Formation of new provinces in Pakistan


Formation of new provinces in Pakistan
By
Waqar Abro
Should new provinces in Pakistan be created or not and what formula should be applied for their creation?
Since creation of Pakistan we have always taken decisions before bringing consequences of our steps into account and later on regretted that this or that policy should not have been brought. Presently, Pakistan is not at the stage of any experiment. Before initiating any step pertaining to creation of new provinces ground realities should be given a focused view. They must be debated at all forums and a constructive outcome should be considered as final decision.
Reason of creation of new provinces should mainly be administrative in nature and political in practice.
Otherwise, all the tribal based communities will put forward their demands for separate provinces that would not be financially problematic for state but also create chaos across the country.
Hence, there should be a referendum in the Hazara and Siraki belt of the Punjab for separate provinces. Though without bringing amendment in the constitution (Article 239) separation of provinces is not possible yet role of all stake holders is also important in this regard.
All stake holders should be summoned in a meeting being called upon by Prime Minister and demand of separate provinces be accepted on the basis of ground realities which are economy and administration division.
Making provinces on lingual basis will create state of callousness and anarchy for the state however this factor should not be followed otherwise Brohi, jatoi,mahar,kakars and many other communities will ask for their separate provinces later on.
What should be nature of demand?
Demand for creation of new provinces should not be political in nature. For the sake of augmenting seats in Majis e shura provinces should not be created and good governance factor should be given paramount importance.
At the time of beginning, Nigeria had only 4 provinces and there had been tribal clashes and bad governance issues. Later on president of Nigeria brought reforms and made 7 new provinces just to harmonize administration. Today, it has more than 17 provinces and most of them were created just to make governance efficient and effective.
Same has been followed in Egypt and India.
Hence, before creating new provinces we must take a look on our neighbor and Muslim countries stance on this issue and if we find it quite effective then it should be implemented in Pakistan.
The following challenges will Pakistan face after creation of new provinces;
1.       Expenses of new administration
2.       Conflict on resource distribution
3.       Formation of new groups which will later on demand for their separate province on lingual basis
4.       There would also be administration personnel and Para military forces issue
5.       Political forces will also create problems for maintaining their hegemony over each other in newly made provinces.
6.       Development projects can also be affected to an extent.
7.       There can be emergence of turf war.

What is the role of Political Parties?
Political forces of Pakistan are not apparently serious with the new provinces issue. Each party wants to gain sympathy of the people just for its political interests. Same has been observed in MQM recent resolutions. Though MQM is largely considered as Provincial based political force yet it speaks of bringing reforms in KP where it does not have representation.  
                                “If FATA demands for new provinces, MQM will support it”      
                                                                (Altaf Hussain)
Presently role of PPPP and MQM on the demand of Siraki province is to break strength of PML N and PMLQ.  Although, there are many issues concerned to administration yet Siraki province issue has been completely politicized.

What is the role of media?
Media is taking this issue for the purpose of commercialization not for the betterment of governance in the country.
So far talk shows are observed as biased and immature. It can have played its better role by suggesting or pointing International norms to the government on new provinces issue but it has further politicized it.


Perception of individuals
Most of the Pakistanis consider this issue as politically motivated however they do not favor creation of new provinces. But there are also many other people who hold the view that if provinces are created for harmonizing administration of the country and execution of service at lower level then this issue should be resolved and new provinces should be created.

Conclusion
Hence, it can be concluded as Pakistan is economically fragile and politically weak.  If it is further experimented then situation in country can be worsen. Therefore, all stake holders should be summoned in a meeting being called upon by Prime Minister and creation of new provinces issue should be resolved on the view that they will be created solely for administrative purpose.

