President General Pervez Musharraf (born 11 August 1943) has ruled Pakistan since 12 October 1999 when he overthrew the government of Prime Minister Mian Muahammad Nawaz Sharif who tried to dismiss him and appoint another general as the army chief of staff. Musharraf hails from a lower middle class family of Urdu-speaking parents who migrated to Pakistan from Delhi, India, when Pakistan was created in 1947 as a separate Muslim-majority state in the Indian subcontinent.
