Very little information is currently
available to the IRBDC regarding the Domicile system in Pakistan.
An article in the Far Eastern Economic Review of 1 December
1988 mentions that there are domicile certificates that allow
residents in a province to vote locally or take up certain jobs.
Another reference to Domicile certificates is that found in an
unpublished paper by Iftikhar H. Malik of the Quaid-i-Azam
University in Islamabad, presented to a conference of South Asian
Studies at the University of Toronto in December 1989. In this
paper, Professor Malik mentions that the MQM movement has been
protesting against "the misuse of quota of Sindh by non-Sindhis by
acquiring fraudulent domicile certificates." No further information
on this topic is currently available to the IRBDC. The article from
the Far Eastern Economic Review and the page containing the
reference from Professor Malik's paper are attached.
