An open letter to SC: List of dual nationals submitted Begum Shehnaz Sheikh

PML-Q’s former MNA Begum Shehnaz Sheikh submitted through an open letter to the Supreme Court on Monday a list of parliamentarians having dual nationality.

In her open letter written to the Chief Justice of Pakistan Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, she alleged that the cases of all the parliamentarians having dual nationality were not equally dealt with. She requested the apex court to put the procedure pertaining to reimbursement of benefits enjoyed by the dual nationality holder parliamentarians, on hold until the final verdict on the pending review pleas of the dual nationality holders was delivered.

In her letter, she mentioned the names of 20 dual nationality holder parliamentarians. She said a few of those, whose membership was suspended by the apex court, still continued to remain at their offices. The letter includes the names of Asim Hussain, Raza Haroon, Shahbeen Rizvi, Tayyib Hussain, Fauzia Ejaz and Jameel Ashraf.

Shehnaz Sheikh alleged that she was not justly dealt with despite she had tendered her resignation. She claimed that all dual nationality holder members of parliament were not equally treated. She said all dual nationality holder parliamentarians were not directed to return all the monetary benefits they had drawn during the period they occupied public offices and other emoluments from the public exchequer, including monthly remunerations, TA/DA and facilities of accommodation, along with other perks etc.

She requested the apex court to stop all proceedings of reimbursement of monetary benefits granted to the suspended parliamentarians until a decision came on the review pleas filed against the Supreme Court’s verdict of disqualifying 11 members of parliament.

It may be recalled here that the membership of Begum Shehnaz Sheikh was suspended by the Supreme Court in October 2012 for holding Australian nationality, while being a Pakistani national and a member of the parliament.(The News)

Facilities

College Library

Library is the collection of books and other informative material made available to people for reading, or references. The word ‘Library’ comes from Libber, the Latin for ‘books’ however library collections have always contained a variety of material.

The central mission of a library is to collect, organize, preserve and provide access to knowledge and information. Libraries preserve a valuable record of culture that can be passed down to succeeding generation. Libraries are the link in this communication between the past, present and future. Libraries provide people with access to the information they need to work, play, learn and govern.

Library is the place  form where the students as well as the teaching staff      can get books of their own interest. Libraries have always been considered as important source of knowledge in human history. The Muslims are the pioneers who established, organized and formed libraries. When others overcame them, the greatest treasure was that of the books present in these libraries. Those who came across these books used them and made wonderful progress in science and technology. 

 The cadet college Palandri established its library in 1998. The aim of the library is to provide information to the readers on different subject/ topics. The present collection of the library is about more than 5000 books and other reading materials.

 The daily newspapers are also a major source of information. The readers are provided with English and Urdu newspapers. More than one hundred readers are accommodated at a time. Every necessary facility is available in the library.

 The present arrangement is not sufficient for the readers; however, a plan is under consideration to increase the reading materials and to provide comfortable, sophisticated and attractive furniture.

At present the library is situated at the upper portion of the Admin Block but in future a  separate building for library is also in pipeline.

Principal Message

Dear Internet Users!  

 

Education of the youth of a nation is, no doubt, the most valuable as well as the most delicate task. God gifted talents in raw form are to be traced out, pruned and polished into gold. It needs painstaking devotion, dedication and determination to inculcate the qualities of courage and confidence into the character of cadets to meet every challenge of life. The education aims at developing and strengthening the intellect, cultivating taste for learning and forming character without ignoring the culture and civilization. It should aim at maintaining adjustment of moral, physical and mental faculties in the trainee. Building of mind and body and infusing a sense of discipline are more essential than imparting merely bookish knowledge. It should also aim at developing creative faculties of the students.

I am, therefore, lucky as a Principal to have with me a team of keen and dedicated computer professionals and professors who never shirk their responsibility of promoting the sacred cause of education.

Dear cadets, do work hard, contribute to literacy activities whole heartedly and come out of this prestigious institute as a good human being and literary man. 

May god help you achieve your goal!

Brig. (Rtd.) 

Muhammad Akbar Khan

Principal, Cadet College Palandri.
