The commission was formed by prime minister Nawaz Sharif in 1998, after various parties and individuals leveled up accusations against each other in their involvement in the event.[2] The findings of the commissions remained to be secretive, and the commission's inquiries were obstructed by the military authorities on multiple occasions. The commission submitted its report of non-performance to Prime Minister's Secretariat, also in 1992.[3]
