Pakistan has promoted its army chief, Asim Munir, to the prestigious rank of Field Marshal, a move officially credited to his leadership during recent confrontations with India.
This rare elevation is seen as a significant shift in Pakistan's military hierarchy and power structure, sparking debate within the country. Supporters argue it recognizes Munir's strategic role, while critics question the timing and motives behind the decision. The promotion is also being used to bolster Pakistan's narrative against India, reflecting heightened regional tensions.
Historically, such promotions have been controversial, with parallels drawn to past leaders who used the title to consolidate power.