Negative role of media in world and in Pakistan

Negative role of media in world and in Pakistan
By
Waqar Abro 


Synopsis
1.     Is Role of media in Pakistan totally biased?
It is biased due to one sided approach and it focuses more on commercialization than on stabilization of the country.
2.     The importance of article 19 has been vehemently violated by the current media or not?
Article 19 speaks of freedom of speech but in the name freedom of speech country’s image at international level has been negatively portrayed by the so called fourth pillar of the state. It is not fourth pillar of the state that is considered in a number of western and eastern countries but rather it has become fifth column of the enemies.
3.     National interest of Pakistan and the concept of two nation theory have been literally distorted? Yes. Reasons are many; few among them are Indian dramas, Indian shows and Programs like voice of American aired, on the contrary the importance of our religion and state that bases on two nation theory are not aired to the larger extent. During the time of Indian attacks Kasab who was caught red handed, had been declared as Pakistani by so called Geo TV. While, hundreds of Americans, Raw agents, Mossad Agents are penetrating in Baluchistan and in Afghanistan their media never claimed their presence rather defended them to all possibilities.  This factor clearly implied to the world that Pakistan is the exporter of terrorism not of peace.
4.     Why media does all this shit?
Virtue is not sellable vice brings a lot of price that means the things that are comprised of goodness and of moral values do not bring money while the programs in which suicide bombers and evil things are shown that brings a lot of money. For instance, the theme of dramas which we used to watch on PTV are of good character and based on our traditional and cultural ethics but the dramas we see on rest of other Pakistani channels are apoles apart 
(showing Indian culture or copying it shamelessly).
5.      Comparison of Pakistani media with BBC, CNN and Fox?
Wherever in the world a mishap occurs it is presented as Muslims did this or responsible for it.  It is worthwhile to mention here, once there was a report on bbc of which headline was Muslim terrorist attacked on Nato.
Are we peace lovers or terrorist exporters? Certainly Muslims means followers of Islam which means peace then why are we maligned or labeled as terrorist? The same role intentionally or unintentionally has been vitally exercised by Pakistani media. All the day, news of havoc comprised on sensation is appearing on our TV screens while natural beauty and human and natural resource which exist in Pakistan are partially touched. What is the difference between west and east media then?

6.     Nature of news reporting?
50 years ago there was a provision in media ethics that dead bodies should not be printed in the newspapers. This provision is whether part of Pakistani media or not but all the day Pakistani media shows dead bodies of the people on the TV which has no doubt created the concept of volatility and insecurity. Psyche of the people has been plundered and they are left at the status of depression and callousness. According to State bank of Pakistan 64 percent foreign direct investment in the country has been nosedived, why investors are frightened of investing in our country? Its answer is crystal clear that at the international level we are regarded as unsafe and most dangerous nation which had also been stated by many investors, companies’ owners and politicians.
7.     Why media uses this tool as a source of income?
Basically, Human by nature becomes happy when someone is scandalized or maligned. For instance,Sui Sothern Gas Company has been providing a very remarkable and meritorious service since a long time  but  its role has never been appreciated on the other hand when news of gas shortage stared booming, Pakistani media presented SSGC AND SNGC as irresponsible and inefficient institution.
8.     Is this a type of war or has it been hijacked?
Geniuses of the world who believe more on facts and on ground realities are of the view that the current role of media in world in general and in Pakistan in particular is of psychological war of which conspiracy has been hatched by Jewish lobbies. To continue with the fact, media has been totally hijacked and dances over the tunes of the hijackers that are as mentioned above Jews. This has been confirmed by many theologians like zakir naik and great politicians like Mahatir mohammad.

9.     Has media been funded or used for vested interests?
Yes. It has been funded and used for personal vested interests. It was reported last year that 340$ million would be doled out to Pakistani media just for presenting America as a friend not foe, of which, outcome, came under the knowledge after the commencements of programs like voice of America in which culture of America that  has been nicely portrayed. On the other hand, programs like Big Boss and India award programs had also started appearing on our TV screens.

10.  Remedial measures?
1)     There should be code of conduct that must speak of cultural dignity, traditional values safety and neutrality.

2)    Rules and Regulations of Pemra should be upgraded and whosoever uses media as anti state element or media itself falling prey to ignorance of its duties, can be made accountable.

3)     There should be independent commission that on regular basis keeps its vigilant watch over the role of media and issuance of licenses should be followed on the recommendation of the independent commission that after thorough study of the nature of channel and its future plans in black and white will direct PEMRA to issue new licenses to new channels.

4)      Biasness and affiliation with any political party of anchors should be investigated before their inductions by Intelligence bureau.

5)    There should be formation of a wing in ministry of Information that should be tasked with the assessment of news and reports and whenever any misinterpreted or fake fable is published or aired ,concerned authority’s should be liable with heavy fine.

6)    There should be formation of institutes that train media persons at least annually. In training, they must be given a thorough understanding of national interest and policies of the state.

If the above suggested measures are initiated, the negative role of media can be improved to some extent.

