Pakistan was not a true democracy in the year 1999
Explanation:
The following were the reasons why the regime in Pakistan was not declared a democracy under General Pervez Musharraf:
(i) In October 1999 General Pervez Musharraf overthrew a popularly elected government and became Pakistan's Chief Executive Officer. In 2002 he held a referendum that gave him a five-year extension. He restored his status as President.
(ii)A 'Legal Framework Directive' was issued in 2002 August, granting the President power for suspending regional or provincial meetings. The civil cabinet 's work was supervised by an army-dominated National Security Council.
(iii) There were elected officials, but the military and General Musharraf themselves retained the absolute power. The people of Pakistan had not selected any of them.
