  • The Removal of Nawaz Sharif and Changing Role of Punjab in Pakistani Politics
    December 2014 15 August 2017 The Removal of Nawaz Sharif and Changing Role of Punjab in Pakistani Politics Tridivesh Singh Maini FDI Associate Key Points The removal from office of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif could be the precedent for a change of approach towards the civil-military relationship on the part of the influential province of Punjab. The most populous province of Pakistan, Punjab has long dominated the Pakistani polity and military. Sharif’s party, the Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz), heads both the Punjab provincial government and the national government. If the PML-N decides to continue Sharif’s attempts at better relations with India, it will again place the government at odds with the army, which wants oversight of foreign policy issues pertaining to Afghanistan and India. If the PML-N is interested in improving links with India, it will need to take action against terrorist groups. Summary The most populous province of Pakistan, Punjab has long dominated the Pakistani polity and military. Initially, at least, former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif – a Punjabi – enjoyed a close relationship with the army. That relationship soured, however, following his dismissal from office during his first term as Prime Minister in 1993. A key factor for the falling out between Sharif and the army was the former’s attempts to build a better relationship with India. Arguably, that enmity only increased during Sharif’s third, most recent, term in office. In the wake of Sharif’s disqualification on 28 July 2017, the influential, traditionally pro-army Punjab leadership is now instead backing Sharif’s party, the Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz), or PML-N.

Encapsulated within the party’s populism is capitalization on a political opening in Pakistan created by a tumultuous year and facilitated by perception of Khan as an ‘anti-politician politician.’ • The party possesses a security outlook in line with Pakistan’s security establishment and differs little from other political options in ways which should mitigate expectations that the PTI’s political engagement will bring lasting changes to Pakistan’s status quo. • Khan’s popularity with oft-politically marginalized groups and his emphasis on improving gov- ernment accountability are forcing other political parties to shift their responsiveness in ways In combination with which reflect changing notions of the responsibilities of the state to its citizens.
