As a lover of sweet meat, there are few better days when you get to eat lots of free mithai. 12th October, 1999 was such day.
economy was in tatters, wheat shortage, qarz utaro mulk sawaron and other gimmics were rife. jamat e islami was doing dharana in islamabad because nawaz sharif had declared himself amir ul momineen. Earlier Supreme court was attacked by pmln gullus because then CJ had called PM nawaz for contempt of court for publishing cartoons against him on PTV. Then there was the Kargil debacle with ctbt running to bill clinton for help. In between the 98 nuclear tests, Hakim Said murder and Karachi operation
In reality, 1997-99 was one of the most happening periods in pakistan's history that all culminated on 12 October, 1999. Mushi dismissed 2/3 majority PM nawaz and took over the country without any opposition. I remember PTV broadcast had stopped as we used to watch english news bulletin. Only after calling the newspaper wala we came to know about the good news. celebrations ensued.