Cheating in Sindh local government board exam

Today, a number of written tests have been conducted for various posts in Sindh local government.
All the tests were departmental based and there was neither discipline nor proper system of conducting tests.
Everyone was fearlessly cheating in the exam and no one was disallowed to carry mobile phones in the examination hall.
Apart from this, examination hall was solely looking like a groom and bride hall and there was no prevention in intra and group communication among the candidates.
Here are the pictures of the exam.








See the future civil servants of our country. How ruthlessly rule of law is being practiced in our country. Notice,the role of management.how it's personnel are involved in mal-practice and in cheating activities.
If this trend will not abolish then administration of the country will be completely ruined. Sindh government should take serious note of this intended cheating.

Khakis vs. Civilians

By Mahjabeen Mehboob Raja
Exclusive Article

Pakistan is a country which has been largely ruined at the cruel hands of civil and military dictators during last 65 years. They have enjoyed their terms one after another but the miserable lot of Pakistan remained unchanged. They had done number of experiences with it in the name of various reforms but everything looked destined to be failed. In a destabilized third world country, military is often the only well-disciplined, centralized and sophisticated institution. It has sophisticated instruments of violence and has a top down chain of command which is seldom if ever broken. Particularly in countries where democratic institution are either promising or democracy after its introduction leads to chaos, military due to its ability to bring “stability” and restore order often intervenes. Third world has thus witnessed a number of coups and Pakistan by no stretch of imagination is an exception.

Military once it intervenes to overthrow the political government becomes a political stakeholder and from that point onwards, takes steps particularly in the constitutional and legal realm, which solidify its acquired political status, powers and privileges. Of course the military is not accountable to the electorate and therefore in the longer run is quite insulated from the normal pressures which a political government has to go through. Military rule seriously undermines the democratic evolution and does not allow the political culture to deepen. It depoliticizes the populace and also creates a state which is not responsive to its people. Compared to Indian freedom movement, Pakistan’s independence movement became a mass movement at a very late stage. Whereas Congress’s birth was in 1885 and it became a mass movement particularly due Gandhi’s efforts by 1920s, Muslim League even in early 1940s had not been successful to garner the same kind of mass support. Ironically the areas where it was actually popular were areas which subsequently became part of India. It was only in the second half of the decade of 1940s that the Muslim League started to make real appeal to the people of the areas which subsequently became Pakistan.
Muslim League did not attain the political maturity the way Congress did which had gone through several generations of leaders and the political culture was institutionalized in the party as well as the movement headed by it.
This is an important distinction which shaped the respective roles of the military in both the countries. In India the political class was dominant from the beginning and moreover the public perception of the army was not of a saviour as the Indian army had served loyally under the British Empire. The entrenched political culture ensured that Indian political landscape made a smooth transition from a movement into a functioning democracy from the word go. Moreover, Nehru remained at the political helm in the initial years providing the much needed political stability under democratic umbrella. Military was never in a position to stage a coup both because the chaos-which often precedes the military coup and at least is the justification the first time- was never there and secondly the army did have an “image” issue due to its close association with the colonial rule. Nehru’s revered and towering status also prevented the development of any militaristic Bonapartism. Pakistan on the other hand was founded in an area where had already been militarized as most of the recruitment was taking place from so called “Martial Races” of Punjab and what is now Khyber Pukhtunkhawa. Moreover the state apparatus was stronger in Punjab and local politicians had to rely a lot on the civil bureaucracy in order to get things “done”. The reliance of political class on the state apparatus in areas falling under West Pakistan was much greater than in areas which later became India.
So when Pakistan came into being, the local politicians, particularly in the rural areas, had already become too entrenched in the practice of looking towards state apparatus to gain privileges and powers rather than rather than through political mechanism consisting of parties, manifestoes and ideology. In rural Punjab, this practice with varying degrees continues to this date.When Pakistan came into being the Muslim League despite having gained support in the last two years was still not a deeply rooted political party in the area which was West Pakistan. The main leaders of the League actually belonged to the areas which were in India and when they came to Pakistan, they were without the same kind of support. The nationalist movement actually brought leaders in West Pakistan whose roots had been left behind. In addition, Jinnah did not live long and died after one year of the creation of Pakistan.
In the initials years army was needed again and again both at the external front (Kashmir front) as well as the internal front (riots of 1953) to restore order. During these times while army’s role strengthened, the political landscape was fraught with chaos and repeated change of governments. The political class in the absence of a stabilizing political leader (Liaquat Ali Khan was shot dead in1951) and a political infrastructure underpinned by proper political culture, could not gain strength.
While government heads kept on changing, the Chief of Army Staff continued to gain power and moreover whereas in India the Chief of Army staff position witnessed at least five different individuals, Pakistan persisted with Ayub Khan. Repeated changes of governments and chaotic situation provided the impetus.History of the dirty marshal laws of Pakistan started off back in 1958 with the intervention of Field Marshal Ayub Khan. He laid the ugly foundations of military rule in Pakistan whereas India, our neighbor and arch rival built its army for defence and the differences are quite obvious today.
He later on introduced the concept of basic democracy in Pakistan, which failed just within the flash of eyes. He then, contested the presidential elections against Fatima Jinnah and defeated her with the clear rigging as bureaucracy was standing shoulder
to shoulder with him.His junior Gen Aagha Yahya Khan made the second intervention into the political set up of Pakistan and cost it an irreparable damage. Due to his destructive policies, Pakistan lost its second wind the Eastern Pakistan in 1971.
Then came the poor administrator in the shape of Gen Zia-ul-Haq that killed the best ever politician of Pakistan, Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto through court trials. It was the biggest loss our country has claimed so far but military dictatorship did not stop hence.
Gen Pervez Musharraf out threw the most powerful political government of Pakistan in 1999 and push Pakistan into an unnecessary and endless war of terrorism. The so-called war on terror has pushed our country into the depths of humiliations as we helped
the west to kill our friends and neighbours ruthlessly.
So what makes Pakistan a similar and yet in the longer run a “different” case as far as the role of military is concerned? Why the neighbouring India is an exception and why could not Pakistan follow the same trajectory despite the fact that it was carved out of the same British Empire?
Can we break this hold of Khakis and can limit them to borders? Yes, it can be broken but for that politicians too have to show maturity and respect rule of law. They also need to show unity instead of cheap opportunism when the opportunity to weaken military presents itself. What happened when Osama Bin Laden was killed?? Instead of having a united front, PPP was keen on creating a rift between army and PML-N for short sighted political gains. That opportunity was lost. And right now PML-N has actually gone to Supreme Court in Memo scandal despite the fact that the military establishment is targeting their supreme heads also and if democracy is derailed, they too will be loser.
We cannot wrestle away the power unless we show unity and an unshakable belief in democracy. However that belief in democracy is also underpinned by the way major political actors govern when in power and also engage with each other. The role of Army is to restore order and to defend the country on borders. Army needs chaos as a reason to intervene. It needs political governments to fail to ensure its hegemony. It wants political class to be riddled with internal rifts. What the political parties (the two main parties) can do is to at least ensure that they govern properly and ensure rule of law. They need to be united on the fact that they would not conspire against each other and will not try to seek army’s help for derailing the other.

