will, personal interest, the ideological tussle
between the old and rigid mind-set and the
so-called liberalists have the major hindrances
towards the implementation of these
components in Pakistan.

the basic components- Islam, Islamic
Democracy, Social Systems of Islam and social
Responsibility and Fundamental Human
Rights in Society as such. These factors can be
seen scattered in society but as an organized
concerted systematic effort is lacking

CHAPTER 02

CONSTITUTIONAL
DEVELOPMENT IN PAKISTAN
2.1.1 = Define the term constitution.

Answers:
A
● A body of principles, rules & regulation which determines the
administrative structure of the state and reflects the political
ideology or political life of a state (Country) is termed as
constitution. B
● A body of document which determines the rights and the
responsibilities of a state and its people may be termed as
constitution. C
● Constitution is a set of basic principles and framework for
governance and exercise of political power and legal authority.

●Types of Constitution (By Function)


RIGID CONSTITUTION
● A constitution which requires a very complicated procedure
to make any changes in it is termed as a Rigid Constitution.
Such as Constitution of USA.

FLEXIBLE CONSTITUTION
● A constitution which does not require a very complicated
procedure to make any changes or modification in it is
termed as a Flexible Constitution. Such as constitution of
UK.
● A constitution which is flexible and rigid at the same time is
termed as Rigid-cum-Flexible Constitution. Such as of
Pakistan.

Types of Constitution (By Definition)


WRITTEN CONSTITUTION

● A constitution which is available in the written form is


usually called a written constitution. Almost all the
countries in the world have written constitution.

UN-WRITTEN CONSTITUTION
● A constitution which is apparently not in the written form
but understood and practiced by the people of the state is
termed as Unwritten constitution. Such as UK.
● However, the constitution of UK is not completely
Unwritten. The sources of UK constitution are(1) common
practices of people which are widely accepted in
UK(Conventions/Customs) ,(2) the orders issued by the
crown(Charters),(3) acts passed by the Parliament(Statues),
(4)decision given by judges in specific cases(Judicial
Decisions),(5)laws which generated without the efforts of
British Parliament and got popularity(Common
Law),(6books written by the prominent jurists/law experts
on the constitution of UK(Writing of experts/Jurists)
● Excepts the conventions/customs all the other sources of
British constitution are in the written form that’s why the
constitution of UK is not completely unwritten.

2.1.2 = Describe why constitution is important


for a state?
● A constitution is important for a state because it reflects the
political life and political ideology of a state.
● A constitution is very important for a state and its people as it
determines the rights and responsibilities of the Government
of a state and its people.
● A constitution is very important for a state because it insures
the political and physical survival of the state and its people.
● A constitution is very important for a state because it provides
the guiding principles to shape the National and Foreign
policies of a country.
● A constitution explains the role and function of all the
administrative and political bodies of a STATE.
● A constitution clarifies the scope of power, relationship among
various institutions within the government and society. It has
precedence over ordinary laws and cannot be changed like
ordinary laws.

2.2.1= Discuss the Key Ideas of the speech


delivered by Muhammad Ali Jinnah to
CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY of PAKISTAN on
11th August 1947.
About the Constituent Assembly
●We would make this Assembly an example to
the world.
●The Constituent Assembly has to perform two
responsibilities----(1) Framing the constitution
of Pakistan and (2) Serving as the Federal
Legislature (Parliament) of Pakistan.
●The world is wondered at the emergence of
two Independent states which is
unprecedented and unparallel.
●It is very important that we have achieved it
(Independence/Pakistan) peacefully by a
gradual process.
●As Assembly is a complete Independent body
with all powers it is their greatest responsibility
to be careful in its decision/s.
●The first duty of the government is to maintain
law and order in order to protect the life,
property and religious beliefs of its people.

