Even after being defeated by India in Operation Sindoor, Pakistan promoted its Army Chief Asim Munir to Field Marshal. In the last few months, Field Marshal Asim Munir has become the most influential person of Pakistan. Now the Pakistan government is going to amend the constitution, under which Munir will be given more power.
What is the stance of Bilawal’s party on constitutional amendment?
Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif has been busy praising Asim Manir from different platforms for the last few days. The most important thing is that the information about the 27th constitutional amendment going to happen in Pakistan was not posted by Shahbaz Sharif but by Bilawal Bhutto on X. He revealed that Shehbaz Sharif has approached his party for support on the constitutional amendment.
Asim Munir’s power will be increased
In this amendment made by the Government of Pakistan, apart from the provision related to transfer of constitutional courts and judges, there is mention of changes in Article 243. Article 243 deals with the command and control of the Pakistani armed forces. Although Shehbaz Sharif has maintained secrecy regarding this decision, the proposal to amend Article 243 is being seen as increasing the status and power of Asim Munir.
Asim Munir is going to retire this month
At present the post of Field Marshal has no legal status in the Constitution of Pakistan. Officially Munir is going to retire on 28 November 2025. Munir’s tenure of service can be extended after the amendment in the Constitution. Pakistan’s Minister of State for Law, Akil Malik told Geo News that this is the first time since the implementation of the 1973 Constitution that an officer has been promoted to the rank of Field Marshal. He said that this needs to be considered in the constitutional system.
Former Pakistani MP raised questions
Former Pakistani MP Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar said that the purpose of the 27th amendment is to make changes in Article 243. Posting on Twitter, he said, ‘The main objective of the 27th Amendment is to make changes in Article 243, which deals with the control and command of the armed forces as well as the appointment of service chiefs. Everything else is just fanfare.
Former US Ambassador Khalilzad also targeted the Pakistan government and said, ‘Thinking is being done to give civilian rights to the armed forces by amending Article 243 of the Constitution. Is there a proposal to make the Army Chief the Commander-in-Chief? Will this end civilian control over the armed forces? Many types of rumors are spreading.
