Abstract
In Pakistan we witnessed a sharp division/tension between the civil-military bureaucracy from the very birth of our country. Initially civil bureaucracy was holding the cake & eating it too. But soon the military bureaucracy replaced the civilbureaucracy. Frequent impositions of martial laws further facilitated this process so much so that Musharraf regime did the maximum harm to our state & society. He boastfully proclaimed, “If you want to keep the army out, you have to bring it in”. As a result of his policy all key positions of various state institutions were assigned to military manpower. Masses or their representatives were never allowed to play their role in the administration of the affairs of the state & this tug of war still goes on. In this article, our aim is to assess the saga of Musharraf regime & its aftermath.
