 Article 58(2)(b)  V / S  democracy in Pakistan.

In 1999, the Pakistan Army General Pervez Musharaf assumed power in a military-lead bloodless coup. Among the reasons he gave for doing so were the destruction of institutional checks and balances, and the prevailing corruption in the political leadership. The Supreme Court later validated the removal of ex Prime Minister Mian Nawaz Sharif on the grounds that the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments resulted in a situation for which there was no constitutional remedy.

In October 2002, elections were held in Pakistan. In December 2003, Parliament passed the 17th amendment, which partially restored the President’s reserve power to dissolve Parliament and thus remove the Prime Minister from office, but made it subject to Supreme Court approval.

Now the Pakistani Nation have got another Breaking News today that the Pakistan Peoples Party and the Pakistan Muslim League (N) jointly with other Political parties coalition have started their campaign against the President Musharaf for an impeachment. Which will be started from the Provincial Assemblies of Pakistan in this week. The said steps towards the democracy verses the President of Pakistan.

It will be a wise step of Mr. Pervez Musharaf at this stage, if he shall resign from the office of the President of Pakistan and leave the country in the best interest of Pakistan’s democracy as well as for his own family. Otherwise, he can be arrested after the successful impeachment against him from the National Assembly and could face various swear criminal charges in future.
