We have had all kinds of marches, for example, long march, short march, quick march, double march, etc. But can governments be overthrown through long march? History will have to be explored. When Nawaz Sharif became the prime minister for the first time, General Aslam Beg Mirza was the army chief. He was in contact with the army chief of the People's Party, General Aslam Beg Mirza. Although his tenure was ending on August 17, 1991, his successor was announced five months earlier on March 3, 1991, due to concerns. Despite the early appointment of the new chief, rumors continued to circulate that something was going to happen until General Asif Nawaz took charge. However, Benazir Bhutto announced a protest movement against the government. They were expected to give "Nawaz". They decided to remain neutral. On December 19, 1992, when the long march reached Islamabad, sticks were pelted on the leader of Hizb-B, Mrs. Benazir Bhutto, Farooq Leghari was tortured, and tear gas was used so abundantly that even the nearby houses were affected. It failed. Then it happened that Abel beat me and Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif addressed the nation and said that he will not take dictation. President Ghulam Ishaq Khan dissolved the National Assembly and sent him home. Mir Balkh Sher Mazari was made caretaker Prime Minister. When the petition against this decision was being heard in the Supreme Court, Justice Naseem Hassan Shah met Major General Ziauddin Khawaja, Commander of 11 Division in Lahore and asked him what the Army Chief wanted in this regard. He was told that on merit. Make a decision So Nawaz Sharif's government was restored on May 26, 1993. Now the situation was that on the one hand the opposition parties were demanding early elections and on the other hand it became difficult to run the government due to mistrust between the President's House and the Prime Minister's Office. July 1993 was a Thursday. The 10th of Muharram was a holiday, but General Abdul Waheed Kakar, the Chief of the Pakistan Army, called the Commanders' Conference. The Prime Minister was informed of the unanimous decision of the military leadership that holding elections immediately is inevitable. In this all-party conference, the date of the long march could not be agreed, but later it was announced that there will be a long march towards Islamabad on July 16. Famous journalist Azhar Sohail on page number 140 of his book "Government of Agencies". writes, "On July 15, at five o'clock in the evening, the Chief of Army Staff, General L. Abdul Waheed, contacted Ms. Benazir Bhutto on telephone in Lahore and asked her to come to Islamabad immediately and told her that a military plane was standing at the airport to pick her up in Lahore. At six o'clock in the evening, she left Lahore and reached Rawalpindi at half past seven. From there she was directly taken to GHQ. Her husband Asif Ali Zardari was also accompanied on this occasion. While doing it, he said, "Ms., you tell me this, you people bring Why do you want to march?" Ms. also gave a short answer and said, "so that the pressure can be increased for re-elections in the country". And I guarantee it to you. It was the first long march that succeeded before it started. Under the "Kakar formula" both the president and the prime minister resigned and general elections were announced.
Later,
during the second term of Benazir Bhutto's government, a series of palace
conspiracies started, then Mian Nawaz Sharif called a meeting of the Central
Working Committee of the Muslim League (N) in Lahore on August 1994 and after a
passionate speech called the "Movement of Salvation" against the
government. The People's Party government was barely a year old, so the leaders
of the Muslim League (N) were in a state of confusion over this decision. In
his book Between Dreams and Realities, Sartaj Aziz describes the meeting and
writes that "a party leader told Nawaz Sharif that the support of three
'A's" is required to run a movement in Pakistan and come to power. That
is, Allah, America and the Army. How many "A's" do you have? Nawaz
Sharif smiled and said, "For now, only Allah is with us." However, in
the month of September, Tehreek Najat started. Large meetings and successful
rallies were held across the country. Qazi Hussain Ahmed came forward when the
government could not be relieved immediately. When Jamaat-e-Islami tried to
stage a sit-in in the federal capital, Islamabad became a battlefield. But the
government could not be overthrown. Meanwhile, Murtaza Bhutto was killed in
Karachi. Qazi Hussain Ahmed called for another dharna from 27 to 29 October.
After which President Farooq Laghari issued permission for the resignation of
the Kubanazir government on November 5, 1996. Thus, Qazi Hussain Ahmed's sit-in
can be called the second successful long march. The third successful long march
was done by Nawaz Sharif. When he left Model Town Lahore on October 16, 2009,
he was told by telephone in Gujranwala that the government is ready to restore
the ousted judges including the Chief Justice. Imran Khan also had the same
wish to get the good news before the long march reached Islamabad. Contacts
were also made. In the moonlit nights, Qamar and Anjum were requested to
announce the date of the elections so that there is a chance to save the honor.
Imran Khan does not have an "A" but an "F". But on the
other hand, there is not one, but two "F" ie "FF", so there
is no chance of the success of this long march of Imran Khan.
