Change in interior ministry hot spot


ISLAMABAD, June 30: Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani appointed Khawaja Mohammad Siddique Akbar as interior secretary on Thursday in place of Maj (retd) Qamar Zaman who was transferred to the Ministry of States and Frontier Regions.

Mr Akbar, a district management group officer, was working as secretary of the now devolved Ministry of Minorities’ Affairs.

States and Frontier Regions Secretary Habibullah Khattak has been posted as chairman of the Pakistan Tobacco Board in Peshawar.

According to sources in the establishment division, the change of the interior secretary is an important development at a time when the government is embroiled in several issues like the National Investment Corporation scam, killing of a youth by Rangers in Sindh and the Kharotabad incident. The interior secretary will have a role in all these cases. He will also provide secretarial support to the Abbottabad judicial inquiry commission.

The sources said Mr Zaman did not have a good working relationship with Interior Minister Rehman Malik who had criticised his conduct.

In December 2009, the prime minister suspended Mr Zaman after Defence Minister Ahmed Mukhtar was barred from boarding a flight to China by FIA officials. The minister was told that his name was on the Exit Control List (ECL) following the Supreme Court’s verdict against the National Reconciliation Ordinance.

Later, an inquiry proved that Mr Zaman had no role in the action and his suspension was revoked.

Default Sindh to revive commissionerate system

Sindh to revive commissionerate system


News Desk
Saturday, July 09, 2011


ISLAMABAD: President Asif Ali Zardari on Friday allowed the provincial government to urgently revive the commissionerate system in Sindh and make suitable amendments in the law relating to the local government system to make the local administration more responsive to the emerging challenges of law and order in the city and province.

The decision was taken during a high-level meeting held at the Presidency on Friday, jointly chaired by President Zardari and Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani, to review the alarming law and order situation in Karachi.

The revival of the commissionerate system in Karachi was a bone of contention between the PPP and now that the MQM has left the coalition, the government has decided to revive the system. But, at the same time, the government has left the door of reconciliation with the MQM ajar by deciding to appoint Manzoor Wasan as Home Minister Sindh in place of Dr Zulfiqar Mirza.

Dr Mirza will now look after the department of services and works. The Sindh government will issue a notification in this regard today (Saturday). Both Manzoor Wasan and Dr Zulfiqar Mirza were present in the meeting at the Presidency.

Farhatullah Babar, the presidential spokesperson, told the media after the meeting that chief minister Sindh and the interior minister briefed the meeting about the situation in Karachi and that decisions were taken in the light of the briefing given by the provincial chief minister. He said it was also decided that law and order in Karachi would be maintained at all costs.

Babar said the meeting decided that judges would be appointed to the vacant posts of anti-terror courts and the prosecution branch would be beefed up to provide an effective legal framework for dealing with criminals and lawless elements.

The president, while taking notice of the recent wave of killings in Karachi, directed the interior minister to proceed to Karachi and coordinate with provincial authorities in dealing with the law and order situation. The interior minister also briefed the meeting about his talks with law enforcing agencies.

Farhatullah Babar said the meeting expressed concerns over the recent spate of killings in Karachi and the president directed provincial authorities to take necessary steps for restoring peace in the city and bringing terrorists to book regardless of their political affiliations, if any.

The president said that the government would not allow anyone to take the law into their own hands and would use all possible means to ensure the safety and security of the people. The president also called upon the political leadership of Karachi to complement the government’s efforts in restoring peace in the city and bringing miscreants to justice. The meeting also sympathised and condoled with the families of victims.

Chief Minister Sindh Syed Qaim Ali Shah, provincial ministers Pir Mazhar-ul-Haq, Syed Murad Ali Shah, Manzoor Hussain Wasan, Nawab Mir Nadir Ali Khan Magsi, Agha Siraj Durrani, Zulfiqar Ali Mirza, Faryal Talpur, Interior Minister Rehman Malik, Minister for Water and Power Syed Naveed Qamar, Minister for Religious Affairs Syed Khursheed Shah and Dr Babar Awan were amongst those who attended the meeting.

  • To increase international understanding and awareness of women in
  • international police peacekeeping and the UN International Female Police
  • Peacekeepers Network;
  • To recognize the outstanding accomplishments of a female police
  • peacekeeper.

The award is organized in collaboration with the International Association of Women Police (IAWP) Awards programme and delivered during the annual conference of the IAWP.

2011 Award Recipient

Deputy Superintendent Shahzadi Gulfam (Pakistan) serving in the United Nations Mission in Timor-Leste (UNMIT).

