General Zia Ul Haq (1977-1988)
General Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq was the one who enforced Martial Law for the third time
in the brief history of Pakistan. - On April 1, 1976, in a surprise move the then Prime Minister of
Pakistan, Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, appointed Zia-ul-Haq as Chief of Army Staff, superseding five
senior Generals. Bhutto probably wanted somebody as the head of the armed forces who would
not prove to be a threat for him, and the best available option was the simple General who was
apparently interested only in offering prayers and playing golf. However, history proved that
General Zia-ul-Haq proved to be much smarter than Bhutto thought. When political tension
reached its climax due to the deadlock between Bhutto and the leadership of Pakistan National
Alliance on the issue of general elections, Zia-ul-Haq took advantage of the situation.

On July 5, 1977, he carried out a bloodless coup overthrowing Bhuttos government and
enforced Martial Law in the country. After assuming power as Chief Martial Law Administrator,
Zia-ul-Haq promised to hold National and Provincial Assembly elections in the next 90 days and
to hand over power to the representatives of the Nation. However, in October 1977, he
announced the postponement of the electoral plan and decided to start an accountability process
of the politicians. In a statement, he said that he changed his decision due to the strong public
demand for the scrutiny of political leaders who had indulged in malpractice in the past. The
Disqualification Tribunal was formulated and many former Members of Parliament were
disqualified from participating in politics at any level for the next seven years. A white paper
was also issued which criticized the activities of Pakistan People Partys government under
Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto With the retirement of Fazal Ilahi, Zia-ul-Haq also assumed the office of
President of Pakistan on September 16, 1978. In the absence of a Parliament, Zia-ul-Haq decided
to set up an alternative system. He introduced Majlis-i-Shoora in 1980. Most of the members of
the Shoora were intellectuals, scholars, ulema, journalists, economists and professionals
belonging to different fields of life. The Shoora was to act as a board of advisors to the President.
The idea of establishing this institution was not bad but the main problem was that all 284
6

members of the Shoora were to be nominated by the President and thus there was no room for
dissention. In the mid 80s, Zia-ul-Haq decided to fulfill his promise of holding elections in the
country. But before handing over the power to the public representatives, he decided to secure
his position. Referendum was held in the county in December 1984, and the masses were given
the option to elect or reject the General as the future President of Pakistan. The question asked in
the referendum was phrased in a way that Zia-ul-Haqs victory was related to the process of
Islamization in the country. According to the official result, more than 95 percent of the votes
were cast in favor of Zia-ul-Haq, thus he was elected as President for the next five years.After
being elected President, Zia-ul-Haq decided to hold elections in the country in February 1985 on
a non-party basis. Most of the political parties decided to boycott the elections but election
results showed that many victors belonged to one party or the other. To make things easier for
himself, the General nominated the Prime Minister from amongst the Members of the Assembly.
To many, his nomination of Muhammad Khan Junejo as the Prime Minister was because he
wanted a simple person at the post who would act as a puppet in his hands. Before handing over
the power to the new Government he made certain Amendments in the Constitution and got them
endorsed from the Parliament before lifting the state of emergency in the county. Due to this
Eighth Amendment in the Constitution, the powers of the President were increased to an absolute
level on the plea of safeguarding national integrity. As time passed, the Parliamentarians wanted
to have more freedom and power. By the beginning of 1988, rumors about the differences
between the Prime Minister and Zia-ul-Haq were rife. The general feeling was that the President,
who had enjoyed absolute power for eight long years, was not ready to share it with anybody
else. On May 29, 1988, Zia-ul-Haq finally dissolved the National Assembly and removed the
Prime Minister under article 58(2) b of the amended Constitution. Apart from many other
reasons, Junejos decision to sign the Geneva Accord against the wishes of Zia-ul-Haq proved to
be one of the major factors responsible for his removal.

