Communication Minister, Saad Rafique discuss economic stability, investments

ISLAMABAD, Apr 14 (APP): Federal Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Dr. Tariq Fazal Chaudhry said on Monday that the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony selects Moavineen-e-Hujjaj strictly on merit.

During the National Assembly’s question hour, he said the ministry follows a transparent and rigorous process to appoint staff for Hajj duties. A selection committee, led by a senior officer of Grade-20 or above, evaluates candidates based on well-defined merit-based criteria to ensure competence and fairness.

He informed the House that these assistants are deployed at key locations including Makkah, Madinah, Jeddah, and Saudi airports, where they help pilgrims and support the smooth delivery of Hajj services.

To further improve transparency and address past concerns, the ministry has partnered with the National Testing Service (NTS) to conduct the recruitment test for Moavineen-e-Hujjaj.

The minister said that NTS, along with other testing services like ATS, is a well-established and trusted institution that regularly conducts recruitment exams for government bodies.

“In previous years, there were concerns about the selection process of Hajj support staff. To make it more merit-based and transparent, the Ministry has chosen NTS for recruitment,” he said.

This step, he added, is part of the Ministry’s broader strategy to institutionalize transparency, build credibility, and ensure a fair selection system for those sent to assist Pakistani pilgrims in Saudi Arabia.

He clarified that this measure is not limited to the current government but is part of ongoing efforts to improve Hajj operations and maintain public trust in national processes.

Dr. Tariq Fazal Chaudhry said the number of assistants is calculated according to the percentage of pilgrims allocated to Pakistan each year. “This year too, the number of Moavineen has been decided in proportion to the Hajj quota,” he added.

He explained that three main categories of personnel are sent to Saudi Arabia for Hajj operations. Moavineen-e-Hujjaj are not permanent employees of the ministry but are nominated by different government departments through the National Information Technology Board (NITB). They provide logistical and administrative support to pilgrims.

Seasonal Duty Staff, he said, are regular employees of the Ministry of Religious Affairs with extensive experience in Hajj management. They supervise the implementation of Hajj arrangements and are often reappointed due to their performance and expertise.

He said that Medical Mission includes doctors from the Pakistan Army and other government healthcare institutions. They are responsible for providing medical care and emergency services to pilgrims in Makkah, Madinah, Jeddah, and at airports.

ISLAMABAD, Apr 14 (APP):A meeting between the President Supreme Court Bar Association of Pakistan (SCBAP), Mian Muhammad Rauf Atta, and the IMF mission was held today in Islamabad.

On the occasion, Mir Atta Ullah Langove and Barrister Sarfraz Metlo, Presidents of the High Court Bar Associations of Baluchistan and Sindh, respectively, were also present. The agenda of the meeting was to discuss issues such as judicial efficiency, contract enforcement, and property rights protection, etc.

The meeting, which lasted for more than one hour, covered extensive discussions on a range of issues, particularly the issue of judicial efficiency, which appears to be one of the core concerns of the mission.

The mission also shared its concerns regarding contract enforcement and property rights issues, directly affecting foreign investments. In this context, the President SCBAP provided a detailed and factual response to the mission’s queries.

President SCBAP, while recognizing the importance of judicial efficiency, viewed that for a vibrant and independent judicial system, judicial efficiency is one of the basic prerequisites.

He apprised the mission that two important efforts are currently being made to enhance judicial efficiency, one on the judicial side and the other on the legislative side.

On the judicial side, he apprised the mission of the initiatives taken by the Chief Justice of Pakistan aimed at improving judicial efficiency, such as the introduction of an e-filing system replacing the orthodox filing system, revamping the case management system, expeditious disposal of pending cases, and the introduction of video link facilities in the Supreme Court. All these initiatives are directed toward improving judicial efficiency and eliminating hurdles in the process.

Additionally, efforts are being made to introduce the same initiatives in the higher and subordinate judiciary, the President stated.

On the legislative side, he apprised the mission that the recently introduced 26th Constitutional Amendment was made with the aim of improving judicial independence, enabling the judicial system to work more efficiently and effectively.

