Question

How can you say that Pakistan was not exercising democracy when General Musharraf was ruling?(VERY SHORT ANSWER)

Answer 1

Answer:

The government in Pakistan, under General Musharraf, cannot be called a democracy because: (i) People may have elected their representatives to the national and provincial assemblies but those elected representatives are not really the rulers. They cannot take the final decisions.

Answer 2

Pakistan under General Musharraf is not called a democracy because the rulers were not elected by the people.  

People might have elected their representatives to the national and provincial assemblies but these elected representatives were not really the rulers. They could not take the final decisions. 

The power to take final decisions rested with army officials and with General Musharraf, and none of them were elected by the people.