After 11 years, Zia-ul-Haq once again made the same promise to the Nation to hold fresh
elections within next 90 days. With Benazir Bhutto back in the country and the Muslim League
leadership annoyed with the President over the decision of May 29, Zia-ul-Haq was trapped in
the most difficult situation of his political life. The only option left for him was to repeat history
and to postpone the elections once again. However, before taking any decision, Zia-ul-Haq died
7

in an air crash near Bhawalpur on August 17, 1988. The accident proved to be very costly for the
country as almost the entire military elite of Pakistan was onboard. Though United States
Ambassador to Pakistan was also killed in the misfortune, yet many do not rule out U. S.
involvement in the sabotage. They believe that United States could not afford Pakistan to oppose
Geneva Accord and thus they removed the biggest hurdle in their way. During his rule, Zia-ul-
Haq tried his utmost to maintain close ties with the Muslim World. He made vigorous efforts
along with other Muslim States to bring an end to the war between Iran and Iraq. Pakistan joined
the Non-Aligned Movement in 1979 during Zia-ul-Haqs term. He also fought a war by proxy in
Afghanistan and saved Pakistan from a direct war with Soviet Union. The major event in the
history of zia regime was its ismalization ,debacle in siachin ,ojheri camp blown up and the
global scenario of soviet infiltration in afganistan.

Emergence And Eclipse Of Ghulam Ishaq Khan
A powerful player in the political equation was President Ishaq Khan. The president,
under the constitution, is elected by a majority of the members of the national and provincial
assemblies. Ishaq Khan was a seasoned senior bureaucrat-turned politician who had been a key
figure in Pakistan for more than three decades. Born in 1915 in the North-West Frontier
Province, he was appointed to the prestigious Civil Service of Pakistan after independence in
1947. After holding various regional posts, including being chairman of the West Pakistan Water
and Power Development Authority (1961-66), he was appointed to several positions in the
central government--first as secretary, Ministry of Finance (1966-70) and later as governor of the
State Bank of Pakistan (1971-75). In the latter position, he questioned the wisdom of a number of
the economic policies of then Prime Minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto. He was subsequently moved
from the bank and made secretary general at the Ministry of Defence. Although an unusual post
for a senior economics expert, it proved to be fortuitous in that it brought him into close contact
with the senior officers of the armed forces. Among them was General Zia, who later ousted
Bhutto and turned the management of the economy over to Ishaq Khan. During the martial law
period (1977- 85), Ishaq Khan's titles changed, but he was responsible for all important
economic decisions. Among other things, he supported the Zia government's efforts to Islamize
the economy by changes in the fiscal and banking systems.

In 1985 Ishaq Khan was elected to the Senate and later became chairman of the Senate.
The death of Zia in 1988 thrust Ishaq Khan to the center of the political stage. When the military
decided to use the constitution to handle the issue of succession, Ishaq Khan, as chairman of the
Senate and therefore next in the line of succession, became acting president. He and the
emergency council he instituted decided to hold general elections and to allow political parties to
participate. Thus, the country was guided back to democracy, Benazir became prime minister,
and Ishaq Khan was subsequently elected president by the national and provincial assemblies.

Ishaq Khan's position was considerably strengthened by the Eighth Amendment to the
constitution, introduced by President Zia, which allows the president to dismiss the government
and to override the government's choice of army chief. When the previous army chief died
unexpectedly, President Ishaq Khan reportedly turned down the government's choice and named
General Abdul Waheed to head the army. General Waheed, who is not known to have any
political ambitions, is from the same ethnic group as Ishaq Khan--the Pakhtuns of the North-
West Frontier Province.

Intermittent and conflicting signals of rapprochement, realignment, and behind-the-
scenes alliances among the various political players heightened the political tension in late 1992
and early 1993. There was speculation that the opposition and the government might join forces
to muster a two-thirds majority in the parliament to repeal the Eighth Amendment or even that
they might field a candidate against the president. However, it was also noticeable that Benazir
had stopped openly attacking the president, and some observers considered that she might be
playing for time, hoping to use the differences between the president and the prime minister to
her own advantage. The army, however, always a key ingredient in the mix, continued to support
the president as well as the continuation of the Eighth Amendment. Against this backdrop,
Pakistan's developing democracy continued to be tested by economic problems, persistent
violence, and corruption, as well as the power struggles of its leaders.

