General Parvez Musharaff’s takeover of Pakistan took place due to ________.

• A. failure of judiciary alone
• B. failure of judiciary and the legislature
• C. failure of the legislature alone
• D. existence of strong judiciary and the legislature

Answer 1

The correct option is B failure of judiciary and the legislature

Important democratic institutions like the judiciary and the legislature could not step up to their task when General Parvez Musharaff’s tookover of Pakistan. They were not able to put up a stiff resistance to General Parvez Musharaff’s takeover of Pakistan. The system of checks and balances that is generally seen in a democratic nation was missing in Pakistan.
