 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I am thankful to Allah Almighty for giving me strength and the opportunity to complete
this research. Several times during the study my will to complete it broke. But every
time I lost heart, something pushed me up from within. And this was nothing but the
blessings of Allah.

I profoundly thankful to my supervisor Dr. Azmat Ali Shah, Department of Political

Science, Gomal University, D.I. Khan the light under which I dared to think of
conducting the research, and struggled to complete it. His valuable help and gracious
cooperation instilled in me the spirit to fight the odds that were numerous.

Secondly, I am thankful to Dr. Muhammad Zubair Khan Baloch, Chairman,

Department of Political Science, Gomal University D.I Khan for his moral support, kind
and encouraging attitude.

My friends also do a lot in finalizing my research work through sharing their ideas with
me. They were helpful that when we combined and discussed together, we had this task
done.

Lastly, I admit that I can’t write all my well wishers here, as the space can’t let me to
proceed. From the core of my heart, I want to acknowledge them and may Allah can
return them with a better reward…AMEEN.
