Abstract
After imposition of third military dictatorship in Pakistan (1977-1988), civil
society consisting of labourers, journalists, women and students of Punjab took the
stance of resistance against dictatorial regime. The military administration took
strict action against the civil society through brutal use of military courts or
through police force imprisonment. The civil society move remained parallel to
dictatorial regime. The dictatorial regime could not minimize the impacts of
movement in the society despite severe punishments to participants of the move.
The only demand from civil society was the restoration of democracy in the county
which was promised by military dictator time and again.
