Pakistan Army Chief: The Pak Army’s knee and waist were all broken! Even then, Munir got a big promotion. From General, he was promoted to Field Marshal. That is what is being talked about in Pakistan.
The Indian Army’s heroic deeds left the Pakistani army with broken knees and backs. Even then, the country’s army chief received a big reward. Asim Munir has been promoted from General to Field Marshal. This is now the talk of the town in the whole country. Since independence, only one person has been promoted to this position before. But he also has a different history. It is good to remember that the rank of Field Marshal is the highest military rank and five-star rank in Pakistan. Asim is occupying that position.
According to sources, General Ayub Khan had earlier elevated himself to this position in 1959. This time it is Asim Munir again. According to Pakistani media and a statement issued by the Prime Minister’s Office of that country, the Pakistani cabinet approved the promotion on Tuesday. The rank of Field Marshal in the Pakistan Army is not only a great honor, but also gives the highest authority in making strategic decisions. This means that Munir will now have immense power in the Pakistani army as well as in the government here.
Former ISI chief
This rank will not only give Munir control over the army, but will also make him a policymaker in political-military affairs. According to informed sources, after becoming a field marshal, Asim Munir may now get the freedom to strengthen coordination between the Pakistani army and intelligence agencies. Asim Munir started his military career in 1986. He was also the head of Pakistan’s intelligence agency ISI. In 2022, he became the 11th army chief of Pakistan. He has been in that position since then.
India-Pakistan Relations
The statement “anti-India army chief in an even bigger position” seems to suggest that General Munir holds strong views or policies perceived as adversarial toward India. This would not be surprising given the longstanding tension between the two nations, especially over Kashmir, border skirmishes, and regional influence.
Pakistani army chiefs often play a central role in shaping the country’s foreign policy, especially toward India. However, labeling any COAS as strictly “anti-India” simplifies a complex geopolitical dynamic. While rivalry and military posturing are common, such characterizations can also be shaped by media narratives.
