An interesting new legislation has recently been passed in the Pakistan National Assembly. This law proposes to create a China Pakistan Economic Corridor Authority that would essentially take control of the billion dollar CPEC away from the civilian bureaucracy to the Pakistan Army. Most democracies would have a virtual army of bureaucrats and auditors to handle such a project. But not in Pakistan, where the creation of an army-run supranational authority is in line with other actions, which have put the country so close to army rule that it’s becoming increasingly difficult to tell the difference.
Two months ago on 17 October, the centre amended the Jammu and Kashmir Panchayat Raj Act, 1989, to facilitate the setting up of District Development Councils, the members of which will be directly elected by voters in the Union Territory.

This system effectively replaces the District Planning and Development Boards in all districts, and will prepare and approve district plans and capital expenditure. The key feature of DDC elections is that the DDCs will have elected representatives from each district. The term of the DDCs will be five years

Why should the Union Jal Shakti Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat be stoking an old controversy by saying that the Indian government was planning to stop water supplies to Pakistan from the three eastern rivers allocated to India under the Indus Water Treaty?
The ostensible reason for wanting to stop these waters is Pakistan’s refusal to end state-sponsored terrorism. But a statement such as this serves no purpose except to exacerbate an already difficult relationship, given that India is not in a position to fully utilise the waters of the three eastern rivers, namely the Ravi, Beas and Sutlej.
