Pakistan hükümeti nüfus kontrolü için Genelkurmay Başkanı'na başvurdu

Özet · AI üretimi

Pakistan federal hükümeti, üç yılı aşkın süredir başarısız olduğu nüfus artış hızını düşürme çabalarında yeni bir adım atarak Genelkurmay Başkanı Orgeneral Syed Asim Munir'den yardım istedi. Federal Sağlık Bakanı Syed Mustafa Kamal, Senato Ulusal Sağlık Hizmetleri Daimi Komitesi ile Senato Fonksiyonel Komitesi'nin ortak toplantısında bu kararı açıkladı. Ülke, yıllık yüksek nüfus artış oranıyla ekonomik ve sosyal baskılarla karşı karşıya. Önceki hükümetlerin aile planlaması ve bilinçlendirme kampanyaları istenen sonuçları vermedi. Orgeneral Munir'in hangi kapasiteyle sürece dahil olacağı açıklanmazken, ordunun lojistik ve organizasyon yeteneklerinden yararlanılabileceği değerlendiriliyor.

    Govt pins hopes on Field Marshal Munir to tackle population growth

    Islamabad, Pakistan

    ISLAMABAD: After failing to control the population growth for over three years, the federal government has now pinned hopes on Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir to play a role in curbing the population growth rate. This was disclosed by Federal Health Minister Syed Mustafa Kamal during a joint meeting of the Senate Standing Committee on National Health Services and the Senate Functional Committee on Human Rights on Thursday. Jointly chaired by Senators Amir Waliuddin Chishti and Samina Mumtaz Zehri, the meeting was held to discuss Pakistan’s growing population and the need for coordinated policy reforms. It is worth mentioning that Pakistan is the fifth most populous country and by 2030 it is set to become fourth by surpassing Indonesia. Briefing the committee, the minister said Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had convened several high-level meetings on population management and constituted a committee to address the issue. He said Field Marshal Munir was also a member of the committee, reflecting the government’s seriousness in tackling the rapid population growth. “The government is treating this issue with the highest priority and important policy decisions are being taken at every level,” he said, adding that the finance and planning ministers were also members of the committee. The minister said population management required both government action and public participation. He argued that the current National Finance Commission (NFC) Award formula, under which 82 per cent of resource distribution was based on population, unintentionally incentivised provinces to have higher population growth. “If a province succeeds in reducing its population growth, its NFC share declines, whereas a province with a larger population receives more funds,” he said, proposing that only 50pc of the NFC formula should be linked to population. The minister said one factor contributing to high birth rates had been the limited availability of contraceptives, adding that tax exemptions had now been granted on contraceptive products. He said Pakistan records around 6.7 million births annually and estimated that wider access to family planning could reduce annual population growth by about 1.5 million people. The committee members questioned whether population welfare remained a devolved subject following the 18th Constitutional Amendment. The minister confirmed that the subject had been transferred to the provinces, while lawmakers observed that federal decisions could not be imposed on provincial governments after devolution. The members called for legislation to curb unchecked population growth. However, representatives of the Ministry of Law informed the committee that parliament could not legislate on matters exclusively devolved to the provinces. A representative of the Council of Islamic Ideology told the meeting there was no sectarian disagreement on measures aimed at addressing rapid population growth. The committee directed the Ministry of Law, religious scholars and relevant parliamentary committees to hold consultations to develop a consensus-based strategy. Another joint meeting is expected in the coming days. Balochistan nursing scholarship Senator Jan Mohammad raised concerns about a scholarship programme under which 150 students from Balochistan were sent to Islamabad, including 47 nursing students admitted to the Health Services Academy. He alleged that the students spent two years in Islamabad before learning that the promised nursing degree programme did not exist and that the diploma being offered was not recognised by the Pakistan Nursing Council. He said the World Bank had already paid Rs36 million for the project and called for an investigation, alleging official negligence and terming it an injustice to Balochistan. Responding to the concerns, Mr Kamal assured the committee that the matter would be resolved within a week, saying the government would not allow injustice to students from Balochistan. The committee also called for the directors general of health and nursing in Balochistan to appear before it to explain the issue. The meeting was attended by Senators Quratul Ain Marri, Anusha Rahman Ahmed Khan, Shahzaib Durrani, Nasir Mehmood, Poonjo Bheel, Attaul Haq, Syed Masroor Ahsan and senior officials from the relevant ministries and departments.