Assisting the Vulnerable

The United Nations Police Division in the Office of Rule of Law and Security Institutions (OROLSI), Department of Peacekeeping Operations (DPKO), and the International Association of Women Police (IAWP) International Scholarship Committee are very proud to announce the recipient of the 2011 International Female Police Peacekeeper Award, Deputy Superintendent Shahzadi Gulfam from Pakistan. She is currently deployed in the United Nations Mission in Timor-Leste (UNMIT) as the United Nations Police (UNPOL) Team Leader posted in the Timor-Leste National Police (PNTL) Vulnerable Persons Unit (VPU) in the capital Dili.

After completing her studies, Officer Gulfam joined the Punjab Police in March 1985. During her professional police career of over two decades, she performed equally well at the national and international level. In Pakistan working for the Investigation Unit she supervised 150 police officers conducting criminal investigations. Later she worked in the Punjab Highway Patrol and organized traffic awareness courses for the general public. She played a key role in improving the Traffic System in the province by strictly implementing discipline to curb illegal practices and protect vulnerable citizens from corrupt police officers.

Officer Gulfam was the first female police officer to represent Pakistan when she was deployed in the UN Mission in Bosnia-Herzegovina in 1997. She has subsequently served in UN Missions in Kosovo in 1999 and Timor-Leste in 2007.

While serving as a Recruitment and Selection coordinator for Kosovo Police Service (KPS) with United Nations Mission in Kosovo (1999-2001) Officer Gulfam used to visit the schools and colleges in rural areas to reach out to women and motivate them to join the police service, which had very few female officers at the time. She explained the role of police, the added value of a gender balanced service and the impact that women can make. She is proud to have contributed to the national and international efforts to increase the number of female officers in KPS at its inception. By 2010, there were over 1,000 female police officers in this service.

Officer Gulfam was redeployed in 2010 in the United Nations Mission in Timor-Leste (UNMIT).

“UNPOL Shahzadi Gulfam has shown enthusiasm, diligence and zeal in her work with the Vulnerable Persons Unit in Dili. Sadly in post-conflict Timor-Leste domestic violence is a common crime and victims often find it difficult to file complaints,” says UNMIT Police Commissioner Luis Carillho and adds that “despite these difficulties Officer Gulfam has played an exceptional role in supporting and protecting vulnerable persons”.

In her current capacity, UNPOL Officer Gulfam is responsible for facilitating the referrals to shelter and medical assistance to victims of domestic violence, as well as for reporting on missing persons and human trafficking. Her duties include liaising with the Justice Ministry to provide legal redress to victims. She also coordinates with health institutions on the provision of psychological support to victims. As a team leader she assesses the quality of service offered at shelters for vulnerable people who experienced violence.

Officer Gulfam has played an exceptional role in bringing suspects to the courts of law and providing justice to the needy. When she joined the Vulnerable Persons Unit (VPU) a total of 411 cases were pending investigation since 2007. “And in one year after great effort I helped to solve 72 pending cases,” explained Gulfam.

She was instrumental in involving a number of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in efficiently assisting victims of sexual assault and abuse. In addition, she has diligently carried out awareness programmes regarding the new Timorese law that criminalized domestic violence that was approved in May 2010.

By visiting remote areas of Timor-Leste, Officer Gulfam again serves as a role-model for local girls and women inspiring them to join the national police service.

The International Female Police Peacekeeper Award will be delivered at the opening ceremony of the International Association of Women Police (IAWP) annual training conference on 21 August 2011 in Lexington, Kentucky, USA. Twelve award applications, which represent female police officers from 11 countries serving in seven United Nations peace missions worldwide, were submitted for this competitive award.

DSP is not a civil servant according to the definition of civil servant by Civil Servant Act 1973.However, her contribution merits this award.

I just re-read the definition and there is no mention of specific posts to be considered as a "civil servant". Maybe my understanding is wrong and maybe you can elaborate?

The definition I used is as follows.
b) “civil servant” means a person who is a member of an All-Pakistan Service or of a civil service of the Federation, or who holds a civil post in connection with the affairs of the Federation, including any such post connected with defence, but does include-
(i) a person who is on deputation to the Federation from any Province or other authority;
(ii) a person who is employed on contract, or on work-charged basis or who is paid from contingencies; or
(iii) a person who is “worker” or “workman” as defined in the Factories Act, (XXV of 1934), or the Workman’s Compensation Act, 1923 (VIII of 1923):
Thanks.

