I don't have copyright licence from local government. How can I use GPL? As far as I know a step to apply GPL is to add the copyright notice:
Copyright XXXX shabab haider...
What shall I write in this section? Am I eligible to write such thing? Do I have to redirect the copyright to free software foundation or something similar?
As long as you are the author you are eligible to write a copyright notice that states that you are the copyright holder, you don't have to redirect the copyright to anyone else. I suggest you check out this page on how to use GPL.
This is what is generally written in GPL'd source code files:
