Nawaz Sharif, a three-time Prime Minister of Pakistan (1990-93, 1997-98, 2013-17), focused on economic liberalization, massive infrastructure development, and strengthening Pakistan’s defense. Key achievements included initiating the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), constructing major motorways (e.g., Lahore-Islamabad), and conducting nuclear tests in 1998, while also promoting privatization.
As chief minister, Nawaz stressed welfare and development activities and the maintenance of law and order. Khan beautified Lahore, extended military infrastructure, and silenced political opposition, while Nawaz expanded economic infrastructure to benefit the army, his own business interests, and the people of Punjab.
The PML-N government passed the Thirteenth and the Fourteenth Amendments to the Constitution of Pakistan to stabilize its mandate and strengthen its position. In 1998, the law and order situation came under the PML-N's control and economic recovery was also secured.
For most of the year, Pakistan was an Islamic republic with a democratic political system; however, on October 12, the elected civilian government of Prime Minister Mian Nawaz Sharif was overthrown in a bloodless coup led by Army Chief of Staff General Pervez Musharraf.
During his tenure, Khan's government launched major infrastructure and social programs, such as the Sehat Sahulat Program for free healthcare, and initiatives aimed at improving minority rights and promoting renewable energy.