About Social Vices/Evils—Nature, Cause and


effects and Strategy to Deal With
●Bribery and corruption are poison and must be
put down with an iron hand.
●Black-marketing is also a curse is really a
monster and a colossal (huge / great) crime
against society.
● People who do black-marketing are usually
knowledgeable, aware, intelligent and
responsible.
●They (the black marketers) should be punished
severely as the entire system of control and
regulation of foodstuff and basic
commodities(products) are in their hand
● They (by doing black-marketing) cause
wholesale (large scale) starvation and shortage
of food which even leads to death.
●Nepotism (favoring relatives and friends)
Jobbery (using public office /post for one’s own
interest) are the legacy which has been passed
to us.
●I shall never tolerate any kind of jobbery,
nepotism or any influence directly or indirectly
brought to bear upon me/to have an effect on
me.
About the Division of India (Jinnah’s Own
Point of View About Division of India)
●I know there are some people who are not in
favor of division of India and the partition of
the Punjab and Bengal.
●Now it (division) has been accepted and it is
the duty of every one of us loyally abide
by(follow) it.
●Regarding it (division) we should honorably
act/perform according to the agreement which
is now final and binding on all.
●Division had to take place although in
Hindustan and Pakistan there are sections of
people who may not agree with it.
●In my judgment there was no other solution
and I am sure future history will record this
verdict in favor of it.
●It will be proved by actual experience as we go
on, that was the only solution of India’s
Constitutional problem.
●Any idea of United India could never have
worked and in my judgment, it would have led
us to terrific disaster.
●Question of minority (their rights) had to be
unavoidable whether the division would take
place or
not.
How to Make State of Pakistan Happy and
Prosperous? (Jinnah’s guidelines)
●If we want to make this State of Pakistan happy
and prosperous, we should completely focus on
the well-being(welfare) of the people and
specially of the masses and poor.
●For the progress of the country forget about
your past relationship, your community
belongingness, your racial and religious
attachment.
●If citizens of this state have equal rights,
privileges(facilities) and equal responsibilities
there will be no end to the progress they will
make for this country.
About the Issue of Minority and Majority
●In the course of time the issues of majority and
minority communities---the Hindu community
and Muslim community will vanish/disappear.
What Stopped India to Achieve it
independence?
●The religious, ethnic and class division in both
the communities, to me, have been the biggest
hindrance in the way of India to attend the
freedom and independence

About Religious Freedom in Pakistan


●You are free, free to go to your temples,
mosques or to any other place or worship in
this state of Pakistan.
●You may belong to any religion or caste or
creed that has nothing to do with the business
of the state.
●England experienced religious riots as Roman
Catholics and the protestants persecuted each
other (in the name of religion).
●Even now there are some states where
discrimination and bars(restrictions) are against
a particular class.
●Thanks God we are starting in the days where
there is no discrimination, no
distinction(difference)between one community
and another, no discrimination between one
caste or creed and another.
●We are starting with this fundamental principle
that we are all citizens and equal citizens of one
State.

●Now we should keep that in front of us our


ideal and you will find that in course of time
Hindus would cease to be Hindus and Muslims
would cease to be Muslims, not in the religious
sense, because that is the personal faith of
each individual, but in the political sense as
citizens of the State.
Guiding Principles of Jinnah as the Head of the
State of Pakistan
●I shall always be guided by the principles of
justice and fair play without any prejudice or
ill-will, in other words partiality or favoritism.
●My guiding principles will be justice and
complete impartiality.

2.2.1 = Identify the key features of the

(Liaquat Ali Khan) in the month of February (1949) in the
first Constituent Assembly Of Pakistan approved or passed by
that assembly with majority of votes on March 12,1949 is

● The reason to call this resolution as the Objectives Resolution
was that it reflected the demands an Objectives for which
Pakistan was achieved.

2.2.3 = Discuss the significance and impact of


Objectives Resolution In the constitutional
Development of Pakistan.
Significance
● Objectives Resolution was a document which provided basic
principles for the future constitution in Pakistan.
● In the words of Liaquat Ali Khan (the first prime Minister of
Pakistan) it was next historical achievement to Pakistan.
● Objectives Resolution is the best manifestation of the ideology
of Pakistan.
● Objectives Resolution is regarded as the basis of all the
constitutions of Pakistan------- 1956, 1962 and 1973 as it has
been included in the preamble of all three constitutions of
Pakistan.
● In 1985 the Objectives Resolution was made the compulsory
part of the constitution of 1973 (On going constitution of
Pakistan) through an amendment.
● Objectives Resolution is regarded as Megna Carta (A
historical agreement signed between the people of England
and King John (of ENGLAND) in which he surrendered some
rights to the people of England in 1215). As Magna Carta
insured some fundamental rights of the people of England in
the Monarchy of King John) the same job was done by the
Objectives Resolution in Pakistan by ensuring the fundamental
rights of the people of Pakistan.

