institutions of criminal justice system
can you name them yes sir there’s a
police
prison judiciary prosecution prohibition
and these are the institutions briefly
tell me what are the salient features of
1973 constitution of pakistan
yes a 1973 constitution gives us
the certain type of political system and
where
it’s the parliamentary form of
government is the written constitution
it’s a federal form of government we
have an obvious
fundamental rights and
what are your comments about the
performance of this political government
this political gun sir this government
is performing
it has certain in a good perspective
certainly
and in some perspective the government
is not performing
performing accordingly what it this
government has
promised before the elections like here
now
our economy is moving towards a
positive trajectory secondly and
the various programs like the essa’s
emergency cage program that is good in
this coronavirus disease
and secondly we have and to some extent
we have
gained certain objectives in our foreign
policy a
platform and thirdly our initiative
regarding cpec we
are going towards we are gaining
benefits from the project
and the recent last month last two three
months we have seen there was a conflict
between
azerbaijan and armenia
what was the reason for that conflict
there was a war
yes sir the main reason for this
conflict was the territory that is
inside azerbaijan nagorno-karabakh
it was a territory data survey jungle
and it’s mine basically it’s
azerbaijan’s territory
but the people who are living there the
armenians so armenia saying that though
the people are majority armenians are
living there
so this is our territory so and the
sixth seventh divorce was prevalent
there
finally and azerbaijan has won the war
and now it’s the part of azerbaijan in
last two three months we have seen that
almost india and china they were at the
brinka for
what are the issues so the main issue
between india and china is a border
issue
and a line of actual control where china
saying
and has claimed regarding the area
india saying it’s my territory so
therefore it doesn’t emerge there and
more than 20
soldiers of india were killed pakistan a
heart country
this is one of the
book you have read what is the central
theme of this book
the central theme of this book here
anatoly and he’s saying that
there are various perceptions about
pakistan in the western world like
pakistan
it’s a failing state so in this book and
the author is saying that pakistan is
not a felony state
though there are certain difficulties
economic issues and terrorism issues and
other
issues here in pakistan but pakistan is
not a failing
state pakistan is doing well in certain
perspective so if there are no
interventions
inter internationally inside pakistan
then pakistan will not fail
who is the author of this book and i
don’t live in
another it is not mentioned here
the pass is your first choice pakistan
administrative services
so what functions are performed by the
deputy commissioner
the deputy commissioner performs various
range of functions
they meant the primary function is to
control the district
who is the deputy commissioner is head
of ranking from the various
issues implementations the laws and
regulatory functions
and issues regarding the land record and
the law and security situation
along with the police of the area and
other security issues
which are the happening inside the
surprise checking
and all these issues and
and the how will you or
how you describe patwari culture and how
you
how will you counter it separate but
very culture is prevalent in pakistan
where
there are certain and the but very
mainly the
culture that is not certain there are
difficulties man they are taking pride
and they are not recording the land
accordingly
so this is a bad habit to curtail this
digitalization is a good solution the
land the recorded lane should be
digitalized according to the
owner they are holding the lane
district administration performs
functions
so how the performance of a district
contributes towards the overall
governance of the state
so when the district is governed
according to the rules of the country
then the people living out there have a
peaceful life then it’s contributing
against the governance of the state
the basic level the governance is good
then again it’s contributing to the
larger extent the government is
functioning well when the district is
functioning
not according to their will of the
people are according to the
law then we cannot expect the whole
country to be
ruled accordingly pakistan custom
service is your
second choice yes sir so what functions
are performed by the customs department
sir custom department basically is
dealing with that all the issues and
border issues regarding the smuggling of
goods item
smuggling of are those contraband items
they are
actually to tackle all these issues
within the border issues they all are
happening here
only only they only
are doing anti-smuggling
this is only one of the main functions
performed by custom department
they are also creating revenues helping
in the
enhancing of the budget means not easily
forget humiliation that is
that is your weakness
what do you mean by this not easily
forget humiliation
sir this means when someone behaves
badly
to me then it’s difficult for me to
easily forget that
situation i cannot come out from this
situation easily
so my criteria is i behave with people
in a bad manner in return i expect them
to behave with me accordingly
britain has an unwritten constitution
how is it possible
that a country like britain is being run
without a written constitution
sir it is not necessary for a
constitution to be written
so return is a good example in front of
us where we have
and the conventions they are actually
there they are practiced for many years
and the constitution though there are
certain part of the constitution they
are written
but majority of the parties unwritten
which part is written
sir they still magna carta they are the
district reports
and all these are the bill of rights the
petition of rights they are the written
parts of the constitution
and all the the remaining major part
they are the convention regard the crown
regard the house of common regard the
house of lord
and many other issues regard the
convening of the house of common and all
these things
why it took eight eight to nine years
for our country’s constitution
to come into being so there are really
there were various reasons
which were an obstacle on the way of
making constitution for pakistan
so firstly the death of our founder
kaiti azam it was also a
setback to the and constitution making
secondly sir
there was very the vested interest of
the
people who were making the constitution
it was also an obstacle
third thirdly there and the dissolution
of the constitute and question assembly
it was also an obstacle so fourthly the
various
parts of the pakistan is not a single
culture country it’s a multicultural
country so all these things were
defected to make a
constitution for a multicultural country
so these were the factors
how do you view the 18th amendment was
it good
or or do you think
it doesn’t suits the interest of
pakistan
sir 18 amendment according to myvi i
believe is that is the milestone in the
