Answers
Answer:
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.
Hey dear, here is your answer
♦ In Pakistan, General Pervez Musharraf who was a military head, declared himself the 'Chief Executive' and later President for five years after the referendum in 2002.
♦ In August 2002, he issued a 'Legal Framework Order', according to which the President can dismiss the national and provincial assemblies.
♦ The work of the civilian cabinet is supervised by a National Security Council dominated by military officers.
♦ Pakistan has elected representatives, but final power rested with Musharraf himself. ♦Therefore Pakistan cannot be called democratic country because
in a democracy the final decision making must st with those elected by the people.