Impact

Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

● The Objectives Resolution made it binding on the ruler as well


as the Parliament of Pakistan that they cannot pass and
implement such law/s which is/are against the teachings of
Quran & Sunnah.

was the most important political requirement to deal with
diverse geographical, lingual political / administrative units it
was adopted later on.
● Objectives Resolution gave double protection to the minorities
by ensuring their fundamental rights and special rights given
to them as minorities in Pakistan
2.2.4 = Discuss the reasons behind the delay in
the constitution process. /Discuss the factors
which delayed the constitution-making process
in the initial years of Pakistan
Islamist vs Secularists
● There was a conflict between the Islamists and the Secularists
on the nature of the constitution. The Islamist wanted the
constitution guided by the Islamic principles on the other hand
the Secularists wanted the constitution to be guided by the
western political principles, this ideological difference or
conflict delayed the constitution process in Pakistan.
Question of Provincial Autonomy
● The question of provincial autonomy (Empowerment of the
provinces) between the Punjab province and east Bengal and
other provinces delayed the constitution process in Pakistan as
no consensus was developed particularly between Punjab and
Bengal as Punjab wanted powerful center and Bengal wanted
powerful provinces with maximum provincial autonomy.

Death of Jinnah
The death of Jinnah created political vacuum and leadership
crisis which led to the division or rift in hierarchy of All India
Muslim League which was the ruling party that’s why its
attention got diverted from the constitution making and it got
indulge in party politics which delayed the constitution
making process in Pakistan.
Settlement of Refugees
After the emergence of Pakistan one of the biggest challenges
for Pakistani government was to deal with the great influx of
refugees whose number was increasing all the time. About 6.5
million refugees had come to Pakistan and the number
eventually reached up to 10 million. In order to accommodate
such people, the government had to put its all energy to deal
with this issue that’s why it could not pay much attention to
constitution making for Pakistan and it got delayed.

Lingual Conflict
● People of East Pakistan wanted Bengali language to be
declared as to be the national language of Pakistan although
Mr. Jinnah had already declared the national language of
Pakistan in March 1948. This language controversy at last
became an important factor of delaying the constitution
process of Pakistan.

Issue of Separate or Joint Electorate

● There was no agreement among the people of Pakistan on the


issue of mode/type of election either they should elect their
representatives by separate or joint electorate. The people of
West Pakistan wanted separate electorate whereas the people
of east Pakistan (East Bengal) particularly Hindu population
wanted joint electorate the lack of agreement on this issue
ultimately delayed the constitution process in Pakistan.
Presidential or Parliamentary System
● There was no consensus on the type of Government to be
practiced in Pakistan people of West Pakistan wanted
presidential system to be followed as it was closed to Islamic
system, on the other hand people of East Pakistan due to their
secular approach and religious diversity wanted parliamentary
system guided by western democratic principles this
eventually led to the delay in the constitution process in
Pakistan.
● Frequent Removal of Provincial Ministries
There was frequent removal of provincial Chief ministers in
Pakistan from. From 1947 to 1956 eleven (11) chief ministers
were removed in different provinces in Pakistan. This frequent
ouster (removal) of chief ministers created political unrest in
the provinces which led to the pollical instability in the
country which eventually delayed the constitution making
process in Pakistan.

2.2.5 = Describe the salient features of 1956


Constitution.
Salient Features
● Written Constitution with 234 articles 6 schedules
(Chapters) and a preamble (Introductory Part)

made against Quran and Sunnah, brotherly relationship
with the Muslim world sovereignty of the Allah the
Almighty was insured and emphasized.

powers will be distributed between Center and Two wings
of Pakistan with three list---- The federal list discusses the
power of the center; the provincial list discusses the
powers of provinces and the concurrent list or the list of
the common powers enjoyed by both the central and
provincial governments.
● Parliamentary form of government had to be followed
---------Prime Minister as the real administrative head of
the state (Muslim or Non- Muslims) with its specific body

National Assembly will be forming to make legislation

drawn for each wing.

