Ans: Dismissal of Nawaz Sharifs Government:
President Ghulam Ishaq Khan charged the government of harassing its
opponents, as well as of gross irregularities in the process of privatization,
dismissed the government on the basis of these allegations, Nawaz Shart
challenged his dismissal in the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court ruled in
favour of Nawaz Sharif and observed that the dismissal was illegal and
unconstitutional. The government stood restored in principle, but differences
between the president and the prime minister were so grave in nature that
smooth running of the government had become impossible. In these
circumstances chief of the army staff intervened and convinced both the
prime minster and the president to resign.