Leghari Plays Brutus
9

What made leghari brutus ?what was it that made him sacrifice his political ideology ,his
comrades of 20 years and years of stuggle together to part company with fellow jialas? Farooq
Leghari was elected Senator. In the 1977 election, he won the National Assembly seat from his
ancestral constituency in Dera Ghazi Khan and was appointed Federal Minister for Production.
In 1978, he was appointed Secretary General of the P. P. P. and participated in the struggle for
the restoration of democracy. He remained Secretary General till 1983 and underwent four years
of imprisonment during the Martial Law. Farooq Leghari was elected member of both National
and Punjab Assembly in the 1988 elections, and was appointed Federal Minister for Water and
Power from December 1989 up to August 1990.

In October 1990 elections, he was re-elected member of the National Assembly and
became Deputy Leader of the Opposition in the Assembly. In the caretaker Cabinet in 1993,
Farooq Leghari held the portfolio of the Federal Minister for Finance. During this period he
presided over the 21st Islamic Conference of Foreign Ministers held in Karachi from April 25 to
29,1993. In the October 1993 general elections, he won the National Assembly seat and was
appointed Federal Foreign Minister. Farooq Ahmad Khan Leghari was elected President of
Pakistan on November 13, 1993, and took oath the same day for a term of five years. In February
1997, Mian Nawaz Sharif, a major political opponent of Farooq Leghari, was elected as the
Prime Minister. With the passing of the Thirteenth Amendment, a direct collision course with the
Prime Minster was set. Due to the dilution of Pakistan Peoples Partys role in the assemblies,
chances of Legharis reelection as President in 1998 had also become bleak. On December 2,
1997, Farooq Leghari resigned as the President of Pakistan. As scheduled, elections were held on
February 3, 1997. Pakistan Muslim League won with an overwhelming majority with absolutely
light and slight opposition. The Muslim League was able to obtain a two-third majority in the
National Assembly and Mian Nawaz Sharif was re-elected as Prime Minister. He obtained a vote
of confidence from the National Assembly on February 18, 1997.

A number of very important Constitutional Amendments were introduced during Nawaz
Sharifs second term. These include the termination of the Eighth Amendment, passing of the
Thirteenth Amendment and the Ehtesab Act, 1997. Nawaz Sharif faced a serious confrontation
10

with the Judiciary and the Executive, which eventually led to the resignation of President
Leghari on December 2, 1997.

It was during this term that Pakistan carried out its nuclear tests on May 28, 1998, in
response to the Indian detonation of its five nuclear devices. The Nawaz Government had found
it imperative for Pakistan to carry out these nuclear tests, in order to provide an effective defense,
and to deter Indian adventurism.

The Nawaz Government proclaimed an emergency on May 28, 1998; the day these
nuclear tests were conducted. All fundamental rights were suspended and all the foreign currency
accounts in Pakistani banks were frozen. On August 28, 1998, Nawaz regime introduced the
Fifteenth Amendment. The Bill generated heated debate throughout the country but was passed
on October 9, 1998, by the members of the National Assembly. The Bill, however, was not put
before the Senate within 90 days as was required by the Constitution. The Bill was held back, as
Nawaz Sharif did not had the required two-third majority in the Senate.

The Fifteenth Amendment was presumed to be an effort by Nawaz Sharif to acquire
additional powers for himself. Soon a serious conflict and confrontation emerged on the scene
between him and the Military Generals. This confrontation led to the resignation of General
Jehangir Karamat on October 7, 1998. General Karamat was replaced by General Pervez
Musharraf.