2.2.6 = Discuss the reasons that led to the failure


of 1956 constitution.
● The constitution of 1956 which was implemented on 23rd
March 1956 was abrogated just after 2 and half years and
replaced by martial law on 7 October 1958. It could not last
long due to the following reasons.
Tug of War Between Prime Minister and President
● Although the prime minister was real administrative head
according to the constitution of 1956 the president Iskandar
Mirza over-shadowed the power of the prime minister which
led to the power struggle between the president and the prime
minister which did not let the constitution function in its true
sense and it failed at last.
Centre versus Provinces
● The central government interfered in the matters of the
provinces which was the negation of the federal system which
empowered the provinces to use their powers for the larger
interest of their province. The central verses provinces led to a
political rivalry which almost paralyzed the function of the
constitution of 1956.
Elections Promised But Never Conducted
● Although the constitution promised that the new elections will
be conducted so that people could choose their representative
for the parliament, they(elections) were never held, and the
parliamentarian could not be appointed by the people and it
remained restricted only to 80 members. This was another
violation which eventually paved the way for the failure of the
constitution.
Silence on Mod/Method Of Elections
● The constitution remained silent on the mod /method of
elections though it was a serious issue in Pakistan. The people
of East Pakistan wanted joint electorate and the people of West
Pakistan wanted separate electorate this silence became one of
the factors responsible for the failure of the constitution.
Parliamentary System Was Unknown
● The parliamentary system introduced by the constitution of
1956 was quite unknown to the people of Pakistan who were
naturally closed to the presidential system of government. This
lack of political awareness had to become a reason for the
failure of the constitution.

2.2.7 = Describe the salient features of 1962


constitution.
● Written Constitution with 250 articles, 4 schedules
(Chapters) and a preamble (Introductory Part) with 50
specific martial codes (Laws).
● Islamic in Nature as president had to be a Muslim, No law
made against Quran and Sunnah, brotherly relationship
with the Muslim World sovereignty of the Allah the
Almighty was ensured and emphasized.
● Federal system had to be adopted which declared that
powers will be distributed between Center and Two wings
of Pakistan with limited two capacity in other words
provinces would have curtailed provincial autonomy /
powers.
● Presidential form of government was introduced
--------President was the head of the state and head of the
administration with immense powers.
● Unicameral Legislature or one house parliament called as
National Assembly would be formed to make
legislation(laws) for Pakistan comprising 218 members.
● Fundamental Rights will be provided to every citizen of
Pakistan with certain boundaries or limitation as they
cannot not have political assembly(gathering), make their
own political party and enjoy the freedom of expression
● Judiciary (Superior or the Supreme Court) will be made
independent so that the fundamental rights may be insured
and any arising issue between the central and provincial
government could be solved by the Judiciary. But it won’t
enjoy the Power of Judicial Review.
● Islamabad and Dhaka were declared the capitals of
Pakistan.
● Urdu and Bengali languages would serve as the National
language of Pakistan.
● Indirect form of election would be adopted to choose the
member of national and provincial assemblies and the
president known as Electoral Collage / Basic
Democracies.

2.2.8 = Discuss the reasons that led to the failure


of 1962 constitution.
● The constitution of 1962 which was implemented on 8 June
1962 at last abrogated as the martial law replaced it on 25
March 1969 imposed by Gernal Yaha Khan.
● Absence of Democratic Nature
● The constitution did not reflect the democratic color and
reflection of people’s interest and input it was thrust on the
people of Pakistan by a military ruler at his own will an
understanding that’s why it couldn’t get popularity among the
people of Pakistan which ultimately become one of the causes
of its failure.
Presidential Dictatorship
● The constitution was a one man show in the words of
Chaudhry Muhammad Ali it was of the president and by the
president.
● The president could not be impeached or questioned for his
any action by the parliament. The president could veto/reject
any law passed by the parliament this unique characteristic of
the constitution became the failure of the constitution.
Judiciary Was Partially Independent
● The constitution did not give judiciary the power of judicial
review which limited the powers of judiciary at the same time
provincial autonomy was given in the most curtailed form to
the provinces similarly the fundamental rights were also
restricted, this created confusion and political unrest in the
country which eventually led to the failure of the constitution.

Absence of Check and Balance


● There was no proper system of check and balance in the
constitution to monitor and regulate the administration of the
state that’s why the constitution mad with the failure.
Unique Form of Elections
● The constitution introduced a unique and strange form of
election known as Basic Democracies (BDs) which raised
many doubts on the validity of the electoral college or BDs
and that itself became one of the reasons for the failure of the
constitution in future.

Allied Question/SlO=Define the term federation.


●Federation: Combination of number of
states/provinces working under one central
authority/government in a way that there is a
distribution of powers/authority
between/among the Central and other
states/provinces i.e. Federation of USA---51
governments functions in USA simultaneously
one in Washington D.C(Central Government)
and 50 (provincial governments) in 50
states/provinces of USA.