You have followed the correct definition and the answer is also given.There is a difference between civil servant and government servant.A civil servant is the employee of federation.Federal government to be precise.APUG (DMG,PSP,SG) officers are member of all Pakistan service.Other occupational group officers are members of civil service and those who hold posts in the federation are civil servants.Like wise civilians who are working in defence organisations on permanent Basic Pay Scale basis are civil servants.However,it excludes those on contract,semi-government or autonomous bodies.Like wise, the provincial service officers or those hired by the province are not civil servants.In principle,every civil servant is a government servant but not all government servants are civil servants.PSP officers are civil servants but DSP or provincial police officers are government servants.The above mentioned DSP was recruited in Punjab Police not Police Service of Pakistan that is why she is not a civil servant but a government servant.

I hope that I might have cleared my point a bit.This was just to sensitize the aspirants here the difference between Civil Servant and Government Servant and should not be construed to belittle her contribution or to create a sense of discrimination.Just for academic purpose.

Thanks

Got it, much thanks and apologies for the delayed response. My understanding of the term civil servants was a little internationalized (for a the lack of a better term) as all office bearers of the UN are civil servants and like wise in the US I think even fire fighters are civil servants. However, understanding things in Pakistan's context is important and I am grateful for your explanation.

Regards.

The ICS served Pakistan well
By Arun Bhatnagar
4th of September, 2011.



When Nirmal Kumar Mukarji, the last serving Indian Civil Service (ICS) officer in India retired as Cabinet Secretary in 1980, the curtain finally came down on a Service which Pandit Motilal Nehru described in 1907 as “the greatest of the services in the world which has produced some of the most distinguished builders of the British Empire”.

Mukarji’s fellow-recruits by competitive examination in India in the last intake of the ICS in 1943 included three Muslims:
Aftab Ghulam Nabi (AGN) Kazi, Agha Shahi and M. Riazuddin Ahmed. They, like a majority of the Muslim ICS, opted for Pakistan in 1947. Kazi was born in Sindh in 1919 and commenced his innings in the ICS in Bihar and Orissa. His career of over half a century made him the longest serving civil servant in Pakistan.

Hailing from Mysore, Agha Shahi was connected with the family of the Diwan, Sir Mirza Ismail. Alongside his brother, Agha Hilaly (ICS, 1936), he was a pillar of Pakistan’s foreign service establishment and became Foreign Secretary in 1973.

The movement of the Muslim ICS towards alignment with the Muslim League and the demand for Pakistan developed gradually. While, on the whole, the Muslim ICS had never been pro-Congress, they were neither predominantly pro-Muslim League until 1945-46 when Indian politics polarised sharply. By the end of 1946, most ICS Indians in the Central Government were either pro-Congress or pro-Muslim League.

Ironically enough, the Pakistan protagonists in the senior bureaucracy on the eve of transfer of power were led by the Audit and Accounts Service, chiefly Chaudhri Muhammad Ali, a finance officer of exceptional merit and integrity who was appointed the first Secretary-General of the Government of Pakistan, becoming Finance Minister in 1951 and Prime Minister in 1955-56.

By virtue of the pre-eminent position of the ICS in the governance of colonial India, this elite group soon established its grip over the administration. It was assisted by European officers who opted for Pakistan in numbers higher than in India. While Pakistan remained considerably short of manpower, those who were available were imbued with the British administrative tradition and quickly replicated it, down to the strict recruitment standards and high-quality training institutions.

At Partition, three of the four provincial governors were ICS Europeans: Sir Francis Mudie (Punjab), Sir Frederick Bourne (East Bengal) and Sir George Cunningham (NWFP). In 1950, seven of the top civilians in Pakistan were still European.

Mohammed Ikramullah (ICS, CP & Berar) served with distinction as the first Foreign Secretary. His wife, Begum Shaista Suhrawardy Ikramullah, an accomplished author and essayist, was active in the Muslim League and was one of the two women representatives in the Constituent Assembly of Pakistan. Aziz Ahmed, the first Chief Secretary in the eastern wing, was also Foreign Secretary; the other ICS Foreign Secretaries included J.A. Rahim, Mirza Sikandar Ali Baig and S.K. Dehlavi, (ICS, Bihar, 1938).

An outstanding civil servant, Akhter Husain received his early education at the Hakimia High School, Burhanpur (Central Provinces) and graduating from the Allahabad University, he entered the ICS becoming Chief Secretary in the undivided Punjab in 1946-47, Secretary, Ministry of Defence, Governor of West Pakistan and a Federal Minister.

