[edit] As the Interim Prime Minister

The continuing political crisis of 1993 in Pakistan came to an abrupt halt when the Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and President Ghulam Ishaq Khan both resigned after two weeks of intense negotiations among the Nawaz Sharif government, Benazir Bhutto, and the army. The resolution of the crisis was unique because for the first time in the nation's history a government had voluntarily stepped down in order to avoid a possible military intervention. The negotiations had been mediated by General Abdul Waheed Kakar, the Army Chief of Staff. The resultant agreement and its implementation followed strict constitutional procedure. Ghulam Ishaq Khan was replaced by the chairman of the Senate,Wasim Sajjad, who functioned as Acting President until the elections. More important, Moeen Qureshi, a former civil servant and senior World Bank official, agreed to serve as caretaker Prime Minister.He appointed his younger brother Salman Qureshi (Inspector General of Punjab Police Retd) to serve as the Secretary to the Prime minister, as he is a well known and respected figure in the civil service and political community of Pakistan. Qureshi, a Pakistani national, had left the World Bank in 1992, obtained permanent residence status in the United States, and established his own company, Emerging Markets Corporation . He is currently Chairman, Managing Partner and a founder of the company.
