flag Pakistan advances a constitutional amendment to centralize military command under Army Chief Asim Munir, sparking concerns over civilian oversight and democratic norms.

flag Pakistan is advancing the 27th Constitutional Amendment to strengthen military command, creating a unified Chief of Defence Forces role for Army Chief Asim Munir and granting lifetime ranks like Field Marshal. flag The move, driven by lessons from the May 2025 India-Pakistan conflict and India’s Operation Sindoor, aims to centralize defense authority, though critics warn it may erode civilian oversight and provincial autonomy. flag The bill, backed by the government and pending Senate review, also proposes new federal courts and changes to provincial funding. flag Opposition leaders, including Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, have condemned the rushed process and expansion of military power, while legal questions remain over the validity of Munir’s extended tenure.
