Abstract

Political stability is a valve of any government. If the valve is closed, a government is blocked. Pakistan came into existence on the bases of two-nation theory. Quiad -i- Azam wanted Pakistan to be a democratic state whereas all citizens enjoyed equal rights with out any discrimination. After the death of Quaid -i- Azam and the assassination of Liaquat Ali Khan, the Pakistan Muslim League and its successors had lost its prestige among the people that promoted the culture of palace intrigues, intimidation, squabbling and chair-politics. The governor-generals with the annexes of military-bureaucratic establishment dominated in decision-making process. The breaking and formulation of the governments were started that initiated the military to take over. The military governments introduced various forms of government. Moreover, to achieve economic and military assistance from USA military adopted some suicidal policies. The civilians and military regimes badly failed to address the main challenges (the role of Islam in politics, center-provinces relations, division of powers, sovereign parliament, free and fair elections, transparency and a comprehensive accountability of corrupt politicians) to political stability in Pakistan.