2.2.9 = Describe the salient features of 1973


constitution.
● Written Constitution with 280 articles, 7 schedules
(Chapters) and a preamble (Introductory Part)
● Islamic in Nature as president & the prime minister both
had to be a Muslim, No law made against Quran and
Sunnah, brotherly relationship with the Muslim World
sovereignty of Allah the Almighty was ensured and
emphasized, Error free printing of Holy Quran.
● Federal system has to be adopted which declares that
powers will be distributed between Center and four
provinces of Pakistan with three list---- The federal list
discusses the powers of the Center; the provincial list
discusses the powers of Provinces and the Concurrent list
or the list of the common powers enjoyed by both the
central and provincial governments.
● Bicameral Legislature or Two - house parliament called as
National Assembly and the Senate (comprising 342 seats
for national assembly and 104 for the Senate) will be
formed to make legislation for the people of Pakistan.
● Fundamental Rights such as right to life and property,
right to practice religion, right to choose economic
profession, right to move , right to freedom of expression
, right to assemble , right to form political party, right to
receive education will be guaranteed for every citizen of
Pakistan without any religious political and economic
discrimination.
● Judiciary (Superior or the Supreme Court) will be made
independent so that the fundamental rights may be insured
and any arising issue between the central and provincial
government could be solved by the Judiciary.
● Direct form of elections would be adopted to choose the
member of national and provincial assemblies with the
prescribed voting age as 18 to cast the vote.
● Urdu language would serve as the National language of
Pakistan. While English will serve as language of offices
by 1988.

Allied Question/SlO=Does constitution of 1973


fulfill the conditions of a federation?
● A federation requires a written constitution having superiority
over all institutes/elements of a state and the constitution of
1973 is in written form having the superiority over all organs
of the state of Pakistan.
● Distribution of powers between a central and provincial
governments is the fundamental requirement of a federation--
the constitution of 1973 clearly mentions the list of central and
provincial powers and determines their domain of Powers.
● In a federation the provinces enjoy the provincial
empowerment(autonomy) and the constitutional 1973 does
offer provincial autonomy.
● In a federation it is the Judiciary which settles any arising
issue between the Centre (Federal government) and
Province/s(provincial government/s)--- we fined the same
characteristic/feature in the constitution of 1973 as Supreme
Court does the same job in Pakistan.

traditions values literature history among
the various religious, lingual, and racial
communities on the one hand add to the
national culture of Pakistan on the other
hand it may develop sense of
brotherhood and unity among these
entities as when they come in contact
with various cultures they may adopt the
best part of those cultures which
generates the characteristics of
acceptance and adoption which may
decrease the hostilities and enmities or
the negative feelings towards other
culture.

Chapter 05

Economic Planning and Development


in Islamic Republic of Pakistan
SLO NO.5.1.1
Define the term Economy, inflation, Gross Domestic
Product (GDP) and Gross National Product (GNP)

● Materials that satisfy human wants and provide utility are


called goods.
● All things (finished and semi-finished which are
manufactured/produced at large scale and put to sale and
purchase are also called goods.
● All paid activities/skills/expertise which take part in the
production or distribution of goods are called services.

Economy
● The systematic study of production, consumption,
exchange and distribution and of goods and services in a
region is known as Economy.
● If the economy is directly controlled and regulated by the
Government itself, it is called Command
Economy/Centralized/Controlled Economy----in Pakistan
in the Era of Bhutto (1972—78) there was Command
Economy in Pakistan. In Soviet Union there was a
Command Economy (1924-1991) as all the industries,
businesses, banks and other institutions were directly
controlled and run by the Soviet government.
● If the economy is controlled and regulated by both the
Government (Public Sector) and Business Community
(private Sector) it is called the Mixed Economy. ----in
Pakistan in the Era of Ayub (1958—68) there was Mixed
Economy in Pakistan. In most of the developed countries
(USA, France, Germany etc.) Mixed Economy is practiced.
● If the economy is controlled and regulated by the Business
Community/group—they determine the supply and
demand of the market and the Government serves as a
facilitator—provides and improves infrastructure (land,
water, gas, roads) peace and security it is called Private
Economy----it is said Zia’s government(1977-1988) not
completely but too a great extent followed this model of
economy in Pakistan

GDP
● GDP stands for Gross Domestic Product which is the
market value of all final goods and services produced in a
country in one year by local and foreigners.

