There is a stir in the politics of Pakistan once again. There is a discussion in the army and political circles of the country that Field Marshal Asim Munir is preparing to play a big game. Speculations are rife that Field Marshal Asim Munir may oust President Asif Ali Zardari and take over the reins of power. So is Pakistan on the verge of another military coup? Let’s get to the bottom of this.
In the last few weeks, many such incidents have happened which have fueled these rumours. The tension in the country and political rhetoric have further intensified these discussions. What is the truth behind this political storm? Is India’s neighbouring country once again going to step into a new era of power? The Pakistani government took a shocking decision in May. General Asim Munir was given the rank of Field Marshal. This is the second time in the history of Pakistan that a military officer has received this rank. Earlier, General Ayub Khan had made himself Field Marshal in 1959.
At that time the rule of Pakistan was in the hands of the army. Questions were raised on Munir’s promotion. This announcement came after India’s ‘Operation Sindoor’. In June, General Munir visited America and met President Donald Trump there. This meeting was unique in itself, because for the first time a Pakistani officer was invited to the White House.This meeting created a stir in political circles. Many experts believe that this meeting is proof of Munir’s growing power and political ambition. After this, speculations intensified that Munir could stage a coup.
Because if President’s rule is imposed, not only will Shahbaz lose his chair, but the Sharif family’s relevance will also end. That’s why Shahbaz’s party is in constant touch with the Pakistani Army so that Bilawal can be stopped.After the changing equation between Asim Munir and Zardari, former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s party has started protesting. Along with this, Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif is also opposing this change.
