The Constitution of 1973 addressed the issues of federal-provinces relationship with promising arrangements. Under the 8th and 17th Amendments in the 1973 Constitution, powers of the President were increased. In the general elections 2008, the PPP emerged as the largest political party in the National Assembly and formed the coalition Federal Government. The Special Parliamentary Committee for Constitutional Reform (SPCCR) was formed under the Chairmanship of Senator Raza Rabbani. The Parliament passed the 18th Amendment Bill by more than the two-thirds majority. A consensus was shown by the political parties on the 18th Amendment. The process of restructuring of federalism in Pakistan under the 18th Amendment was a significant development which needed to be properly examined. The political leadership in the Parliament showed extensive consensus and political maturity over the 18th Amendment. The amendment ensured parliamentary democracy and provincial autonomy.It has enhanced role of the elected representatives. The reversal of the discretionary powers of the President at the Federal level and the Governor at the Provincial level is a positive step. Role of the opposition has been recognized in appointment of the Judges of the Superior Courts and formation of the interim government at the Federal level and the Provincial level. The 18th Constitutional Amendment delivers us optimism towards the settlement of major issues of federalism. Seventeen Federal ministries were devolved to the provinces under the 18th Amendment. The Federal Government also created new federal ministries. It is noteworthy that new ministries are performing functions almost like of their predecessors. There is also a centralization tendency at the Federal level and the Provincial level. Two Provinces (Punjab and Sindh) deliberately delayed the conduct of local government elections that is a negative sign and shows centralization tendency of the said provinces. The issues of federalism under the 18th and the 20th Amendments have been examined in great detail. In past, the power of the central government to legislate included in the CLL was rationalized. Previously, the CLL had 47 items. The circumstances that eventually led to the abolishment of the CLL have been examined. The study is based on a detailed analysis of the 18th and the 20th Amendments. Under the 18th Amendment, seventeen ministries had been devolved to the provinces. The main issue is implementation of the aforesaid amendments. Implementation of the 18th and the 20th Amendments has also been examined. This issue of federalism was very significant and therefore required a comprehensive study. Hopefully this study will add to the existing body of knowledge on the subject. Qualitative research method has been utilized for this study. The research consists of five chapters.

مُلاّ جان محمد
افسوس ہے گذشتہ مہینہ ہمارے دومخلص قومی کارکن ملاجان محمدکلکتہ اورمولانا محمد عاقل الٰہ آباد انتقال کرگئے۔ملا صاحب کااصل وطن پشاور تھالیکن عرصہ دراز سے کلکتہ میں آبسے تھے اوراب سچ مچ وہی ان کاوطن تھا۔نہایت پُرجوش،جری اوربیباک انسان تھے۔گذشتہ نصف صدی میں کوئی قومی اور ملی تحریک ایسی نہیں ہے جس میں انہوں نے بڑھ چڑھ کراورولولہ و عزم کے ساتھ حصہ نہ لیا ہو۔ ان کی علمی زندگی کاآغاز تحریک خلافت سے ہوا اوراختتام مجلس مشاورت پر۔کلکتہ میں شاید ہی کوئی مسلم ادارہ(یہاں تک کہ محمڈن اسپورٹنگ کلب بھی) ایسا ہوجس میں ملاصاحب نے نمایاں حصہ نہ لیاہو۔اسی وجہ سے وہ کلکتہ کے لوگوں میں بے حد مقبول تھے۔ بڑے بے غرض،بے لوث اورنہایت سادہ اورمخلص مسلمان تھے۔۱۹۵۰ء میں کلکتہ کے فساد میں لوگوں نے ان کو بچوں کی طرح چیختے اور روتے دیکھا ہے۔ عمر۸۵ سال کے قریب تھی۔ [نومبر ۱۹۷۲]

 

حق المرأة في ادارة أملاكھا التجارية في الإسلام

Islam has given the dignity to women more than as it is given by any other religious or social system. This dignity covers almost every fiedld of life. Business is also one of these fields, where Islam has provided a variety of oppurtunities. Basic sources of Islam, that are, Quran and Hadith elaborated all these rights of women. The right of being a business-woman as provided by Islam is based on the one of the basic principals of Islam, that is, equality of oppurtunities without taking into consideration the gender of a member of the society. A woman can exercise all these rights as a man can. Women are the other half of the society and without which life cannot be imiginated on its peak. It is imperitive to mention here that women are playing a pivotal role in the development of any country/society and it is impossible to achive advancement without the participation of women. In this article, different kinds of rights that are given to women in an Islamic system such as policital, financial, health, educational, social and family rights, are being dicussed in detail. An exculsive foxus remained on business related rights of a woman.

Molecular Characterization of Local Human Extraintestinal Escherichia Coli Isolates

Extraintestinal pathogenic E.coli are major pathogens responsible for causing urinary tract infections. These are associated with multiple drug resistance (MDR) and high virulence. A triplex PCR was employed to segregate each isolate into different phylogenetic groups. Among fifty nine uropathogenic E.coli isolates majority belonged to phylogenetic group B2 (50%) where as 19% each belonged to groups A and B1, and 12% to group D. Phylogenetic group D isolates were found to be less frequent but harbored multiple drug resistance and virulence related genes to a greater extent. Drug resistance was evaluated by disc diffusion method and relevant drug resistance gene detection. It was found that most effective drugs were gentamicin and amikacin among aminoglycosides; aztreonam, ceftriaxone, cefoperazone and cefixime among β lactams, and ciprofloxacin among quinolones. Streptomycin, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, tetracycline and nalidixic acid were relatively ineffective. Chloramphenicol was found to be very effective for urinary tract infections. Highly prevalent drug resistance gene was mutated gyrA (83%) followed by tem (46%), bltTEM (41%), tetB (34%), catP (31%), and tem β lactamase (15%); blaSHV and tetA were not detected. Among virulence related genes most prevalent was hlyA (37%) followed by sfaDE (27%), papC (24%), cnf1 (20%), eae A (19%) and afaBC3 (14%). Some of isolates were highly hemolytic to human erythrocytes and some were highly cytotoxic to Vero cells. Highly hemolytic isolates mainly belonged to group D, where as highly verotoxic isolates belonged to group B2 followed by group D. It was also noted that in cnf1 negative isolates cytotoxicity was related to papC, sfaDE, afaBC3, eae A and hlyA genes.
