-occupied with the political problem on numerous occasions he advised the Muslims to take to commerce, industry, technical education if they had a wish to prosper. A British Journalist Beverley Nichols interviewed Quaid-e-Azam in December, 1943, the first question he asked after hearing an exposition of the concept of Pakistan was, about the economic aspect of Pakistan ―Are the Muslims likely to be richer or poorer under in Pakistan?‖ Quaid- e-Azam said, “The Muslims are tough people, lean and hardy. If Pakistan means that they will have to be a tougher, and for which they will not complain. But why should it mean that? What conceivable reason is there to suppose that the gift of nationality is going to be an economic liability? Quaid had a vision of a strong Pakistan being self-sufficient in its needs having a strong economy in order to become part of modern developed nations of the world. To achieve this goal, Quaid consulted Muslim experts in economy as well as hired the services of foreign experts also. At Quaid‘s behest, Mohammad Ali Habib, a leading banker, analyzed the rapid industrialization of Pakistan. He made a number of suggestions for the printing as well as fiduciary (fiduciary takes care of money for other persons) issue of Pakistan currency, division of the Reserve Bank of India‘s assets and liabilities, useful employment of refugees, etc. He further recommended that the government should borrow only for financing public enterprises which were productive, such as canals, railways, steal and cement plants etc. and in no case for meeting current account deficits. Encouraging private Enterprise, he stated: “I would like to call your particular attention to the keen desire of the Government of Pakistan to associate individual initiative and private enterprise at every stage of industrialization. The number of Industries Government have reserved for management by themselves consists of Arms and Munitions of War, generation of Hydel power and manufacture of Railway wagons, Telephone, Telegraph and wireless apparatus. All other industrial activity is left open to private Enterprise which would be given every facility Government can give for the establishment and development of industry.” Quaid-i-Azam did not wish to have a western type of economic system. He said, ‗Our planning committee chalks out an economic system; it will be based upon the teachings of Quran‟. His vision for economy was as follows: “The adoption of western economic theory and practice will not help us in achieving our goal of creating a happy and contented people. We must work our destiny in our own way and present to the world an economic system based on true Islamic concept of equality of manhood and social Justice. We will thereby by fulfilling our mission as Muslims and giving to humanity the message of peace which alone can save it and secure the welfare, happiness and prosperity of mankind”.

    Italy and the Sanusiyya: Negotiating Authority in Colonial Libya, 1911-1931 Eileen Ryan Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 ©2012 Eileen Ryan All rights reserved ABSTRACT Italy and the Sanusiyya: Negotiating Authority in Colonial Libya, 1911-1931 By Eileen Ryan In the first decade of their occupation of the former Ottoman territories of Tripolitania and Cyrenaica in current-day Libya, the Italian colonial administration established a system of indirect rule in the Cyrenaican town of Ajedabiya under the leadership of Idris al-Sanusi, a leading member of the Sufi order of the Sanusiyya and later the first monarch of the independent Kingdom of Libya after the Second World War. Post-colonial historiography of modern Libya depicted the Sanusiyya as nationalist leaders of an anti-colonial rebellion as a source of legitimacy for the Sanusi monarchy. Since Qaddafi’s revolutionary coup in 1969, the Sanusiyya all but disappeared from Libyan historiography as a generation of scholars, eager to fill in the gaps left by the previous myopic focus on Sanusi elites, looked for alternative narratives of resistance to the Italian occupation and alternative origins for the Libyan nation in its colonial and pre-colonial past. Their work contributed to a wider variety of perspectives in our understanding of Libya’s modern history, but the persistent focus on histories of resistance to the Italian occupation has missed an opportunity to explore the ways in which the Italian colonial framework shaped the development of a religious and political authority in Cyrenaica with lasting implications for the Libyan nation.

INDYK: Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to Brookings. I'm Martin Indyk, the Director of the Foreign Policy Program at Brookings, and we're delighted to have you here for a special event hosted by Center on the U.S. and Europe at Brookings. In an historic referendum set for autumn of next year, the people of Scotland will vote to determine if Scotland should become an independent country. And that decision will carry with it potentially far-reaching economic, legal, political, and security consequences for the United Kingdom. Needless to say, the debate about Scottish independence will be watched closely in Washington as well. And so we are delighted to have the opportunity to host the Right Honorable Alex Salmond, the first Minister of Scotland, to speak about the Scottish independence. He has been First Minister since 2007. Before that, he has had a distinguished parliamentary career. He was elected member of the UK parliament in 1987, served there until 2010.

    Rt. Hon. Michael Gove MP Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Cabinet Office 70 Whitehall London SW1A 2AS Mike Russell MSP, Cabinet Secretary for the Constitution, Europe and External Affairs Jeremy Miles MS, Counsel General and Minister for European Transition Jenny Gilruth MSP, Minister for Europe and International Development 14 June 2020 Dear Mike, Jeremy and Jenny, I have appreciated the close contact between our administrations as we prepare for the opportunities presented by life outside the EU's Single Market and Customs Union. While we have different views on the way forward, I am always grateful for your thoughtful and considered contributions. That is why I was disappointed to read your statement on Friday, including the decision by Scottish and Welsh Government ministers not to join a briefing call with the Paymaster General following Friday’s UK-EU Withdrawal Agreement Joint Committee and ahead of Monday’s High Level Meeting with the Presidents of EU institutions. I was glad that the call could go ahead with the First Minister of Northern Ireland nonetheless, and that officials from the Northern Ireland Executive, Scottish and Welsh Governments were in attendance. In your statement you claimed that “we cannot accept a way of working in which the views of the devolved governments are simply dismissed before we have had a chance to discuss them”. This is inaccurate. The UK Government respects and understands the fact that the SNP and the Labour Party in Wales supported extending the transition period with the EU, and has repeatedly discussed this in both public and private meetings with ministers from the Scottish and Welsh Governments.

  • Anticolonialism, Nationalism, and State Formation: the Rise of Pakistan
    ANTICOLONIALISM, NATIONALISM, AND STATE FORMATION: THE RISE OF PAKISTAN KASIM ALI TIRMIZEY A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA September 2018 © Kasim Ali Tirmizey, 2018 Abstract There is ongoing popular and scholarly debate about the rise of Pakistan as a nation-state. Much of this literature frames the emergence either in cultural terms as a territorial expression of transhistorical Muslim nationhood, or in a liberal framing as the outcome of the political mobilization of the Muslim community against Hindu domination. This dissertation makes a corrective by examining the constitutive role of radical anticolonialism in the rise of Pakistan, with a focus on the province of Punjab in British India from 1880 to 1947. I argue that the formation of the Pakistani nation-state entailed the condensation of multiple political struggles over rescaling empire. Muslim nationalism reified struggles over land, food, women’s bodies, and access to the colonial state as ethnic struggles between Muslims and Hindus, thus codifying class, caste and religion in essentialist terms. Despite popular energies of agrarian classes against Hindu Bania (moneylender caste) were redirected into radical anticolonialism by the Ghadar Party in the 1910s, the demand for Pakistan subsequently shifted the scale of anti-Bania antagonisms among agrarian classes onto claims for a Muslim national space. The materialization of a Muslim national space (Pakistan) and Hindu national space (India) cannot be understood in the absence of the repression of radical anticolonial movements such as the Ghadar Party, the Kirti Kisan Party, and communist organizing.