    Senate body clears blue passport for ex-legislators’ kids

    Islamabad, Pakistan

    • Former lawmakers’ spouses, children under 28 to get entitlement if bill becomes law • FBR resists placing officers on ECL in Rs250m cigarette theft case • Panel questions FBR probe for blaming junior staff • Inquiry committee to be set up in Islamabad girl’s alleged forced marriage case • Senators raise concerns over misuse of official security personnel ISLAMABAD: A Senate panel on Friday unanimously approved a bill seeking to allow the issuance of blue passports to dependent children under the age of 28 of ex-members of parliament, bringing them in line with the existing entitlement available to dependent children of retired Grade-22 government officers. The Members of Parliament Salaries and Allowances (Amend­ment) Bill, 2026, was introduced as a private member’s bill by Senator Abdul Qadir and approved by the Senate Standing Committee on Interior and Narcotics Control during a meeting chaired by Senator Faisal Saleem Rahman. Minister of State for Interior Muhammad Talal Chaudhry supported the passage of the bill and said the recommendations would be placed before the cabinet for finalisation by the competent authority. During deliberations, members discussed the implications of the passport policy, including its possible impact on Pakistan’s international passport ranking, before unanimously approving the proposed legislation for the onward legislative process. The committee also took up the scandal involving the disappearance of cigarettes worth Rs250 million from Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) godowns in Swabi and Mardan, which took a contentious turn after FBR officials told the panel that the names of officers allegedly involved could not be placed on the Exit Control List before completion of legal proceedings. During the meeting, FBR officials also said investigative agencies were required to seek the department’s permission before initiating inquiries against FBR officers. They argued that ECL placement could only follow due legal process. Committee members rejected the position, stressing that accountability institutions must be allowed to work independently. They also questioned the FBR’s internal probe, which pinned responsibility on junior employees, and noted that while the FIR was registered by FBR officers, the department had not fully cooperated with police investigators. The panel expressed serious reservations over the FBR’s fact-finding report. Despite no signs of forced entry — no broken doors, walls or windows — the report attributed the loss to a watchman, a peon and a driver. “This amounts to making junior staff scapegoats while shielding senior officials,” members observed. The chairman informed the committee that the FIA’s inquiry had identified a deputy collector, two officials and two inspectors as allegedly involved. When asked why the suspects had not been placed on the ECL, FIA officials said the matter was still at the inquiry stage and had been transferred to the Islamabad Zone. FBR officials could not confirm whether the subcommittee’s earlier recommendation to place the officers on the ECL had been implemented, saying the authority rested with the FIA. The FIA assured the committee that it would verify the status. The committee also reviewed the policy on allocation of non-custom-paid and tampered vehicles to government departments. FBR officials said such vehicles were allotted under court orders to departments and posts, not individuals. While the FBR previously handled allocations, the responsibility would now shift to the Cabinet Division. Vehicles already with police and other departments would remain with them as per Supreme Court orders. The committee asked the FBR to submit a complete list of all non-custom-paid vehicles allocated so far and questioned whether future allocations would require fresh cabinet approval. The committee also reviewed security arrangements for Senator Saifullah Abro. The interior secretary said the Threat Assessment Committee had referred the matter to relevant agencies and Islamabad security had been finalised, but clearance for Frontier Constabulary personnel was pending. The members noted with concern that security in Sindh was still not in place despite earlier directions. The chairman warned that the Sindh IGP would be summoned and the matter could be sent to the Privileges Committee if not resolved. Senator Abro said he had submitted the names of preferred personnel two months ago, but no notification had been issued. DIG Larkana assured the committee that the names would be reviewed. Abduction, forced marriage The panel also discussed the alleged abduction and forced marriage case of a girl from Islamabad. SP City Dr Ayaz Hussain said an FIR was registered on May 5, a marriage certificate was on record and the woman, aged over 18, had sought court protection and recorded a statement under Section 164 in Khanewal. The committee decided that the minister of state for interior would constitute a three-member inquiry committee, including one female officer of Grade 18 and two male officers, headed by an officer not below Grade 20, to examine whether the marriage was consensual and whether further legal action was needed. The committee also discussed issues relating to law and order, public security and policing. The members highlighted concerns over the misuse of official security personnel, particularly the assignment of security details to private individuals, and called for improved oversight, accountability and effective utilisation of police resources in the public interest. The meeting was attended by Senators Shahadat Awan, Naseema Ehsan, Samina Mumtaz Zehri, Umar Farooq, Palwasha Mohammad Yousaf Zai, Muhammad Talha Mehmood, Mohammad Abdul Qadir, Saifullah Abro and Mir Dostain Khan Domki.