The Kargil Operation in its aftermath again led to tense relations between Nawaz Sharif and the
armed forces. This tension culminated into the removal of Nawaz Government by General
Pervez Musharraf on October 12, 1999, thus bringing to an end the second term of Nawaz
Sharifs Government.12 October 1999 Military takeover Pakistani politics took yet another twist
in October 1990 when General Pervez Musharraf ousted the PML (N) government headed by
Nawaz shareef. Hence again martial law imposed in this country
Pakistan not a failed state
Pakistan is being bracketed among the failed states of the world .but Pakistan is not a
failed state. Let it be known loud and clear to the world that Pakistan is not a failed state
.Pakistan is a nuclear power, with missiles in its armory, has an impregnable defense with the
11

seventh largest and one of the finest army in the world, well stocked foreign exchange and
indispensable geo-strategic location in this region with this combination of assets, Pakistan
cannot be a failed state. The author throws up some recommendation and few suggestions as
food for thought for the betterment of the country which is as follow: Democracy, Restoration of
1973 constitution, Trained and experienced specialist in various fields is not available in
Pakistan, Restrict by law the number of member of the federal and provisional cabinets, Visit to
holy places including for hajj and Umra, Number of political parties , Independent and strong
judiciary, Stop misuse of public money, Legislator who change party loyalties be debarred ,
Accountability, depoliticize state institutions and restore inter provisional cohesion.

Pakistan And Its Objectives

Countries that matter in the world, have objectives based on their national interest that
they aim to safeguard .these objectives are firm and are not negotiable. Matter like personal
friendship are not allowed to influence the realities .keeping their objectives in view the relations
with other countries and region are formulated.so the basic for Pakistan are that it should stand
on its own feet And think and act independently. So the question arises that what should be
Pakistans objectives? Pakistan first is rhetoric but it require more than that to stand up and be
counted. Pakistan should have a clear and unambiguous understanding of what is required to be
achieved. And once these objectives are identified, these must be kept in view all the time as our
bible. Government may come and go but objectives should stay firm as the Himalayas. Pakistan
objectives broadly speaking can be listed as follows. National security, Nuclear technology,
Literacy, Dams, Revival of economy and restore investors confidence, Judiciary, Swift and
across the board accountability, Foreign relation and Democratization.

There is no prefix to democracy ,it is pure and simple democracy ,as envisaged and
practiced in the democratic countries all over the world .in Pakistan seizing power by
unconstitutional means by the army and unscrupulous power hungry civilians ,bureaucrats and
politician included ,it is a matter of routine .in order to put to an end to it, the relevant clause of
punishment for extra-constitutional acts for grabbing power as laid down in the constitution must
be strictly enforced and implemented.

Charter Of Democracy

The 60 year of history of Pakistan, particularly after assassination of its first prime
minister, is a quagmire of politics. Personalities rather than constitution and the objectives to be
achieved by Pakistan, were prominent and held the center stage. During the period from
December 1988 till October 1999 the personalities of MS Benazir Bhutto and mian Nawaz Sharif
dominated in the political stage in the name of PPP and PML (n) respectively. But for the
restoration of democracy the two party leaders signed a charter with the name of charter of
democracy for the restoration of democracy in a country. The charter of democracy contains 36
clauses divided into 4 distinct sections. Broadly speaking these are Constitutional amendment,
code of conduct, free and fair election a civil military relations. Although the charter of
democracy is not be a prefect document, as one seldom is, and there is always room for
improvement. The charter of is a statement of established principles of constitutional law with 2
additions. Acceptance of the due role of opposition and others; that neither of the parties shall
undermine each other through extra-constitutional ways. The charter of democracy has risen in a
crisis when once again Pakistan is at the crossroads of its democratic history .but in Pakistan
present political confusion it shall go a long way as a code of ethics and help in pulling the
country out of this political morass. The document of democracy is worth giving a trial at least.