Calculation of GDP
● GDP = Consumptions (C) government spending (G)
investment(I) and net export (Exports – (minus) Import) NX
● Consumption means utilization of resources (goods and
services)
● Government spending means government
expenditures/expenses---payment of salaries of
employees, construction of roads, bridges, hospitals,
education, health and social securities and other welfare
projects.
● Investment made by private sector(non-official) and public
sector (Government).
● Exports are goods and services sold out to other countries.
● Imports are goods and services purchased/bought from
other countries.

GNP
● GNP stands for Gross National Product which is defined as
the market value of final goods and services produced by
the citizens/natives of a country within and outside the
country.
Calculation of GNP

GNP = Consumptions (C)+ government spending (G)+


investment(I) + Net export (Exports – (minus) Import) NX
-Income of foreigners +income from abroad

Simple formula of GNP

GNP=GDP- Income of foreigners +income from abroad


● Income of foreigners who are working in our country is not
calculated because it is calculated in their home countries.
● Income from abroad is calculated in GNP and it is gift or
money sent by our citizens from other countries. It is called
as Remittances.

● To calculate GNP, we subtract the income of foreigners


working in our country and we add the income of the
citizens (Remittances) of our country to the factors which
also calculate the GDP.

SLO. No. 5.1.3


Describe the importance of economic planning.
Economic Planning
● Economic Planning means a systematic study of available
human and natural resources of a country so that they
could be used for the maximum welfare of the people in a
given time.
Benefits
● Economic Planning helps the government of a country to
maintain balance of trade, remove economic evils ---
unemployment, poverty, inflation.
● Economic planning ultimately leads to high per capita
income which eventually raises the economic standard of
the people of the country.
● The raise/increase in the general price of goods and
services in a particular region is known as inflation.
● Inflation decreases the purchasing power of the people,
lowers the rate of national saving, and increases the
import expenditure of a country.

Inflation
General increase in the prices of goods and services of a region
or country is called inflation.
SLO. No. 5.1.4
Evaluate the impacts of Inflation on economy.
Impacts of Inflation on People/economy

Negative
Decrease in Purchasing Power
● Inflation reduces the purchasing power of people which
leads to affect the cost of living and standard of living of
the people of a country.
Low National Savings

● Inflation encourages consumption (utilization of


goods/products) instead of saving. Savings are needed to
increase funds in the financial markets and the absence of
saving leads to borrow more money for business that slows
down the economy.

Lower exports
● Higher prices of goods mean that other countries will find it
less attractive to purchase our goods. This will lead to a
decline in exports and lower production and higher
unemployment in our country.
Tax increases
Higher prices(inflation) lead to increases in taxes. Property
taxes on houses, land, and other real estate will increase, and
would affect the national economic life of people.

Increase in Import expenditure

Inflation leads to increase in the import expenditure because


more money would be required to pay for imported items or
goods that would eventually increase the cost of production
which would further affect the domestic budget of a common
buyer.

Increases in Unemployment

Inflation may force the industries to go for down-sizing in their


staffs and employees which would eventually increase the rate
of unemployment and increase the economic burden of a
country.

Positive
For Government
● Inflation would benefit government in a way that it pushes
government to print more money which gives government
free access to funds and it can quickly use these funds for
quick economic recovery through funding in National
public welfare projects and balance of payment
● Printing money because of inflation can stimulate the
economy in the short run because an increase in the money
supply lowers interest rates in the short run.
● Inflation raises nominal wages and pushes people into
higher tax brackets. Higher taxes mean more tax revenue
for the government.
● Inflation would give benefit to the national banks in a way
that they would receive more interest money on the
sanctioning /issuance loans to the businessmen/common
people.
For People
● Inflation increases the market value of the land and
property of people as they may get more money(profit) on
selling of these assets.
● Inflation would increase the interest rate which would give
more economic benefits to those people who purchased
national saving certificate or kept their money with the
banks before the inflation took place in the country.

cultivable(irrigated) land and 500 ace dry
land(unirrigated) so that land could be re-distributed
among the peasants and farmers which could pave
the way for the agricultural output on the one hand
and economic life of the farmer on the other hand
could be improved.
o The govt took the control of entire agricultural land
and re-distributed among the landlords and the
farmers and landlords.
o The government confiscated a large number of Jagir
without any compensation in Sindh alone, over 800

be implemented effectively because the landlords started
transferring their lands to their relatives and family
members that undermined the government land reforms
to bring revolutionary changes in the agricultural fields.

revive the agricultural outlook of the country
INDUSTRY

- Bhutto did not believe in the industrial freedom given to


the private investors and he thought that it was the
government which could solely play a decisive role in the
industrial sector that’s why he started taking control of all
the major industries of the country and this policy was
given the name as “Policy of Nationalization” ----the
driving source behind this policy/step his too much
inspiration with the Socialism.
- A federal Ministry of Production was created to
oversee/supervise industry, while the sole of the private
sector business was limited.

