Abstract
The dictators come into power with the announcement of the
suspension of existing constitution and political activities. They launch
the program of reforms so that the favors of the population may be
secured. The political parties are the most organized and
institutionalized agents of oppositions in any society. Therefore, the
focus of the study is the role of opposition political parties. It is not
possible for one party to challenge the rule of dictator and alliances
come into existence for powerful movements against the dictators. The
present study not only helps to understand the causes of political
instability and the role of opposition parties against the dictatorship of
Zia government.