It was reiterated that under the amendment, a constitutional bench has been formed to address more complex high-profile political and constitutional cases, so as to save more time of the court for regular work without interruption.

Besides that, an institutional system to check the performance of judges is already functioning.

The mission was also informed about other initiatives aimed at enhancing judicial efficiency, such as increasing the number of expert judges not only in the Supreme Court but also in the high courts, the introduction of a number of tribunals, especially in tax matters, and the creation of forums to resolve complex issues through Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR) initiatives, ensuring that justice is served effectively at the grassroots level.

Regarding the issues of contract enforcement, the mission was apprised that, albeit delays due to procedural inefficiencies, the government is trying its level best to provide a conducive environment to attract and secure direct foreign investment, and specialized courts and benches are being introduced to adjudicate these matters.

Additionally, it was mentioned that Articles 23 and 24 of the Constitution deal with the right to own property, and efforts are being made to strengthen anti-encroachment laws and enforcement mechanisms.

The meeting concluded with both sides agreeing that the recipe to resolve all the aforesaid issues lies in economic and political stability, and good governance, with the President of SCBAP describing the rule of law as the cornerstone.

In this context, a questionnaire containing queries related to the aforesaid matters will be shared with this Association by the mission, followed by a detailed response along with proposals and suggestions to be made by the other side.

Multi-stakeholder consultation proposes key amendments to Draft Bill banning E-Cigarettes in KP

By

-

PESHAWAR, Apr 14 (APP):A multi-stakeholder consultation on the draft bill prohibiting e-cigarettes and vapes in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) proposed critical amendments to strengthen the legislation before its submission to the Health Department.

Organized by Blue Veins, a civil society organization, in collaboration with the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Tobacco Control Cell (KPTCC), the consultation brought together legal experts, district administration officials, representatives of the Tobacco Control Programme, social activists, and media professionals in Peshawar.

In his welcome address, Qamar Naseem, Programme Manager at Blue Veins, highlighted the absence of laws regulating newer tobacco products like e-cigarettes and vapes in Pakistan.

“The tobacco industry markets these products as harm-reduction tools, but the WHO and health experts confirm that they are more dangerous than traditional cigarettes,” he stated.

Qamar added that over 40 countries have already banned e-cigarettes due to their severe public health risks.

To address this regulatory gap, civil society organizations and public health advocates have long demanded comprehensive legislation.

Responding to this need, a draft bill titled “The Prohibition of E-Cigarettes/Vapes, E-Liquids/Flavoured Additives and Related Chemicals Bill 2025 (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa)” has been developed.

The draft is now under consideration by the Health Department and the provincial government.

Following the incorporation of stakeholder feedback, the draft will be submitted to the Technical Advisory Committee of the Health Department.

After review, it will be forwarded to the Law Department for vetting, and finally presented to the KP Legislative Assembly for approval.

During the consultation, participants discussed critical aspects of the draft bill, including sentencing guidelines (imprisonment duration, fines), enforcement mechanisms (designation of authorities), and existing legal loopholes.

Ajmal Shah, Coordinator of the KP Tobacco Control Cell, noted that in the absence of specific legislation, businesses selling e-cigarettes operate in a legal grey area.

“District authorities and police are cooperative, but current laws do not cover these products, creating enforcement challenges,” he explained.

Syed Zainab Naqvi, former Assistant Commissioner of Peshawar and Deputy Director of the Education Monitoring Authority, highlighted the administration’s difficulties in confiscating and destroying illegal tobacco products due to legal gaps.

She emphasized the urgent need for a comprehensive law to protect youth.

Miss Haseena Khan, Assistant Commissioner of Hayatabad and Focal Person for Tobacco Control, praised the collaborative drafting efforts and reaffirmed the administration’s commitment to implementing tobacco control regulations.

She commended Blue Veins and the Provincial Tobacco Control Programme for taking the lead on regulating newer tobacco products.

“This consultation marks a crucial step toward curbing youth vaping and aligning KP’s policies with global health standards,” she remarked.