No Pains No Gains

By Mahjabeen Mehboob Raja
Exclusive Article

Pakistan – US relations can be divided into three distinct phases: The Cold War period; the years of crisis in the relationship from 1990 to 1993; and the current phase of repairing, rebuilding and redefining relations. As rightly pointed out by Dr. Henry Kissinger, the former US Secretary of State, that; in the international politics, “there are neither permanent friends nor permanent foes of a state”. These are indeed, the convergences and divergences of national interests of states that make them friends or enemies to each other. National interests of states are not constant, but continue changing depending upon the emerging realities from time to time. National strategies are made on the principals of national interests’ not on emotions or on personnel liking or disliking of leadership or a particular factor.
In the current phase of Pak-US relationship which indeed started after the incident of 9/11, US needed Pakistan for active cooperation in its military operations against Taliban in Afghanistan. The militancy in FATA and other areas of Pakistan indeed is the fallout of this cooperation. Even during this phase there has been vicissitudes’ at the bilateral level and Pakistan was not fully trusted. Against the ground realities, it was equated with Afghanistan through the infamous Af-Pak policy. It is also true that Pak-US relationship is indeed a history of turbulent connections, and there is no harm in admitting that Islamabad’s ties with Washington were dictated by specific politico-military interests with no deep-rooted historical and ideological union. It was the national interest of US which dictated its relations with Pakistan.
In September 2011, Adm. Mike Mullen the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told the Senate that Pakistan’s intelligence agency had provided aid to the Haqqani network members who had attacked the American Embassy in Kabul the week before. In response, the Pakistani military’s high command has rallied the country’s civilian leadership to reject the U.S. ultimatum to end Islamabad’s relationship with the Haqqanis. Pakistan’s foreign minister warns that America risks “losing an ally”. American-Pakistani relations took a turn for the worse in late November 2011 when a NATOair attack killed 26 Pakistani soldiers in strikes against two military posts at the country’s northwestern border with Afghanistan. The death of Osama Bin Ladenand the circumstances that allowed him to reside quietly in a three-story house on the edge of the Pakistani town of Abbott Abad, which houses military garrisons, have sharply increased tensions between the American and Pakistani governments.
Pakistani compulsion and its geo-political location was well exploited by US for its own strategic needs. U.S otherwise needed a partner in South Asia, which could act as a counter weight against the spread of Communism. Indian refusal to become US ally in 1949 left US with no option, but to make Pakistan as its partner. Unfortunately, this strategic convergence of interests mostly benefited the United States. US got enough space for spying and limiting the activities of its ideological opponent, throughout during the period of cold war. During the entire duration of this partnership, the gains for Pakistan however, were less as compared to its sufferance. Now, once as a twist of history, there is a convergence of interests of both countries once again, let there be a realistic Pak-US partnership on the longer terms? This is only possible once both sides will respect each other’s interests on the basis of mutuality. The major partner will have to play the major role, as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton assured that, this time US would not abandon Pakistan.

