Question

What was the ‘legal framework order’ passed by Pervez Musharraf in August 2002?

Answer 1

Hint: Pervez Musharraf in 2020 overthrew a democratically elected government and proclaimed himself the 'Chief executive' of Pakistan. Legal framework order was passed into the constitution, by the Seventeenth Amendment Act 2003, which went through parliament on 31 December 2003.

Complete step by step answer: Legal framework order was an order issued to amend the constitution of Pakistan. This order was passed by General Pervez Musharraf. According to this order, the president has the power and right to dismiss the national and provincial assemblies. The civilian cabinet and the different work related to it was supervised by the national security council. This security council was heavily dominated by military officers which isn’t a spirit of democracy. Not only that but he also overthrew the democratically elected government. Later he declared himself as the chief executive of Pakistan.

Note: The capital of Pakistan is Islamabad. It ranks as the fifth most populous nation of the globe. It is an Islamic state and has the second-largest Muslim population in the entire world. Pakistan observes its independence day on 14th August, a day before India celebrates its independence.
