  • 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.
