  • January 2016 NEWS COVERAGE PERIOD JANUARY 25TH to JANUARY 31ST, 2016 PROTESTERS DEMAND PROPER SHARE for GB in CPEC Dawn, January 25Th, 2016
    January 2016 NEWS COVERAGE PERIOD JANUARY 25TH TO JANUARY 31ST, 2016 PROTESTERS DEMAND PROPER SHARE FOR GB IN CPEC Dawn, January 25th, 2016 ISLAMABAD: A large number of people belonging to Gilgit-Baltistan, including members of the area’s legislative assembly, on Sunday held a protest demonstration in front of National Press Club demanding proper share in China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). They also demanded that GB should be declared the fifth province of Pakistan so that the people of the backward area could get their basic rights. The protest was organised by the Youth of Gilgit-Baltistan, a non-political platform representing the youth of the area. Speaking on the occasion, member of the legislative assembly, Kacho Imtiaz, said people of GB could not get their basic rights even after 68 years. “We had passed a resolution in the legislative assembly that there should be three hubs of CPEC in GB but only one station is being given to us for loading and unloading of goods. Moreover, no industrial zone is being set up in GB,” he complained. Another MLA, Haji Rizwan, said basic rights should be ensured for the people of GB. “Moreover, the government of PML-N should implement the National Action Plan (NAP) in its letter and spirit and take action against terrorists instead of using the law for its own benefits,” he said. The protesters also demanded that Gilgit-Baltistan should get representation in the National Assembly, Senate and the National Finance Commission. Talking to Dawn, chairman of the GB Youth’s coordination committee, Hasnain Kazmi, said the government should give basic rights to the people of GB.

  • Political Attitudes in Lahore and the 2018 Elections April 2017
    Political Attitudes in Lahore and the 2018 Elections April 2017 This brief was written by Ali Cheema (Lahore University of Management Sciences and Institute of Development and Economic Alternatives) and Asad Liaqat (Harvard University). The IDEAS team that worked on the survey, analysis, writing and associated tasks included Ahsan Tariq, Sherazam Tiwana, Hamid Tiwana, Muhammad Malik, Haseeb Sher Bajwa and Amenah Hasan. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This brief presents results from a political attitudes survey in three national assembly constituencies in Lahore, including the tightly contested NA 122, and its neighbors NA 121 and NA 124 where PML-N won by a substantial margin in 2013. It is important to note that the results cannot be generalized to all Lahore, Punjab or Pakistan. Issues that matter for 2018 elections: Voters are concerned most about economic issues such as purchasing power and unemployment (Figure 1). Corruption is an important issue for a sizeable minority but anti-corruption campaigns that do not tackle economic issues are unlikely to resonate. Several public services including education, health, water, electricity and security matter for voters, but improvement in no one service is likely to swing the election. There is cautious optimism among voters regarding their own financial condition (Figure 2). They are also giving measured praise to PML-N for its performance in tackling their issues (Figure 3). Honesty and Development: While voters are polarized on the question of Nawaz and Shahbaz Sharif’s honesty (Figure 4), a big majority thinks they are capable of taking Pakistan into the league of developed nations (Figure 5). An overwhelming majority rejects that Imran Khan is dishonest (Figure 4), but at this stage of Election 2018, and in these three constituencies, he is seen less favourably as the leader to take Pakistan into the league of developed nations (Figure 5).

Jan DEDICATION Dedicated to my beautiful mother Yasmin Jan and the beloved memory of my father Brian Habib Ahmed Jan ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS There are many people to whom I owe my deepest gratitude for bringing me to this stage and for shaping the world of possibilities. Ones access to a space of thought is possible only because of the examples and paths laid by the other. I must begin by thanking my dissertation committee: my co-chairs Juan Cole and Nicholas Dirks, for their intellectual leadership, scholarly example and incredible patience and faith. Nick’s seminar on South Asia and his formative role in Culture/History/Power (CSST) program at the University of Michigan were vital in setting the critical and interdisciplinary tone of this project. Juan’s masterful and prolific knowledge of West Asian histories, languages and cultures made him the perfect mentor. I deeply appreciate the intellectual freedom and encouragement they have consistently bestowed over the years. Alexander Knysh for his inspiring work on Ibn ‘Arabi, and for facilitating several early opportunity for teaching my own courses in Islamic Studies. And of course my deepest thanks to Barbara Metcalf for unknowingly inspiring this project, for her crucial and sympathetic work on the Deoband ‘Ulama and for her generous insights and critique.
