    The challenges facing Benazir Bhutto in Sindh were one reason she left office in 1990. Specifically, educated residents opposed her special rights for Sindhis and increasingly supported the MQM party. However, other factors also contributed to her downfall, including a failed no-confidence motion, the president refusing her appointments, and failing to deliver promised economic reforms as unemployment and inflation grew. Accusations against her husband further weakened her government allowing the president to dismiss it in 1990 using his constitutional powers.

    Sindh
    Well educated muhajirs opposed the special rights for Sindhis introduced by Benazir
    Bhutto and increasingly supported the Muhajir Quami Movement (MQM).Sindh was an
    area of growing opposition to the Pakistan People’s Party(PPP) and growing support for
    the MQM.Benazir Bhutto tried in vain to gain the support of the MQM to form a coalition
    government by promising to protect the interests of all the people of Sindh.

    Other challenges
    Her government was damaged by an unsuccessful no-confidence motiontabled by
    opposition parties including Islami Jamhur i Ittehad (IJI) led by Nawaz Sharif.President
    Ghulam Ishaq Khan refused to appoint the judges and military personnel she wished,
    making it difficult for her to govern Pakistan effectively.Promised economic
    development programmes and social and health reforms did not produce the effects
    hoped for. The government lost support as unemployment, inflation and population grew
    rapidly makingprogress difficult.Accusations from political opponents regarding
    mismanagement leadingto the arrest and jailing of her husband Asif Ali Zardari. Further
    rumoursweakened the government enabling President Ghulam Ishaq Khan to usethe
    Eighth Amendment to dismiss the government in 1990.
