Re: Pakistan Studies Help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well lets see this question mostly i have very less knowledge about this as very little of it is described in any books.Its mainly written in Nigel Smith but i was thinking of finding something on wikipedia and here is what i came up with,

A.1.well basically Musharaff took over mainly for personal veto and the armies revenge,after the decision in kargil where the army was told to give up the land it gained there and sharif blamed him for this but the general said it was the decision of the prime misnister and hatred was seen between the two when sharif tried to sack the general by not allowing him to return to pakistan when he was away at Srilanka.

2. He accused the Prime Minister of leading the country to a political, economic and security abyss and of attempting to fragment and politicise the military institution in order to satisfy his hunger for power,therefore he wanted to remove this type of leader and gain power himself.

3. the American statement issued on 22 September 1999, which warns against thinking about toppling the elected government, and which calls for the concept of peaceful succession to power to be firmly instilled, gave a clear indication that the days of Nawaz Sharif in power had become numbered.So it was inevitable that a ruler might remove The existing PM from power.

I dont know really if this answer is correct as there is very little matter in any books and if you search online you find irrelevant stuff so if this question comes in the CIE paper i would definately leave it and do other questions. :)
