Vote, Election Process, Democratic Struggle, Importance of Youth & Election 2024


Vote, Election Process, Democratic Struggle, Importance of Youth & Election 2024

 

Voter number is increasing & ratio too improving.  If we check last 100 years history of elections, we can easily understand the situation well. In 1920, first election was held in British India only in provinces with limited rather very thin Franchise , it improved in 1923 when except Gandhi and Ali brothers, others including Swaraj party, khilafat committee Punjab ,UP, Bengal , etc participated in elections, In 1937 franchise increased and in 1946 it added more people but still there was not any adult franchise at all. After 1947 , both India and Pakistan adopted adult franchise but there was not any election commission not chief election commissioner till 1956 , what to talk about voting lists. Election act 2017 empower election institutions yet lot of work still ahead.

As par numbers, ratio & gender gape Punjab is ahead,

Issues of Democracy in Pakistan Lok Lhar show 2023

 



Issues of Democracy in Pakistan Lok Lhar show 2023

Why democracy is in struggle and why elite especially non elected elite has reservations with democracy. Who are the new and old power players? why the all love with undocumented economy? Although Charter of Democracy (May2006) and 18th amendment & NFC award (2010) strengthen democracy yet 3rd pillar , local self government is still missing. A separate chapter regarding LSG in the 1973 constitution is the essential missing part. How PTI govt in the Punjab and PPP in Sindh played with LSG laws. 

Program was recorded at MastFM103, Lhore at 15 September 2023, International Day for Democracy.
