pakistan did not experience true democracy under mushraff's rule because the true power of taking major decisions were in the hands of military officials. in a democracy major decisions must be formulated by the elected representatives but in pakistan military officials had real powers whereas representatives had nominal powers. the working of the civilian cabinet was superwised by national security council which was dominated by military. this were some of the reasons why pakistan under mushraff's rule can't be called as democracy.
