Issue and Opponent: Nawaz Sharif has served as Prime Minister of Pakistan from 1990-1993, 1997-1999, and 2013-2017. After first coming to power as Prime Minister in 1990, Nawaz pushed for the industrial development of Pakistan through privatization and economic liberalization. Shortly after this time, Nawaz was accused of corruption and money laundering. In 1999, Nawaz was ousted from power as the result of a military coup. After his second term, many opposition leaders and a large portion of the civilian population in Pakistan did not believe Nawaz was faithful to the people or have their best interests in mind. Many believed when he was re-elected in 2013 as Prime Minister the elections must have been rigged. Protest movements soon began to force his resignation. Dilemma Action: Political party Tehreek-i-Insaf leader Imran Khan began his protests against the Prime Minister, Nawaz Sharif, on August 14– the nation’s Independence Day–as he led a freedom march (Azadi March) to free Pakistan of corruption. He claimed Nawaz and his government did not care about the public and were greedily motivated to continue to raise electric bills for the people to grow their wealth. A big part of his movement was calling out Nawaz for spending much of the government’s money on trips to the US. He pushed the narrative that the 2013 general elections were rigged. On September 14, opposition leader Tahirul Qadri of the Pakistan Awami Tehreek political party also began his protests, when he called for his supporters to follow his lead and write “Go Nawaz Go” on their currency notes. At this time, the State Bank of Pakistan released a statement condemning this action, and stating currency notes with this slogan on them will not be accepted in the banks across Pakistan. People continued to write on their currency and also began writing this slogan on anything and everything: sidewalks, diapers, cars, etc. Both opposition leaders led marches to Islamabad, where they then staged sit-ins. The opposition subjected the government to a dilemma action: either they could do nothing, allow for the defacement of Pakistani currency, and permit the message of the campaign to quickly spread, or they could actively try to oppose it and risk failure. Outcomes: PAT ended their sit-in on October 21, and PTI soon after on December 17. The cause for the end of the sit-in and stall of the movement was a terrorist attack on a school by the Tehrik-i-Taliban. Over 150 people died that day as six gunmen opened fired on the Army Public School. While the Go Nawaz Go movement did not result in Nawaz Sharif’s immediate resignation, it did spark concern over the validity of the elections. As a result, the Judicial Commission for Investigations on alleged electoral rigging was formed. The President vowed to hold Nawaz Sharif accountable. In 2018, Nawaz Sharif was sentenced to 7 years in prison based on corruption charges about his wealth and the wealth of his family. This movement was part of a larger campaign in Pakistan to demand fair and free elections and hold corrupt government officials accountable.