- About 70 industries including chemical, engineering,


fertilizers were nationalized. Later, Banks were also
nationalized this policy went on till 1976.

- The government broke the industrial and banking
monopoly of big families which encouraged other investors
to initiate industrial projects under the supervision of govt.
- The labor export (overseas Pakistanis) captured the middle
East market (found more job opportunities in construction
field) which led to the more remittance to Pakistan ranging
about 4 billion rupees.
- The number of overseas got a great boost and it rose up to
from 2000 to 1.6 million by the end of Bhutto’s regime.

WEAKNESS /IMPACT (NEGATIVE) :-


- The industrial reforms of Bhutto or the policy of
nationalization shattered the confidence of private
business investors, and they started shifting their capital
(Investment) from Pakistan to other countries known as
Capital Flight.
- The labor reforms led to the monopoly of labors and labor
organizations which misused their influence and created
number of administrative issues for their employers and
industrial output.
ECONOMIC POLICY OF ZIA-UL-HAQ

● Zia took the charge as the Chief Martial Law Administrator


in 1977 by removing Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto from his
premiership.
● Zia was much inclined towards Islamization, and he did not
like the policy of economic socialism that’s why he
reverted the economic policies of Bhutto after assuming
the power.

ECONOMIC VISION OF ZIA


● Islamization of the economy.
● Greater reliance on private sector to achieve economic
goals.
● Encouragement of denationalization/
privatization—handing over the public/government/state
own institutions to the private sector.
● Industrial liberalization—loosing/ lessening government
control, regulation and restrictions in the Industrial Sector
for the greater participation of Private Business
organizations/institutions.

ISLAMISATION OF ECONOMY
● Zia tried to give Islamic color to the Economy of Pakistan
by taking the following steps:
● Zakat and Usher Ordinance was introduced as 2.5% was
deducted from bank account of Sunni Muslims on every
first day of holy month of Ramadan.
● Farmers were to pay 5% of their produce as Usher in place
of land tax.
● Interest free Banking System depended upon profit and
loss sharing was introduced.
● People were encouraged to invest their money and to
become partners to share profit and risk in the business
instead of becoming creditors/borrowers.

Industry
● Zia did not like the policy of Nationalization introduced by
Bhutto that’s why he went for the opposite to
Nationalization known as Denationalization/Privatization
or handing over/returning industries to the private owners
by the government.
Steps Taken By Zia to Unfold His Industrial Policy
● The government returned three steel mill industries to the
previous owners to initiate its policy of Denationalization.
● For adoption of a market-based development strategy the
government signed a three - year Extended Fund Facility
(EFF) with IMF in 1980 for number of structural reforms to
promote economic liberalization.
● The investment climate for the Private Sector was
improved by providing guarantees against Nationalization
in future.
● Industrial /Export Processing Zone were established to
i) attract foreign investment.
ii) speed up flow of modern technology.
iii) provide more job opportunities.
iv) raise skill and management standard.
v) provide exporters a base for production in an
environment free from import duties.

● Generous incentives for manufactured exports in the


forms of rebates(concessions/discounts) and subsidies
(financial support) were offered and ensured to the
Pakistani industrial exporters.
● A flexible exchange rate policy (devaluation of currency)
was introduced for Export expansion.
Strengths/ Impacts (Positive)
● The Public-Private Sector relationship strengthened which
paved the way for more private investment in the
industrial activities in the country as it increased from 33%
in 1980 to 46% by 1989.
● Due to large export incentives and rebates the Pakistan s
manufactured exports got fourfold from $ 1.3 billion in
1980 to $ 5.6 billion in 1983 by growing the rate of 7-8 %
per year.
● The industrial growth had a significant change as it
reached up to 9% from 3.7% in the 11-year ruling period of
Zia.
● The prices of domestic wheat, rice and cotton were kept
low which helped the government benefit the urban
consumers and the industrialists at the coast of the
agricultural producer.

