POLITICAL AND CONSTITUTIONAL HISTORY OF PAKISTAN 1947-1958 2222.pptxFasihRehman28
This document provides an overview of the political and constitutional history of Pakistan from 1947 to 1958. It lists the prime ministers and governor generals during this period and some of the major policies and issues Pakistan faced, including early problems establishing infrastructure and government, riots and refugees from the partition, disputes over dividing assets with India, the Kashmir war, and conflicts over water rights. It also describes the Objective Resolution of 1949, the constitutions of 1956 and 1962, and some of their key features.
Field Marshal Muhammad Ayub Khan became Pakistan's first military dictator and second president after taking power in a bloodless coup in 1958. As president, he introduced various economic and political reforms but faced opposition over perceived favoritism towards West Pakistan. His presidency also saw the 1965 war with India and the Tashkent Declaration that ended hostilities. Facing growing public resentment, especially from East Pakistan, Ayub resigned in 1969 and handed power to General Yahya Khan.
1. Pakistan was divided from India in 1947, with Urdu declared the sole national language against Bengali protests.
2. In 1952, three students were killed in East Pakistan protests against Urdu, becoming symbols of resistance.
3. The first East Pakistan elections in 1954 saw the Awami League and other parties form a united front winning most seats. However the governor general soon dismissed this government.
4. The 1956 constitution established parity between East and West Pakistan and recognized Bengali as a national language, ending the early period of constitutional development.
Pakistan gained independence in 1947 as a sovereign state, with Muhammad Ali Jinnah elected as the first President of Pakistan's Constituent Assembly. In 1949, the Assembly adopted the Objective Resolution to provide guidance for a future constitution based on Islamic ideology. Prime Minister Liaquat Ali Khan was assassinated in 1951. Subsequent decades saw military coups, the formation of new political parties like the Pakistan Peoples Party, a war leading to the independence of Bangladesh, and changes to Pakistan's constitution in 1973. General elections were scheduled for May 2013 after the completion of the previous National Assembly's term.
This slide I made for my History course presentation to describe about Ayub Khan and the 11 Points Programme. In this slide, I also focus on the primary reason behind the fall of the Ayub regime.
The Constitution of 1962 established Pakistan as an Islamic Republic with a presidential system that centralized power in the president. It included Islamic provisions like requiring the president and laws to adhere to Islamic principles. However, it was abrogated in 1969 when President Ayub Khan imposed martial law and transferred power to General Yahya Khan, leading to elections and the eventual separation of East Pakistan.
The document summarizes the complex relationship between India and Pakistan over several decades since partition in 1947. It touches on the disputed region of Kashmir and the wars fought between the two countries, as well as periods of both tension and attempts at diplomacy. More recently, rising tensions over terrorist attacks have led the new Indian Prime Minister Modi to pursue isolating Pakistan diplomatically, such as through discussions at the BRICS summit. Pakistan continues to deny involvement in the attacks.
Mountbatten came to India in March 1947 as a British naval officer to oversee the transition to independence. The plan for separating India and Pakistan was announced on June 23rd 1947. The first election for Pakistan's Constituent Assembly was held in 1946. Malik Ghulam Muhammad held the finance portfolio in Pakistan's first 7-member cabinet.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17Celine George
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.
