Question
Why is Pakistan under General Pervez Musharraf not called a democracy?
✓
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.
