Down fall of Prime Minister Nawaz sharif started with kargil conflict. It was an operation masterminded by General Pervez Musharraf and according to some sources he did not take approval of prime minister before starting it. PM was informed when operation was already in progress. It was a badly planned operation in which Air Force and Navy were not taken under confidence, only three Army Generals knew about it. In the beginning Indian forces received massive casualties and lost very important piece of land. With the passage of time this conflict started to become more serious, now India was using its Air Force too. A full fledged war was going to happen which could have easily turned into a nuclear conflict. Economic condition of Pakistan was not good enough to fight a war for long time, Air Force and Navy were also not fully prepared. Seeing all this international community started to build up pressure on Pakistan to call back the forces and on India to not to expend the war. Nawaz Sharif agreed and ordered the forces to retreat. Pakistani forces faced the loss of many soldiers during retreat. Nawaz Sharif was criticized throughout the country for this. He was failed to manage it properly, these casualties could have avoided. Nawaz took all the blame on himself to save the face of military. In reality it was military who destroyed the peace process between India and Pakistan by starting this conflict.
After this conflict Musharraf was afraid of court martial, tensions grew between him and PM but Nawaz did not take any action against him later he regretted for not doing so. On October 12, 1999 Nawaz Sharif received authentic information that military is going to take over his government on return of Musharraf who was in Srilanka at that time. Nawaz removed the Army chief and appointed a new one. Army refused to obey his orders and ousted his administration. At the same time Musharraf came back to Karachi, Nawaz tried to not allow his plane to land in Karachi and diverted it to Nawabshah Airport to buy some more time but it was already too late. His plane landed in Karachi and Nawaz was put under house arrest and later exiled to Saudi Arabia in December 2000.
Mushaaraf called himself the chief executive. He deliberately avoided to use the name of "Martial Law administrator" to provide an excuse and deceive the Supreme Court. He suspended the constitution and "The Oath of Judges Order 2000" was issued. It required the judges to take a fresh oath of office swearing allegiance to military rule and to state they would make no decisions against the military. Many judges refused and resigned in protest.
Just like previous traitors & dictators he made an attempt to legitimize his rule and held a referendum on 30 April 2002. There were many irregularities in it.
In October 2002, elections were held. PML-Q succeeded in making a coalition government. This party consisted of most corrupt politicians from many different parties who agreed to support Musharraf to save themselves. Many of them were arrested by him before. This government legitimized his rule and did many different amendments to the constitution, all of them with the same purpose of giving more and more power to that dictator.
After the attacks of September 11, United states decided to attack Afghanistan and they wanted Musharraf to join them. He surrendered to their will and became a part of multi national alliance who attacked Afghanistan on October 7, 2001. Sanctions against Pakistan were removed and huge amount of financial and military aid was given to Musharraf regime. Pakistan was under these sanctions throughout 90s. Pakistani forces did not enter Afghanistan but they started an operation on Pak-Afghan border against supporters of Afghan Resistance, mostly consisted of Taliban and ethnic Pashtun Afghanis. This move was against the wishes of Pakistanis and many small militant groups emerged in that area who later formed a bigger Alliance named Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan. Pakistani forces are still fighting this group in tribal belt. A campaign was launched against supporters and members of Al-Qaeda. Actually it became a business for military establishment, they received dollars in exchange of every person they handed over to USA. Many innocents like Doctor Afia Siddiqui were also arrested and handed over to america. Many Arabs were killed or arrested who settled in tribal areas after the end of Afghan Jihad against USSR. This operation resulted in shape of insurgency and continuous engagement of Pakistani security forces against other Pakistanis.
One of the most brutal acts of his regime was Lal Masjid Operation, From July 3 to July 11, 2007. In this operation more than one hundred children were burnt alive with chemical weapons like Phosphorus. Most of them were as young as 12 to 16. This operation was purely of political nature. Musharraf wanted to show his will to crush Islamic voices and win the "hearts and minds" of anti Islam forces of the world.
Another most disgusting act of his regime was an attempt to suspend the sitting Chief Justice of Supreme Court. The Steel mills privatization case and Missing persons case became the real cause of this act. Chief Justice was not willing to obey the orders of government and passed the judgments against their wishes. On 9 March 2007, Musharraf suspended the Chief Justice, Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, pressing corruption charges against him and filed a reference against him, in the Supreme Judicial Council. The supreme court refused to accept the reference and reinstated the Chief Justice on 20 July.
Sharif returned to Pakistan in September 2007, and was immediately arrested and taken into custody at the airport and then sent back to Saudi Arab.
on October 5, 2007 The National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) was issued by the traitor. It granted amnesty to selective politicians, bureaucrats and political workers who were accused of corruption, embezzlement, money-laundering, murder and terrorism. It came as a result of the "deal" between Musharraf and PPP which enabled Benazir, Asif Ali Zardari and many party workers of PPP, MQM and PML-Q to contest elections. Benazir died in a successful assassination attempt and could not enjoy it. Our President and PM could never contest the election if NRO was not there.
On 3 November, 2007 Musharraf declared a state of emergency as Chief of Army Staff. It was second martial law by him and this time he was trying to save himself from Judiciary who was going to give a judgement on the legality of holding two offices of President and COAS at the same time. Chief justice was put under house arrest and remaining judges were ordered to take a fresh oath under provisional constitution order. Many judges accepted the order and Supreme Court once again surrendered to the will of a dictator.
Musharraf resigned from the army on 28 November 2007.
After the general Elections of 2008, PPP made the government. On 7 August 2008, the Pakistan Peoples Party and the Pakistan Muslim League (N) decided to force Musharraf to step down from presidency. They agreed to impeach him if he did not resign. Musharraf could not sustain the growing political pressure and gave his resignation on 18 August 2008.
The biggest problem he created, other than making a joke of constitution, is the militancy and extremism in tribal areas and NWFP. Bomb blasts and suicide attacks are a routine now. Many foreign investors have left Pakistan which increased the unemployment of educated youth. In his long tenure he failed to increase the production of electricity and did not build any major dam for water storage. Country is facing electricity and water shortage because of it. Industries are closing down and agriculture is also affected. He was receiving a lot of aid from international community throughout his rule but when he left the Presidency there was nothing in the government banks. All the money was gone, most probably into his own belly.
He did not solve any of our problem. He imposed both of his martial laws to save his own place. In 1999 he was trying to save himself from court martial and in 2007 he was running away from judiciary. Army supported him in every step and they never learned from the past, the biggest proof of this fact is his residence in Army house in Rawalpindi which should be used by COAS.
