Pakistan’s Army Chief Asim Munir is poised to gain expanded powers through constitutional reforms that aim to centralize military authority. The proposed legislation, which has passed the Senate, would transform Munir into the Chief of Defence Forces, granting him command over the army, air force, and navy, while also providing him with lifetime legal immunity. Additionally, the reforms seek to strip the Supreme Court of its jurisdiction over constitutional matters, raising concerns about potential political interference and diminishing judicial independence. Critics argue this move reflects a creeping militarization of governance, while the government contends it is vital for national defense amid recent tensions with India. The situation underscores ongoing tensions between civilian institutions and military influence in Pakistan.
