It was not the first time that Pakistan had to see the Military rule.
Mr Sharif, the then Prime Minister of Pakistan, was widely seen as corrupt, nepotistic and incompetent. In 1998 Gen. Pervez Musharraf was given the charge of Army.
But soon, there developed serious conflicts between Mr Sharif and Gen Musharraf.
While Gen Musharaff was on the visit to Sri Lanka, Mr Sharif ordered his dismissal and appointed Ziauddin But in his place to lead the army. It was this step that led the army to get into action. Moreover, Musharahh was not allowed to land in Pakistan and the Pro-Musharaff sprang into action and the coup was attempted successfully.
It was 12th October and that is how Musharraf became the Chief Executive of Pakistan till 2008. The army surrounded the Prime Minister’s official residence, and after some minor struggle with the police and the guards, the Prime Minister Mr Musharaff and his brother and Gen. Ziauddin were arrested.
It must be noted that Kargil War and the Lahore declaration are also cited reasons behind the conflict between and Mr Sharif Mr Musharaff.
