1993 in Pakistan

1993 in Pakistan

While Pakistan moves closer to peaceful negotiation with Afghanistan in 1993, the nation was fed with enough governmental dramatisation when President Ghulam Ishaq Khan dissolves the National Assembly of Pakistan and dismisses the Nawaz government. Towards the end however, Farooq Laghari is appointed the eighth president and Benazir Bhutto is ushered into the office yet again.__TOC__
