Twenty-nine years ago today, on November 5, 1996 (September 25, 1996 lunar calendar), President Bhutto issued a proclamation to dissolve the government of Benazir Bhutto. Benazir Bhutto at a press conference In the early morning of November 5, 1996, Pakistani President Legari issued a proclamation to dissolve the Benazir Bhutto government and the National Assembly, announce that the general election will be held on February 3 next year, and appoint former National Assembly Speaker Malik Mehraj Khalid as the caretaker prime minister. A subsequent presidential decree blamed the Benazir Bhutto government for the mass bloodshed in Karachi; used the assassination of Mu Bhutto to to slander the president and the army; flouted the judiciary; corruption and nepotism in the government endanger national security and violate basic human rights. This is the fourth time that Pakistan has dissolved the cabinet and the National Assembly since the implementation of "democracy" in 1985. It is reported that Bhutto is now under house arrest in the prime minister's office, and her husband, Asif Zardari, the investment minister, has been arrested in the Punjab provincial government in Lahore on charges of corruption and suspected involvement in the killing of Mu Bhutto. A number of senior officials in Bhutto's cabinet and local governments have also been detained. Also sacked are the governors of four provinces in Pakistan, whose positions are concurrently held by the chief judges of the provincial high courts. Bhutto is the eldest daughter of the late Prime Minister Bhutto and the current chairman of the Pakistan People's Party. She was elected prime minister in 1988 and was sacked by President Ishaq Khan in 1990. He won the general election in October 1993 and became the prime minister of Pakistan again. He is still two years away from the expiration of his term in power. Analysts believe that corruption and economic difficulties are the main reasons for the ouster of Benazir Bhutto. The opposition has strongly accused the current government of various corrupt practices at all levels, including Asif Zardari, the husband of Benazir Bhutto, who is the investment minister, and accused him of using his position and Benazir Bhutto's influence to solicit bribes. Corruption has not only deprived Benazir Bhutto of the support of the general public, but also increasingly opposed Benazir Bhutto in the ruling People's Party. The economic downturn and high inflation have exacerbated social discontent. The local newspaper has compared the economic growth rate and inflation rate of previous Pakistani governments since 1980. It pointed out that the current Benazir Bhutto government's economic growth rate was the lowest, only 4.1%. However, the inflation rate was the highest, reaching 14.3%. The rupee, the legal currency of Pakistan, has depreciated twice in less than a year, increasing the living burden of ordinary people in the middle and lower classes. The economic difficulties not only caused dissatisfaction from all walks of life in the country, but also made it difficult for Pakistan to borrow abroad. The Pakistani government is in a passive position in the loan negotiations with the international monetary fund. Of course, the relationship between the prime minister and the president is not harmonious, which is also one of the reasons for this political change. Bhutto often bypassed Legari on some major issues, and Legari himself became increasingly dissatisfied with Bhutto's governance.
