ISLAMABAD - Pakistan's government says that they are meant to ensure media independence, but local journalists are wary over a new set of press laws awaiting the approval of the federal cabinet.

Pakistan Basic Democracies - Flags, Maps, Economy, Geography, Climate, Natural Resources, Current Issues, International Agreements, Population, Social Statistics, Political System In 1960 the elected members of the union councils voted to confirm Ayub Khan's presidency, and under the 1962 constitution they formed an electoral college to elect the president, the National Assembly, and the provincial assemblies. Above them, the district (zilla) councils, chaired by the deputy commissioners, were composed of nominated official and nonofficial members, including the chairmen of union councils. These powers, however, were more than balanced at the local level by the fact that the controlling authority for the union councils was the deputy commissioner, whose high status and traditionally paternalistic attitudes often elicited obedient cooperation rather than demands. workmall.com /wfb2001/pakistan/pakistan_history_basic_democracies.html
