Pakistan: New laws strengthen Army Chief Asim Munir's control
The Pakistani Parliament has quickly pushed through legislation that grants expanded authority to Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir, leading analysts to describe the move as a 'legal' or 'soft' coup. Under these updated regulations, the Army, Navy, and Air Force are now unified under a single Defence Forces Headquarters, which is led by Munir. He is now empowered to decide on the retirement, dismissal, or retention of military personnel and holds the authority to adjust existing retirement age limits.