Weaknesses/ Impacts (Negative)

● Though Pakistan did witness high growth rate of 6.5%


during Zia period, it was inadequate in relation to both
current needs and future requirements. That is why serious
shortages of infrastructure, especially in the energy,
transport, and urban development are his legacies.
● No prudent policy was initiated by the government to
channelize workers remittances, most of the amount
remitted by the expatriates was spent by their relatives in
buying land construction of houses, purchase of durables
etc.
● The results from Export Processing Zone were
disappointing as exports from the zone were relatively
small.

and children, through universal access to affordable quality
essential health services.
● Developing a comprehensive National HR strategy, Nursing
strategy and other allied health work force strategies may
also be considered based on National Health Vision.

health financing as it is the cornerstone of a country’s
well-functioning health systems.
● Federal and provincial governments will develop joint
strategies aimed to enhance resource mobilization for
health from official development assistance
(ODA)/international development partners, private
sectors’ engagement, and through taxes such as sin tax (a
tax on items such as alcohol or tobacco).
● Federal and Provincial governments will increase allocation
to health (as pledged in Pakistan vision 2025) to 3% of GDP,
to maximize the pay-offs from investing in health.
● There will be a renewed and synergistic focus on
cross-sectoral action for advancing health, with a particular
focus on communicable and non-communicable disease
including mental health and under-nutrition. The concept
of “One Health” and “Health in all policies” will be
promoted.
● New global sustainable development agenda will be
reflected in all health strategies and plans, for which
governments will be provided technical support and
appropriate expertise.

Orphan Drugs, Alternative medicine and Medical Devices
will also be put in place.
CHALLANGES / ISSUES Faced By Government Regarding
HEALTH SSECTOR In PAKISTAN

● Pakistan is facing a double burden of disease (BoD), the


burden is higher in the poor, and many of these conditions
can be controlled at relatively low-cost interventions and
best practices through primary and secondary care levels.
● Communicable diseases, maternal health issues and
under-nutrition dominate and constitute about half of the
BoD.
● In young children, diarrhea and respiratory illness remain
as the major killers. Maternal deaths due to preventable
causes like sepsis, hemorrhage and hypertensive crises are
common.
● The capacity to regulate public and the private sector
health market i.e. medical practice, pharmaceutical, and
diagnostics is weak.
● There is no uniform approach for managing the
governance of health institutions and the capacity for
contracting in and contracting out of services is not
optimal.
● It is critical to use the information systems for planning,
resource allocation, and health care delivery system;
however, it is impractical because it lacks accuracy, quality,
reliability and absence of linkages with decision makers.
● Professional education in health is run at sub-optimal level
without synchronizing the curriculum with modern
pedagogic techniques, international standards and the
local requirements.

● Licensing and renewal of licensing of health practitioners is


weak, and is not linked with improved qualification,
competence, performance and continuous professional
development. There are weak institutional levers for
gauging the performance of health staff.

● There is an apparent stagnancy in the coverage of


community health workers, and their numbers, coverage
and quality are far from the required standards.

● Inadequate infrastructure and standards along with poor


quality of services have shaken the trust of the public,
resulting in hardly 20% population utilizing the first level
care in public sector.

● Inequitable access, urban-rural disparities, lack of


regulation of private sector, non-conformity of essential
services packages have made the healthcare delivery being
non -responsive.

● Pakistan is one of the three remaining countries where


Polio is still endemic. Moreover, Pakistan has an
endemicity of hepatitis B and C in the general population
with 7.6% affected individuals.

● The public sector is inadequately staffed, and job


satisfaction and work environment need improvement.

Suggestions to Resolve Health Problems Faced By Pakistan


● Government should allocate more Budget for Health
Sector and make sure the Transparency of the Proposed or
allocated amount.
● Licensing and renewal of licensing of health practitioners
should be Standardized and strict, and must be linked with
improved qualification, competence, performance and
continuous professional development.
● The infrastructure of Government-run Hospitals and
Health Care Units should be restructured and improved.
● The quality of health service must be maintained and
provided to be provided without any discrimination to all
the patients .

Education For All (EFA)


Education is taken as a basic human right and in the same spirit it was affirmed as a
worldwide approach by UNO in 1948 (UNESCO, 2003). To accomplish this right, the
concept of Education for All (EFA) was introduced in 1990. EFA simply means basic
education for all children (both boys and girls), young and old alike and both male
and female as discussed by UNESCO (2005).
