  • Politics of Combined Opposition Parties (Cop) During Ayub Khan Era (1958-1969)
    Journal of the Punjab University Historical Society Volume No. 31, Issue No. 1, January - June 2018 Akhtar Hussain * Politics of Combined Opposition Parties (Cop) During Ayub Khan Era (1958-1969) Abstract This Paper is about the Combined Opposition Parties, an electoral alliance which challenged Ayub Khan in the 1965 Presidential election. The alliance not only challenged but it gave a tough time through its effective mass mobilisation both in the urban and rural areas to one of the strongest military ruler in Pakistan. The alliance played a vital role in initiating critical debate and discussion in place of dead conformism, in rekindling and refurbishing the enfeebled and dying flame of democracy in Pakistan and thus setting the nation a new towards a democratic destiny. Furthermore this alliance made a female as its candidate for Presidentship which is a debatable issue among the orthodox Muslim scholars and religio-political parties of the country. The paper focuses on the political background, formation, strategies and politics of COP to get rid of the military ruler. The paper is mainly descriptive in approach yet partial analytical approach is also employed. Both primary and secondary sources of information are used in this article. Key Words: Democracy, Alliance politics, Military rule, Opposition politics, Political parties, Election. Introduction: Ayub Khan came into power after imposition of martial law in the country in October 1958. 1 He assured the nation about lifting of martial law with the fulfilment of its objectives i.e. removal of all the political, social, economic and administrative confusions that prevailed in the country.2 He banned all the Political parties, their offices were sealed and their capital was confiscated as according to him, “…the politicians had ruined the country through their corrupt practices”.3 In the first couple of years, he paid attention towards administration of the country and strengthening his rule.

  • Economic Reforms Under the Bhutto Regime*
    Journal of Asian and African Studies VIII, 3-4 Economic Reforms under the Bhutto Regime* W. ERIC GUSTAFSON University of California, Davis, U.S.A. THERE IS AN Urdu couplet which, in free translation, runs, "The elephant has two sets of teeth, one for eating and one for show." Ripping this couplet rudely out of context - if it had one - I would like to pose the question of the extent to which the economic reforms of the Bhutto regime are for show, and the extent to which they get down to real business. It seems to me that there are some of each, but there is also the melancholy prospect that none of them will work, and we will be left only with the show. Cynicism about Pakis­ tan has become one of Pakistan's most prominent exports, and I hope that I will not add unduly to the supply. I In the first burst of reform moves, clearly the "show" motivation was dominant. After an election campaign which made much of the evildoing of Pakistan's twenty-two families, it was only natural that on his second day in office, Bhutto should attack. He seized the passports belonging to the twenty­ two richest families and their relatives and dependents, and sealed the borders of the country to all but religious pilgrims to prevent the flight of capital from Pakistan. This act was showing the tusks; it seems hard to imagine that the Government thought it could in fact accomplish much in the way of stemming the flight of capital by prohibiting exit.

  • NUCLEARIZATION of PAKISTAN MOTIVATIONS and INTENTIONS the Indian Nuclear Tests in 1998 Irreversibly Changed South Asia
    NUCLEARIZATION OF PAKISTAN MOTIVATIONS AND INTENTIONS The Indian nuclear tests in 1998 irreversibly changed South Asia. Pakistan responded in kind on 28 May 1998. It is now a part of the world where nuclear annihilation shall always be just around the corner. Generations in both Pakistan and India will agonize over why and how it all happened. It was a move calculated to demonstrate nuclear parity with India in which Pakistan carried out five nuclear explosions. The immediate international response to India's nuclear tests, led by the United States, was to impose sweeping sanctions on India, and to warn Pakistan that similar sanctions would be imposed if Pakistan decided to conduct its own tests. But despite warnings of severe sanctions and aid cut off threats by the International community, Pakistan decided to detonate its nuclear devices. At the time of detonation Pakistan realized that the nuclear sanctions and the threat of isolation from the international community would prove detrimental to her more than it would affect India. Despite this knowledge that Pakistan is a weak economic power and the threats to aid cut off would prove disastrous, these conditions did not deter Pakistan to detonate. Decades of economic mismanagement and mounting debt obligations had made the Pakistani state heavily dependent on multilateral lending and grants to meet its budgetary needs. The U.S. initiated multilateral sanctions and brought the Pakistani economy to the brink of a collapse, threatening an internal and external default. Pakistan’s decision to detonate gives rise to various questions. Given Pakistani knowledge of the economic and diplomatic pain it was willing to accept, it is important to understand why this decision to follow in India’s nuclear footsteps was taken.

The Council requested me to report urgently on the implementation of those steps by the two countries, while welcoming my own efforts to encourage them to enter into a dialogue. Ever since India's 11 May tests, I have been in frequent contact with representatives of the Governments of India and Pakistan at the highest levels, as well as through other channels, including their Permanent Representatives to the United Nations, by letter, telephone and personally. In these contacts, I have expressed my acute concern at the. alarming consequences of these tests and have urged both Governments to enter into a dialogue in order to reduce the increased tensions in the region. I have also appealed to both Governments to adhere, without conditions and without delay, to the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty and to consider freezing their nuclear weapons and missile development programmes. Furthermore, I have advised India and Pakistan of my readiness to support any efforts conducive to successful negotiations on nuclear non-proliferation and nuclear disarmament.

  • Pakistan's Relations with the United States During Ayub Khan's Period
    Pakistaniaat: A Journal of Pakistan Studies Vol. 3, No. 1 (2011) Pakistan’s Relations with the United States During Ayub Khan’s Period By Muhammad Iqbal and Samia Khalid Pakistan-United States Relations: General Muhammad Ayub Khan after taking over the government in a bloodless coup, 1958 made an announcement regarding the foreign policy of Pakistan and mentioned that we are “the most allied ally”1 of the United States. This shows that during this era Pakistan became more pro-west. Ayub Khan believed that Pakistan could not make progress unless the Kashmir problem was solved, which was not possible without the help of the Western Bloc. That’s why Ayub Khan depended on Western Bloc, especially United States. At that time Pakistan was facing two major problems: the unresolved Kashmir issue and the perceived Security threat from neighbor country, India. On the other side the United States aims were to help Pakistan and to maintain her independence in an area threatened by communism.2 On 5th March, 1959 Pakistan and the United States signed the bilateral agreement of Defense for bilateral cooperation. According to this agreement, Unit- ed States agreed to cooperate with Pakistan to deal with its security threats and its defense requirements. At the same time the Government of the United States was promoting its national interest by maintaining the peace in South Asia and especial- ly by the preservation of the independence and integrity of Pakistan. Pakistan reaf- firmed its determination to resist the aggression, when United States promised