India As A Sixth Nuclear Power State

Here comes the news in 2006 that India and America is for sure that Indian figures first to
the US in all and every aspect and they hasten to grab the opportunity to bind India into knot that
US call American most dynamically developing alliance. The US has decided to allow India to
acquire the same status, facilities, benefits and advantage as accorded to the five member of the
nuclear club. This amounts to virtually recognizing Indian as a member of the nuclear club. Now
America no longer brackets Pakistan with India. During this period US offer F 16 Falcons to
Pakistan and at the same time made a counter offer to India assuring its leader of to help India in
emerge as a world power soon. As the part of the plan the US offered New Delhi f-18 hornets
aircraft technology and license to manufacture those in India .this US offer to India is much more
13

substantial and of the strategic value than mere sale of f-16 to Pakistan. Now India is not going
to be foolish to fritter away such an alluring offer, it may drag its feet to bargain for something
more because with this deal going through India would not only enhance its superiority many
folds over Pakistan but will dominate the entire region. India has always been USA first choice
in the region and Pakistan is only a standby .the ground realities present a dismal picture.
Pakistan is beset with unpleasant realities ;starting with overwhelming US overtures to win over
India; US perception of India in terms of strategic partner and the role it is likely to be assigned
in furthering US interest in the region; rapidly developing US Israel and India axis ;transfer of
technology and production rights of f 16 in India that will in long run make Pakistan dependents
on India for spare parts for its jets. Pakistan US relationships has always been a matter of
convenience; US has only tactical interest in Pakistan and on the job to job basis. At present it
centers around the war on terror and once this situation recedes then the love lore between the
two will once again come to an end.

The New Middle East Of George Bush And Sultan Salah Uddin
Ayubi
India and Pakistan are two different countries.an article blood border by ralph peters published in
US armed journal reflects the thinking of a section of the American establishment, arguing I
favor of redrawing the border in the middle east to facilitate implementation of bush
administration neoliberalism agenda in this region. This highly provocative article rings bell and
takes back to readers to bush revelation that India and Pakistan are two different countries. This
article by ralph peter caant be brushed aside it provides an important link in the chain of
gradually preparing the countries of this region and the world at large to assimilate and later
accept the changing boundaries of the same state and the creation of the new states in the middle
east at the cost of the existing states including turkey ,iran and even Pakistan. Even dr
Condoleezza pronounced about the new Middle East and calling the recent Lebanon pounding by
Israel as the birth pangs of that scheme.it was being covertly planned but bush being what he is ,
just could not contain himself and he first come out with crusade against the terrorist statement
and most recently dubbed the Muslim fascist. It is an organized global campaign against Muslim
at large to defame and isolate them in the first instance and then confront them with redefining
14

the boundaries of various Muslim countries in the Middle East so as to make them totally
ineffective and dependent on the USA .in this game turkey Iran and Pakistan are also include. It
is considered that Pakistan Iran Iraq Saudi Arabia and turkey are unnatural states requiring major
adjustment in their borderies.it is felt by US that Britain and France after World War 2 in the
2oth century, made mistakes and created countries with unnatural border and this historical
mistake be rectified now to save further bloodshed. The concept of the new Middle East and
regional Muslim states is conceived to create militarily and financially weak states that they toe
the American line and not to resist Israel domination in the region. For the short term gains this
Anglo Christian axis is likely to have sway because they have both military resources and a
powerful media to force their will. Bush crusade against Muslims fascist will change the very
face of this region but they should not forget that there is always salahuddin ayubi waiting in the
wings.
In the end here have been many intriguing developments, near and around with the deep
and far reaching repercussions for Pakistan, south Asia and the middle east .The whole scenario
in these region is undergoing a change and as a part of the region, is in a quagmire of
US/European manipulation of the economic, political and strategic new look of these regions.
Newly developed indo-US love hate relationship is no surprise to Pakistan .since independent of
the subcontinent in 1947; the US has been wooing india for strategic and economic reasons but
with no success. India stuck to its relationships with soviets. Pakistan was only a second choice
and the American used it as a standby. Someone has beautifully summed it up. The US treats
Pakistan as a girlfriend for a rainy day. This is no secret. After their failure to lure India to their
camp the Americans repeatedly bought Pakistan cooperation through economic and military aid,
to meet their objectives in south Asia and Middle East. The deals were on task to task basis with
no obligation outstanding. It may be noted that even in these strictly business like dealing with
Pakistan the American always kept an admiring eye on India and they always made sure that
while giving military aid to Pakistan it did not irk India and only equipped Pakistan armed forces
with weapons which didnt have any offensive capability.one more point to be noted at this stage
is that in the past the term used for the violation of Pakistani territory by US said as infringement
of Pakistans sovereignty but now it has been mellowed down to such words as violation of
international border. The real American thinking on dealing with al-Qaeda and Talibans and
their disregard for Pakistan sovereignty is revealed. American is known to be ruthless in
15

