Behind rhetoric and threats lies a more serious development in Pakistan—absolute military centralisation that rewrites its defence doctrine and civil-military balance

Pakistan's new CDF Asim Munir now holds unprecedented military power. Reform or danger? History suggests one answer

In a blistering frontal attack on India and Afghanistan, Pakistan's new Chief of Defence Forces (CDF), Asim Munir, in his maiden address, warned India of deadly retaliation while also conveying a message to the Taliban, asserting that Pakistan’s invincibility is protected by “faith-filled warriors.”

It may be reiterated that Field Marshal Asim Munir very recently assumed absolute powers by appointing himself as the CDF, obtaining the assent of the political leadership as well, thus usurping absolute powers. For this, Pakistan underwent a major constitutional amendment establishing a Defence Forces Headquarters to integrate the Army, Navy, and Air Force.

Displaying his belligerent rhetoric and aggressive hegemonistic designs, he went on to threaten India that this time, in case of a military conflict, Pakistan's response would be even swifter and more severe than on previous occasions. He also insinuated through his message to the Taliban that it has no choice but to choose between Fitna Al Khawarij (a term used for the outlawed Pakistani Taliban) and Pakistan. Munir also claimed that Pakistan is a “peace-loving” country. However, no one will be allowed to threaten Pakistan’s sovereignty, territorial integrity, or test its resolve. He meant to remind his constituency that the concept of Pakistan is unbeatable and the firm resolve of a united nation protects it. CDF Asim Munir was formally appointed the country’ first CDF on December 4, marking what many experts described as the most significant overhaul of Pakistan's military command structure since the 1970s.