“We do not merely destroy our enemies; we change them”

By Mahjabeen Mehboob Raja
Exclusive Article

Pakistan was founded on the basis of religious nationalism. Its other two neighbors Iran and Afghanistan were never professed as hostile states. But India as non-Muslim neighbor with whom Pakistan had fought a war in beginning of its creation has become a constant threat towards the national security of Pakistan. A high degree of mistrust and insecurity had shaped the political relations between India and Pakistan.

Regarding the issue of national security, Pakistan has embarked upon the policy of arms race since its creation. 60 years of its independence are wasted in this race of national security. Pakistan priorities are defence related not development related. The ‘stated’ defence budget for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2012 is likely to be Rs495 billion, an increase of Rs53 billion or 12 per cent over the previous year’s ‘stated’ budget
Defence budgets have never been debated in Parliament and are always assumed to be a given during the presentation of the annual money bill. Why are we least concerned about debating our defense budget in Parliament?? Is there no need of discussing it?? Or this is the sacred testimonial which cannot be touched??? In the case of India, he is also doing the same. Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee, presenting the 2011-2012 budget to parliament, set the military budget at just over 1.64 trillion rupees ($36.28 billion), up from last year’s 1.47 trillion rupees. Last year the increase was about 4 percent in military budget. India considers China as his greatest rival. China is the real long-term challenge on the strategic horizon and India’s security planning is geared toward it. India is also worried and anxious about sino-pak relations. Pakistan is uncomfortable over India’s propinquity to Afghanistan.
So the relationship between the two neighboring and hostile countries owes a great deal of mistrust. Terrorism, Indus water treaty and Kashmir Issue are the commonly used issues which hinders in bilateral relations and stumbling peace process between the two countries. November 2008 attacks were across Mumbai, India’s largest city. The sole captured terrorist, Ajmal Kasab claimed the attackers were of the Lashkar-e-Taiba, a Pakistan-based militant organisation. Apart from other permanent issues including the thorny dispute of Kashmir which has always been used by India to malign and pressurize Pakistan, water of rivers has become a matter of life and death for every Pakistani as New Delhi has continuously been employing it as a tool of terrorism to blackmail Pakistan. Indian diplomacy of water terrorism could also be judged from a latest development. Reports suggest that India has secretly offered technical assistance to the Afghan government in order to construct a dam over Kabul River which is a main water contributor to Indus River. Pakistan has already been facing with a continued phenomenon of terrorism like suicide attacks, bomblasts etc., committed by the militants who enter our country from Afghanistan where Indian secret intelligence agency, RAW has established training centers for anti-Pakistan activities.
Now granting India MFN status signals a shift in Pakistani Policy towards India. Recent developments like Pakistan’s decision to grant Most Favoured Nation status to India, Islamabad’s appreciation of the Indian cooperation to secure a permanent UN seat, and releasing the Indian Army helicopter that flew across the Line of Control suggests a sense of geniality. The MFN designation means that Pakistan will not impose any special barriers on its trade with India and will treat India as it treats any other country. India has already granted Pakistan MFN status.
Residents of Kashmir are concerned that granting India MFN status will put the Kashmir problem in abeyance. But in this case, it is Pakistan who has to decide its pros and cons. Islamic ideology has to get out of Indo-Pak relations; else problems will continue for ever. What to talk of Hindus, not even a single Indian Muslim supports the so called Kashmir cause. Therefore it’s the will of 180 million Pakistanis verses 1.20 billion Indians. Critical mass of India is so large that she can withstand problems like Kashmir but not Pakistan. Similar size insurgency will rip apart Pakistan, but not India. Therefore in any Indo-Pak conflict it will Pakistan who will suffer the most. Tis best to weigh the enemy more mighty than he seems.