achieving their ends. Here there objectives is complete annihilation of al Qaeda and to achieve
this, they would trample over anything and everything that come their including Pakistan
sovereignty.

Now Pakistan is no more than a subservient state at the beck and call of the US, rightly
termed as girlfriend for a rainy day. Now a stage is reached where bold and brave action on the
part of the decision maker is required, not a belligerent action but a firm and diplomatic
indicating Pakistans resolve to stand up on its own without any fear of sanctions or threaten to
be bombed back to the stone ages . Pakistan is a nuclear power and the USA will not go to that
extent. That is for sure. Pakistan all along had been toeing the American line, may be out of
compulsion for need of pelf in the form of economic and military aid or for fear of being bombed
back to the stone age but it is now high time for rulers of Pakistan, be they Politicians,
bureaucrats or uniformed to rethink and be bold to face the challenges including the very
existence of the country. It will be now or never, because the coming times there are crucial as
the eye of the storm is fast moving towards Pakistan and there may be not a second chance.

Pakistan leadership will have to think of Pakistan first forsaking their personal lust for
power and the mistakes of the past must not be repeated. It may be unpalatable for ambitious
power seeker but this is the only way for us and our coming generation to live up with honor.
God will help us . THE SUN SHALL RISE AGAIN. INSHALLAH


CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF BOOK

Strength
First time identify mistakes made by Mr. Jinnah.
Pakistan political ups and downs is very well defined
A compelling story, plainly told. It reveals a great deal about Pakistani life and politics.
Leadership crisis issue in Pakistan political system is very well recognized.
16


Weakness
Author was a pro-Bhutto and pro-Jinnah. So his analysis was based on too much
partiality.
Highly criticized military era of Pakistan instead of assessing the main issue in political
system.
Media emergence and its impact in our political system is not identified. Media is now
considered as a fourth pillar of state .consequently role of media play during all these
year is not acknowledged.
Personality flaws identified rather than system flaws. Many political and military
personality errors and mistakes have been highlighted in the book but the reality is that
people in all the places are same .Its not a person but its a political system which makes
them corrupt. However we need a stable and best political and governance system which
can provide solution to our problems.
Democracy solution of all Pakistan problems. But the reality is that democracy itself is
a cause of many problems. If author has a global perspective then he came to know that
many problem also exist in countries in which democracy is prevailing .at this moment
we need to think little outside the box for solving our issues.

Conclusion:
The book initially provides a brief overview about political situation of Pakistan.
According to the author of the book Pakistan is a developing country and it is politically
unstable. He identified that democratic governments have always failed to complete their tenure
which eventually results in a long lasting dictatorship reign. In Pakistani politics, there is a clear
domination by few families only and these families have never produced long lasting fruitful
results. The political system has been stagnant since 70s and no drastic change has taken place.
The chair of head of state has been a war between the head of the army staff and a few noticeable
political leaders. The situation on the ground level at present is gloomy but there is no cause for
despair , Pakistan has withstood such storm earlier and this will also blow over. The panacea for
17

all the ills of Pakistan is still to be find .Besides when we find the solution of this problem the
sun shall rise again INSHALLAH