history of constitutional development of
pakistan
as we can say that constitution 18th
amendment
all attend amendment closed the door for
an interventions
in our country in our political system
so thirdly it gives certain basic rights
to our
constitutional right light and article
25
the basic education to the people and
the second lesson we can say there
and it also and gave us
the province is more a liberty like the
nfc award
for this saturday it also
institutionalized various appointments
but do you think the provinces had the
capacity
to handle that extra work which was
given to them
sir if we are looking the problems here
then here say there are more work is
need to be done so that the provinces
become able to
carry out the work which has been given
to them means more power are given
to the most concurrent list has been
abolished and the powers are given to
the provinces
so the capacity building of the province
is needed
so that they can come up with the
practical work
thank you sir connected with the
previous question of
my senior colleague what are the
financial implications of 18th amendment
sir in financial perspective the
provinces have gained more share
57 point something percent they are
province again and center has
more powers and in this regard there are
certain claims of
the center that though we have the major
chunk of like we have to manage the
budget
and the defense budget and we have the
communication and all these things
we have to pay the loans still we don’t
have the amount
which is needed to take care of all
these things the provinces are rich in
this regard
so you think that federation is now
regretting this the scene
sir we cannot say federation is
regretting but there are certain
and objectives of the federation that
they are saying that
they are more power financial powers
have been given to the
provinces and centre is like in this
regard
since you are associated with the
education sector of pakistan
tell me the three major issues of
education sector of pakistan
some major three issues according to my
view are the first is the budget issue
sir
it’s two percent allocated for education
system if you see one night but they are
investing and giving four percent of
their budget to their education
bangladesh
in this regard sixth and so and so on so
secondly we have the curriculum issue
we don’t have we have four major
division inside our education system
like
private schools public schools madrasa
school
and the other like the vocational and
training institute all these things
so it’s a good point that our
and the government has come up with
single
single national curriculum and so it’s a
good initiative in this regard
so thirdly the main issue in education
system is the
training of the teachers as i myself is
a teacher i have begu i have been given
the post regrettably i’m saying that
i was not given any training in this
regard i i graduated from a university i
applied for the post
i qualified and i was positive
headmistress in middle school
okay no problem what are the three major
issues
of chitral vis-a-vis afghan
borders proximity
proximity to all three major issues the
three major issues
firstly is the law and attention from
the government side
and they go there in chitra there are
mostly the ngos they are working more
there
there we see the lake of interest or
government this is the first issue
so secondly the road we can say that the
road from which we are coming and going
to chitra
the road are not up to the mark don’t
you think lavari tunnel was made for the
people of chitral
sir we can say they are is nif but in a
bigger perspective we can say it’s a
route that to link it between china and
central asia may be the part of it gonna
be the part of cpeg
okay so who is dpo chitral right now
do you know yes sir who’s sonia
i particularly asked this question that
a lady is heading your police
department in your district but you did
not
mention police as one of your options
may i know why sir basically
i want to serve in paris this is my
first priority
well i’m not saying pakistan police
service is a
it’s also a good option for me so before
going for police service i
prefer pakistan administration
administrative service it has a broader
perspective
and to carry on thirdly sir my family
preference also come here
my father says to me to go for pass
first
if police service is offered then i will
go to it inshallah
and no foreign services will no sir why
not
saram elder’s sister so i have
responsibilities regarding my siblings
thank you what were the key feature of
mento morale reforms
ser minto murder reforms they were the
constitutional package given to the
indians by the british
and one of them and for as far as i
remember is that the
so i’m forgetting sorry what
what cabinet kitchen what is government
kitchen
cabinet kitchen side
small members of the cabinet who are
working
so sorry i’m not kidding so what is
spoil system
search for system is the system
prevailing in u.s political system
where the incoming president usually get
appointments
from his friends and allocate relatives
in the british
in in his political system in usa and he
usually
usually reject all the nominees which
the pre and
predecessor means the president has done
last question what is
the student-to-teacher ratio in pakistan
sir sorry i don’t have any idea
okay how do you see this with the kpk
sir i see the merger of water with kpk
from positive lands
so as we see from the history it has
been a point of
many all the and we can say not good
activities there
means the basic the terrorist terrorist
activities so the merger is a good
opportunity for the people of water fata
so they can come up with this so they
can benefit from the government services
before it was we can send a tribal area
now we can say it’s the past
it means the part of the province so our
judiciary will extend
to them education institute will be
provided to the people there
and budget our three percent our budget
is it has been said that it will be
it invested in their fata have you
have you traveled from peshawar to
torkham in the recent past
do you know there is an economic
corridor which has been constructed
between peshawar
did you know you never traveled on that
technology
okay let’s conclude it let’s have a
debriefing session
but sorry i’m not getting you i don’t
get you what you said
let’s conclude this interview
session
let’s be informal and
we want to debrief you and if you have
got any question you can ask this
question from us
you have made it is a great achievement
that you were made in the written part
of this css examination
which is basically two percent of the
whole
all students aspiring to be in it
and it appears that you are martial
intelligent you are hard working
your personality is fine and
your communication skills are also good
now there you are going to compete with
the best one from the kpk province
okay when you are fighting between the
joints
then you have to fight in a better way
you should be fully prepared
so today we feel that as far as the gap
and
is
police officer so that should be
that should have motivated you and
get you to opt for police
dmg that is your first
and considering from the part of
pakistan where you belong
you are very good mashallah
responsibilities
foreign
