It was main agenda of Military government to resolve internal as well as external issue. Although, Gen. Musharraf suspended the Constitution 1973, the military government of the Gen. Musharraf has showed its willing to work remain under the constitution and abound rules of law. The military government of Musharraf adopted the tactics of divide and rule. The opposing group of the military government argued that a process of special court (NAB) is not need to tackle the cases of corruption against the political leaders and also argued that to expel politicians from contributing in October polls, the NAB process were being launched. The top political parties blamed to military government to strengthen his positon on civil rules in Pakistan. On the other hand, the military government was troubled by refusing to share power with well-organized political party. The Pervez Musharraf decided with allowing to all major political parties for its survivals.