What if I don’t win

By Mahjabeen Mehboob Raja
Oh my God, what if I don’t win?”
This is one of ours greatest fears while going to achieve something. Everything we do is to be successful but the fear of losing remains always the same. It grows big and becomes a monster one day and kills all our positive feelings regarding success. Those who take interest in playing Chess exactly know this that no one has ever won a game of chess by moving forward only, sometimes you have to move backward to get a better step forward. While reading one day about success I came across a saying of – Thomas J. Watson in which he beautifully explained the formula of success. I am sharing it with you people here.
 “Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It’s quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure. You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn’t at all. You can be discouraged by failure or you can learn from it, so go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because remember that’s where you will find success.” .”
Formula of success is different for everyone. But the people around you will always look for the outcome. When someone looks at our success he or she thinks it very big but they forget to count those little victories on which our success rests upon. Success does not come at once. It involves thousands of sleepless nights and unlimited dreams and obviously your strong determination and will power which stands by with you in those hard times, when people says O, you lost again? Always remember a successful campaign riddled with troubles and failures. People think that to achieve certain goals is success but success is journey which never ends you keep on going and achieving little victories. For example a person worth talented wins marathon race, people will appreciate him only for his success at the moment they will no more interested in the struggle he made to win this game nor they will think about the hardships which he faced .All successful people had faced hard times in their lives but people will look at how it turned out for them, in the end. Dale Carnegie wrote a best-selling book titled How to Win Friends and Influence People. One of the key premises of this book was that everyone’s favorite subject is actually themselves and that the sweetest sound to their ears is the sound of their own name.
What we tend to do is confirm our greatest fears and then overcome them. To win a race, you don’t necessarily have to do your best – to win a race; you simply have to do better than everyone else.Things may not start too well but your hard work and continuous struggle will make the ending a memorable one because “Winning isn’t everything, but the will to win is.” There is not one path to success, but many. Choose one, stay on it, and you’ll eventually reach your destination. All you have to own yourself with all successes and failures, work hard, stick to your aim and be optimistic that your are a champion and one day you will rise and shine.

Rational behind submitting this stuff is to contribute my little research for those who would be inducted as community welfare attaché.

Respectfully speaking, I need not to gain your sympathy or any benefit in return. The main reason for submitting this letter along with my work (that is in rough form), could have been in fair, if, I had computer and printer facility here in Islamabad. Sir, most of the hard workers prepare drafts for their exams and interviews and whenever they meet with failure or falling prey to hopeless category they destroy their useful stuff from which benefit can be taken.

Letter to NAB Chairman


                       Date: 23/11/2011
To,                                                                                
The Chairman
National Accountability Bureau 


Subject:  Recruitment Criteria in NAB for recent advertised jobs


Respected Sir,

                        It is to bring in your knowledge that eligibility criteria for recent jobs in National Accountability Bureau does not allow thousands of competent candidates of Pakistan that hold Masters degree in various disciplines such as International Relation ,Political Science, Criminology and Sociology to compete for the jobs. Restricting qualifications to MBA, BBA and LLB degrees would not be injustice with competent students who are looking for jobs on merit and intending to be an honest officer? For this, I have also written a letter in Dawn Newspaper that published on 23/11/2011 of which copy is also attached with this application.

Respected sir, finally and ultimately you have to decide what eligibility criteria should be for the announced jobs yet being one of the strivers and hard workers of Pakistan, I beg to request you that either allow all masters degree holders to apply for recent announced posts or conduct an open merit exam through Federal Public Service Commission so that competent and honest candidates be selected on merit and work as countrymen in NAB. 

                                                                                               
Yours obediently


WAQAR ABRO

Recruitment in NAB

My letter in Dawn Newspaper. Reason of writing this to benefit those students who possess Master's degree in different disciplines but always deprived of their right for various Jobs.
