Junejo government

The Junejo government was formed on April 10, 1985, when Muhammad Khan Junejo became the prime minister of Pakistan. His tenure began under the influence of military president Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq, who maintained control over key appointments, including several federal cabinet ministers.

Known for his non-confrontational governance style, Junejo, a conservative member of the Pakistan Muslim League, directed administration officers to monitor the activities of parliament members, aiming to curb personal gains such as permits and plots, which eventually led to bureaucratic manipulations that weakened his rapport with parliamentarians.

Despite multiple efforts by the National Assembly to end martial law, General Zia repeatedly deferred its lifting, stating it would end at an "appropriate time." The assembly passed a unanimous resolution on May 26, 1985, demanding the cessation of martial law, which mirrored calls from provincial assemblies. However, General Zia, who had already planned the timeline for ending martial law since 1983, disregarded these demands, maintaining his presidential authority and continuing to exercise control over the government through the Revival of the Constitution Order.

On May 30, 1988, President Muhammad Zia ul-Haq dissolved the National Assembly of Pakistan and dismissed Junejo, citing the lawmakers' failure to maintain law and order. The announcement came shortly after Prime Minister Junejo's return from a state visit of China, South Korea, and the Philippines. The President stated that the decision was driven by the legislators' inability to uphold law and order and to advance the establishment of an Islamic society.
