Pakistani federal government (1993–96) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Second Benazir Bhutto government was formed on 19 October 1993,[1] following general elections the same month and dissolved on 5 November 1996 by President Farooq Leghari.[2]: 118 During the beginning of her second term Benazir Bhutto entered into a much stronger government than in her first term and had greater experience in administration and civil-military relations.[3][4][5] This owing to Peoples Parties governments in Sindh, NWFP (with the ANP) and Punjab (with PML-Jinnah),[6] the election of PPP "loyalist" Farooq Leghari to the presidency,[7] and greater relations with the Army under COAS Abdul Waheed Kakar and DG-ISI Javed Ashraf Qazi, who provided a conduit between the Army Chief and Prime Minister,[4] as Benazir Bhutto respected the army's internal affairs and autonomy in her second term to avoid conflict.[3] However, the government's stability suffered from economic mismanagement, growing instances of ethno-sectarian violence, increasing deadlock with the opposition PML(N), an antagonized upper-judiciary after Bhutto tried to "pack" the High Courts and later a political conflict with the President.[8] The Army (now under Gen Jehangir Karamat) which previously remained neutral became concerned over the "fast deteriorating" economic and law-and-order situation, submitting the President a report warning of "economic disaster".

The last straw came in September 1996 when Bhutto's brother, Murtaza was assassinated following tensions between the two. By mid-October, senior military officials no longer believed the government had the required competence, and therefore supported Farooq Leghari in the political conflict between President and Prime Minister.[9] Prior to this Farooq Leghari had already met with Nawaz Sharif and discussed the dismissal of the government. Confident in military support and to pre-empt a PPP-PML(J) vote of no confidence in Punjab,[lower-alpha 1] as well as due to economic conditions the President dismissed the government of Benazir Bhutto on 5 November 1996.[11][12]
