Abstract
In democracy the strength of the state institutions depends on the relationship among central
government with opposition and with provincial governments. Pakistan consists of a centre and
four federating units having mix nationalities. The relationship among the ruling party in the
centre with opposition and the governments in provinces most of the time remained unpleasant
and unfriendly. It is argued that personal rather the national considerations augmented
confrontation and conflict among national and regional level political leaders. This paper
investigates the factors which have provoked politics of confrontation both within the parliament
between ruling and opposition party and with provincial governments especially Punjab during
Benazir Bhutto’s first term in office as prime minister. To find answers to these questions,
secondary data has been utilized and to supplement this, newspapers have been consulted as
well. This paper gives a detailed account of the reasons of politics of confrontation during PPP
first tenure in government.
