Q10. What were the reasons behind the dismissal of Benazir’s Second Government?

Ans: Dismissal of Benazir Bhutto’s Second Government:

The country faced grave economic crisis during the second tenure of

Benazir. This government could not complete even this tenure like the first

one. Economic crunch and general unrest encouraged the opposition to

bring people on road. A successful sit in (dharana) was staged by Jamat-e-

Islami in front of the National Assembly. Situation deteriorated to such an

extent that the president could not wait much. Benazir’s second government

was dismissed on November 5, 1996 under section 58-2-B of the

constitution, by President Sardar Farooq Ahmad Khan Laghari.
