Pakistan Link Although the judges had not themselves taken oaths under the PCO, all the Chief Justices of the provincial courts readily agreed to administer oaths under that very PCO to the Governors. From the early days of Pakistan, the superior court judges have trimmed their sails in line with the wind of power and the dictates of the executive. It is not that Pakistan has not produced judges of impeccable scruples and of caliber high enough to fit slots in the World Court —Justice Cornelius and Justice Kayani to quote but two names. www.pakistanlink.com /hussaini/02-04-2000.html   (1839 words)

94041: Pakistan-U.S. Relations In April 1997, the Parliament passed the Thirteenth Amendment to the constitution, which deleted the President's former Eighth Amendment powers to dismiss the government and to appoint armed forces chiefs and provincial governors. Pakistan's counternarcotics efforts are hampered by a number of factors, including: lack of government commitment; scarcity of funds; poor infrastructure in drug-producing regions; government wariness of provoking unrest in tribal areas; and corruption among police, government officials, and local politicians. Pakistan's road to full democracy is still lined with many pitfalls, including wide- scale corruption, volatile mass-based politics, and continuing lack of symmetry between the development of the military and civilian bureaucracies and political institutions. www.fas.org /spp/starwars/crs/crs94041.htm   (8028 words)

Pakistan News PakTribune.Com That ruler recognized the advantage to his country of this accession of wealth and industry, and made the Spanish fugitives welcome, issuing orders to his provincial governors to receive them hospitably. In Germany 70 years ago, a generation of young men were indoctrinated to believe that none of Germany's problems were her own fault and that other people were to blame. It never ceases to amaze me that Westerners in general and Americans are targeted as the cause of all of the woes of the Muslim world, and are then made targets for murder by cowards who make war on women and children. paktribune.com /speakout/index.php?id=37&PHPSESSID=eed4739ffd5e091b020063d74ea37b80   (17221 words)

Notwithstanding his pretence of being a liberal leader, Pakistan's main liberal political parties remain opposed to him. politicalpakistan.blogspot.com   (12644 words)

Winds of Change.NET: Democracy in Pakistan: The Way Forward (3/3) The order granted the president the power to dissolve the National Assembly and appoint the Army Chief and provincial governors, and it established a military-dominated National Security Council appointed with control of the nation’s security policies. Pakistan reflects an area of intense disagreement within American foreign policy circles – while there is broad consensus that a democratic, allied Pakistan is a necessary security partner in the long term, there is major disagreement over the extent to which cooperation with Musharraf benefits the United States over the short term. Pakistan’s desire to secure a Pakhto-dominant and friendly government in the guise of the Taliban regime on its western border drove it away from the United States and closer to global Islamists. windsofchange.net /archives/004938.php   (4029 words)

India. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001 The Government of India Act (late 1919) set up provincial legislatures with “dyarchy,” which meant that elected Indian ministers, responsible to the legislatures, had to share power with appointed British governors and ministers. India supported the demands of the Awami League, an organization of Pakistani Bengalis, for the autonomy of East Pakistan, and in Dec., 1971, war broke out between India and Pakistan on two fronts: in East Pakistan and in Kashmir. India also produces large amounts of machine tools, transportation equipment, chemicals, and cut diamonds (it is the world’s largest exporter of the latter) and has a significant computer software industry. www.bartleby.com /65/in/India.html   (462 words)

IRVAJ English - The rejection Wednesday effectively sinks the proposal of Kandahar Gov. Gul Agha Sherzai, the most powerful of six provincial governors in Afghanistan's ethnic Pashtun-dominated south, to require the Americans to seek permission before striking suspected al-Qaida and Taliban positions in their region. Sherzai last week called a meeting of six southern governors to discuss his proposals.

Pakistani strongman imposes anti-democratic constitutional changes Pakistan’s military ruler General Pervez Musharraf has imposed 29 sweeping constitutional changes that make a mockery of his claims to be returning the country to democratic rule through general elections scheduled for October 10. Under the constitutional changes, Musharraf as president can dissolve the elected parliament and provincial assemblies at his own discretion and appoint and sack provincial governors. He told IMF managing director Paul Chabrier on August 20 that “the constitutional amendments would help put in place checks and balances required for the continuity of reforms initiated by the government” and pledged to continue the restructuring of the public sector enterprises. www.wsws.org /articles/2002/sep2002/paki-s05.shtml   (1279 words)