The Muslim ICS who opted for Pakistan came from virtually every province of British India; these included A.T. Naqvi, S. Ghias-ud-Din Ahmed, H.A. Majid, Syed Fida Hasan, M.R. Kayani, S.H. Raza, Abdul Majeed, Naseer Ahmad Faruqui, Mirza Muzaffar (M M) Ahmad, Shaikh Nazrul Bakar (originally of the Bihar cadre, he had to retire prematurely because of a clash with Aziz Ahmed who emerged as the Deputy Chief Martial Law Administrator in 1958), Shahabuddin Rahmatullah, Asghar Ali, M.M. Niaz, Qamar-ul-Islam and Qudratullah Shahab.

Kayani (ICS, Punjab, 1927) was the Chief Justice of West Pakistan from 1958 to 1962. He was not elevated to the Supreme Court because of his open criticism of the military authorities.

Ghulam Mueenuddin, (ICS, Punjab, 1930) was Secretary of the Establishment Division and, later, the Chief Election Commissioner. He was a principal negotiator of the Indus Waters Treaty (1960) and is the father of Daniyal Mueenuddin, the Pakistani-American author of the widely acclaimed short story collection “In Other Rooms, Other Wonders”.

M.M. Ahmad joined the ICS in 1939 and, at one stage of his career, was arguably the most influential civil servant in Pakistan with supervisory authority over three ministries.

Four Chief Justices of the Supreme Court of Pakistan had their origins in the ICS, namely, Muhammad Shahabuddin (1960), A.R. Cornelius (1960-68), S.A. Rahman (1968) and Sheikh Anwarul Haq (1977-81). Justice Shahabuddin (ICS, 1921) was born in Ellore (Madras) and was a Judge of the High Court there; after Partition, he was appointed as a Judge of the Dacca High Court. Justice Cornelius entered the ICS in 1926 and was a Judge of the Lahore High Court. Post-1947, he was a founding father of Pakistan cricket and is the recipient of Hilal-i-Pakistan.

On the other hand, there were amongst others, Sahibzada Khurshid Ahmed Khan, Chief Commissioner, Delhi in 1947 and son of a co-founder of the AMU and Syed Hasan Zaheer (son of Sir Wazir Hasan who was President of the All India Muslim League in 1936) opted for India. In the Punjab cadre, two Muslim ICS, BFHB Tyabji (of the family of the first Muslim President of the Indian National Congress, a Sulaimani Bohra) and M. Azim Hussain (son of Sir Fazle Hussain) chose to serve in India while Cornelius and Burke, both Indian Christians, opted for Pakistan.

Till he died at the age of 104, Samuel Martin Burke (1906-2010) was an ICS officer who outlived many others. He belonged to the 1930 batch and later quit the ICS but was recalled by the Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah to join the foreign service.

Then there was Dr Akhtar Hameed Khan (1914-1999) who is widely credited with pioneering micro-credit initiatives, farmers’ cooperatives and rural training programmes in the developing world. A son-in-law of Allama Mashriqi, his particular contribution was the establishment of a comprehensive project for rural development, the Comilla Model (1959) which earned him the Ramon Magsaysay Award.

The eighty-one ICS officers who opted for service in Pakistan helped immeasurably in providing an administrative structure which kept things going in the early years. Many of them were from northern India or from the Bengal cadre of the ICS and formed the core of a new central service called the Pakistan Administrative Service (PAS) which was later rechristened as the Civil Service of Pakistan (CSP).

In August, 1973, Prime Minister Z. A. Bhutto unveiled civil service reforms, saying that a new system was being put in place in which all services and cadres, including the remaining ICS officers and their successors in the CSP, would be merged into one service with equality of opportunity for all. It is interesting to note that a founding member of the Pakistan People’s Party was an ICS man, Jalaluddin Abdur (JA) Rahim whose German-born wife, Esther Rahim, was a well-known painter and contributed significantly to the setting up of the Karachi Arts Council.

The writer joined the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) in 1966 and retired as Secretary, Government of India. bhatnagar66@gmail.com

New Delhi, Sep 8 (PTI) Allah Bakhsh Malik, a Pakistani education official, today received the International Confucius Prize of UNESCO from the President Pratibha Patil at a function here to mark the Literacy Day.

"Malik, who is Secretary, Punjab Literacy and Basic Education Department, has been conferred with the award in recognition of his meritorious services in the field of education and literacy and is the first Pakistani recipient of the coveted award," a Pakistan High Commission release said.

"He has introduced foundation assisted schools for affordable quality education in public-private partnership, which have been replicated in many other countries. One of his innovative ideas was the introduction of the Educational Voucher Scheme in the urban slums of the Punjab province," it said.

Malik holds a PhD in development economics and belongs to the 1985 batch of the Civil Service of Pakistan. The award was instituted by UNESCO in 2005 for recognition of outstanding innovative contributions in the field of education and literacy.
