General Pervez Musharraf, the chief of staff of the Pakistan Armed Forces has decreted the emergency status and took over the executive power in Pakistan during the early night hrs of friday, the 15th of october 1999, two days after the prime-minister Nawaz Sharif was removed from his attributes.
According to an official statement published integrally by the Associated Press of Pakistan (APP), general Musharraf took over the executive power in Pakistan, while "the whole country passed under the control of the armed forces".
The National Gathering, the Senat and the local Gatherigs were also disolved, while the Constitution was suspended. According to the document quoted above, the former secretaries of Nawaz Sharif's former government will cease to do their jobs, while the president Rafiq Tarar will be under the new chief of Executive's orders.
The State Hit organized by Musharraf took place a few hrs after the former pakistaneze premier announced the removel of general Musharraf from his function in the military. Sources from the military declared thursday the 14th of october 1999 that they took over the power in order to prevent a conspiracy that would "remove phisically" the general.
In his announcement, general Musharraf, who is the chief of Land Armed Forces and also the chief of Inter-arms Operational Staff, said that he had authorized the installation of emergency status in the entire country after consulting with the Cmdrs of the Navy, the Air Force and also with the generals who command each army corps.
Martial Law
One of the responsibles inside a human rights organization said that this is "the installation of martial law in the country, but without saying the name for it". Martial Law has been decreted before in Pakistan between 1977 and 1985 by general Mohammad Zia ul-Haq.
The Pakistaneze military leaders took the decision of claiming the emergency status after two days of consultings in the city of Rawalpindi where the General Staff of the Armed Forces is located as well as in Islamabad, Pakistan's capitol city.
This event is very important due to the fact that Pakistan and its neighbour India are two countries debating since many years about a commonly disputed provence located somewhere between, in and around their borders, Kashmir.
India and Pakistan are both developing nuclear capabilities despite the international threats to affect them both with economical sanctions.
India also has a very powerful military, armed with MiG21 Fishbeds which will soon be upgraded to the new standard imposed by MAPO Mikhoyan, MiG21-2000, standard which was rejected to be imposed on Romanian MiG21s, currently MiG21 Lancers. Also, India has a segnificant nomber of MiG29 Fulcrum s and a large array of Soviet or Russian -built weapons. India will also purchase at least 50 Su30MKI Flanker s, and is also interested in other modern Russian weaponry projects like the SMT upgrading for their MiG29s, the Russian anti-aircraft and SAM installations like S-300, S-400, SA-19 Grisom, etc and also Russian tanks from the latest generation, especially T-80U but also T90s.
